I’m here to tell you I’m proud to be valedictorian of the Tom Delay School of Congressional Ethics.
Why put too fine a point on it? The guy who can match up Patty Wetterling with Osama Bin Laden in campaign ads probably deserves much worse than being called a slimeball. In fact, if you meet me in person, I’d be happy to oblige. (“He’s lower than…” is how it usually starts.)
We’re amused that he’s unrepentant about his connection to Bush enough that he’ll certainly tag along to get the money Bush can raise. We find it particularly hilarious that he’s piously donating convicted felon Republican Congressman Duke Cunningham’s contributions to charity.
But what really gets a chuckle is that while he’s cozying up and playing like he’s got morality all of a sudden, he arranged a campaign appearance totally funded by, you guessed it, the government (your and my taxes) in violation of Congressional ethics rules.
Inconsistent, you say? Ok, I’ll finish what I started above. Kennedy’s lower than whale shit…in the Marianas Trench.
One more thing, the guys at mnpublius.com are doing a great job of reporting…something all too rare in the blogging world. Put them on your list to check in with on a regular basis. My only criticism is I wish they’d lose the black background and white type. Too damn hard to read for our “experienced” eyes.
