PROFILES IN REPUBLICAN HYPOCRISY: PART 3 OF WHO KNOWS HOW MANY.

PROFILES IN REPUBLICAN HYPOCRISY: PART 3 OF WHO KNOWS HOW MANY. Yesterday Matt brought you news of John Yoo accusing Democrats of disrespecting the constitution and Tom Delay criticizing Democrats for corruption. Today, via Steve Benen, we have Republican leaders in the Senate condemning Democrats for obstructionism. Really:

We really ought to be asking why this Democrat leadership won't allow Congress to move forward on serious policy debates," Mr. Kyl said, when asked about the talking-points memorandum he is circulating."Americans have been disappointed by a majority leadership that stages one show debate after another, while the only consistent legislative work getting done is the renaming of post offices."The document, a copy of which was obtained by The Washington Times, criticizes Mr. Reid for letting legislative priorities languish, including the drop of the Defense Department budget authorization bill -- which would have approved funds for equipment and troops' pay increases -- after Republicans last week blocked an amendment that set a spring deadline for a pullout.

Seriously? They really want to go there? The same Republican Senate leadership that is well on its way to shattering the record for filibusters? Good luck with that guys, let me know how it works out for you. --Sam Boyd
