Luetkemeyer v. Luetkemeyer on AIG bonuses

Yesterday, freshman Congressman Blaine Luetkemeyer said that taxpayers need to get their money back from AIG executives:

“Taxpayers deserve better than this from their government, and that is why I am supporting a bill that moves quickly to return taxpayer dollars from the clutches of AIG executives.”

Twenty four hours later, when given the chance to literally "return taxpayer dollars from the clutches of AIG executives," he voted no.  Try to follow his logic here:

I am also extremely troubled that this bill opens the door for selective government taxation of individuals, which is constitutionally questionable at best. I co-sponsored legislation to force 100 percent of the money to be paid back immediately, but the majority – the ones that allowed this situation to happen in the stimulus – is now trying to recoup only 90 percent of the money.

Luetkemeyer couldn't support the bill because it would take money from just AIG executives. And also because it wouldn't take enough.

Oh, and he wants everyone to know that it's all the Democrats' fault. There's that too.
