The Phelps Effect

by digby

So the Vice President has declared that there will be no money spent on swimming pools in the stimulus. (Sigh. Again with the braindead validation of wingnut propaganda … oy vey.)

I wondered aloud why swimming pools were being targeted since they were infrastructure projects, community building and good for kids and Mr Digby speculated that “it’s the Phelps effect — they probably think swimming pools are a gateway drug.”

It makes as much sense as anything else.
