PROFILES IN HYPOCRISY. The Politico brings us a new milestone in journalistic excellency: Tom DeLay criticizing Democrats for corruption:
despite repeated pledges to the contrary, Democrats have made no move to require members to disclose earmark requests. Regarding the lowest of low-hanging fruit -- cleaning up the earmarking process -- Democrats have simply adopted the practices they once called corrupt.I'll admit the marginal interest a publication might have in seeing an ex-majority leader comment on Congressional politicking (even if he is still enmeshed in legal battles). But this is this sort of flamboyant insult to the short-term memory of its readers that should make a daily political gossip rag consider going... at least weekly.--Matt Sledge
