Rep. Melissa Bean doing her part in increasing the deficit


Melissa Bean is a Democratic congresswoman representing a district, Illinois' eighth, that President Bush won by a comfortable margin in 2004--the year she ousted longtime Republican incumbent Phil Crane.

She says she's Blue Dog Democrat, a fiscally conservative Democrat.

However, while visiting Backyard Conservative yesterday, I noticed that Bean is clearly another Democratic hypocrite.

Red State put the story out first.

The ostensibly deficit-hating Bean has on display in front of her congressional office a sign declaring that each American's share of the national debt is $29,000. That's on the left side of the picture. On the right is one of four 40 inch Bravia LCD HDTV television--they retail for $1,699.99 each.

From Red State:

As a Hill staffer so eloquently said to me yesterday, "This single photo might be the perfect embodiment of Democrat hypocrisy on the debt."

Melissa Bean: Just another Democrat who wants everybody else to be responsible with your money, while she spends it on cool stuff for herself.

Bean--she's just full of beans.
