He can point those in favor of a public option to his signature in support, and he can point those who use a tax increase as an excuse to oppose a public option to this letter. While you are taking a rather blase view of the inherent dishonesty of the misleading wording of this letter, I find this playing fast and loose with the "facts" pretty sickening. As for "Steny's Angels" -- someone should point out to Congressman Himes that when one lies down with dogs, one is apt to get fleas. I'd hoped for a lot better from Jim Himes, but it seems he's just business as usual. That Himes signed both these letters smacks of having his cake and eating it too.

As for “Steny’s Angels” — someone should point out to Congressman Himes that when one lies down with dogs, one is apt to get fleas. I’d hoped for a lot better from Jim Himes, but it seems he’s just business as usual.
