We had to chuckle yesterday as we read this tweet from GOP Rep. John Shimkus:

According to The Hill, around the time Shimkus was complaining about being "stuck" on Capitol Hill, Reps. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) and Michael Arcuri (D-NY) were introducing a "legislative branch appropriations bill and a rules committee report respectively."

So why is Shimkus' tweet chuckle-worthy?  Because a little over a year ago, he used that same Twitter account to complain that Democrats were eschewing their responsibilities by leaving D.C. for August recess:

Of course, when the House reconvened in September 2008 and Speaker Pelosi held a vote on a compromise energy bill that expanded offshore oil drilling (the issue Republicans had been pushing in August), Shimkus twice tried to adjourn the chamber before the vote could be taken. 

What a piece of work.
