In her blog, GOP Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota cites a Wall Street Journal piece to praise five Republican governors who oppose the stimulus plan. (No mention of our governor, Tim Pawlenty, who bad-mouthed the plan but plans to take the money.)

The governors: Haley Barbour of Mississippi, Bobby Jindal of Louisiana, Butch Otter of Idaho, Rick Perry of Texas and Mark Sanford of South Carolina.

Although they disapprove of the federal dollars -- in part because they'll disappear after two years, leaving expanded programs without further financing -- Bachmann notes the governors "will not have the final say as to whether or not they will accept the additional federal dollars. The article points to a 'little noticed provision' that allows the state legislators to override the decisions of their governors as to how the state should spend or not spend the stimulus money."

If the program flops in two years, and the states still face enormous deficits, "at least these Governors did their part to warn us," Bachmann says.
