UPDATED! 'Stimulus Jan' strikes three times in one day

Brewer's doublespeak strategy pushes triple press releases Friday

NOTE: Just three minutes after the press release below was sent, Gov. Brewer issued a press release headlined "Governor Jan Brewer Awards Grant to NAU" (the grant is funded by federal stimulus dollars).

PHOENIX -- As Election Day approaches, Jan Brewer's hypocrisy is going into overdrive. Today, "Stimulus Jan" struck twice in just four hours, sending out press releases touting aerospace and public safety initiatives that are actually funded by federal stimulus dollars.

On the campaign trail, Brewer makes sure to bash the federal government at every turn and blame the feds for her own failures here in Arizona. Yet she is lightning-fast at taking credit for job-creation efforts that in reality are funded by federal stimulus dollars. Brewer has been doing this more and more since August.

Fortunately for the voters, Brewer's hypocrisy is finally getting noticed. Consider:

-- This Oct. 10 Arizona Republic column by E. J. Montini. -- This Sept. 30 news report on Fox10. -- This Sept. 21 journalist roundtable on KAET's "Horizon"

Stimulus Jan is trying to pull a fast one on Arizona. In case you missed it, watch our recent video, "Stimulus Jan Strikes Again... and Again":
