Reality Check

Jason over at Countercolumn has had it with all the hand-wringing over everyone's favorite Florida congressman:

Let's take a trip in the Wayback Machine to recall how Democrat congressional leaders handle reports of scandal when they're in charge:

The year is 1991. Democrats control the House and the Senate. Capitol Hill police are investigating a single Capital Hill employee for embezzlement. The investigation begins to spread. Turns out that Dan Rostenkowski, a Democratic congressman from Illinois and a product of the old Chicago Democratic Machine, may be implicated in the scam. So what does the Democratic House Speaker Tom Foley do?

Well, he bucks up like a man.

And shuts down the whole investigation.

Someone elsewhere pointed out, with some glee, how many Republicans were responsible for scandals lately. Listen up folks, that's only because there's just more Republicans there right now. They're all a bunch of theiving scumbags. Every one, even the nice ones, and the higher they go the more likely they are to start bubbling slime. Your choice is which bunch of thieving scumbags is least likely to do lasting damage to the country.

You have your opinion, I have mine. But if the phrase, "Speaker of the House Nacy Pelosi" doesn't send a shiver down your spine, you're just not paying attention.

And if you think the timing of all this is a coincidence I've got a bridge across a river in New York to sell you. The Democratic activists behind it all can only hope the pajamahadin on the right keep frothing instead of researching, because once it comes out how much they knew about all this, and when, there'll be hell to pay.

See you in November.
