Abu Wabu

Texas Rainmaker on Pelosian Pecksniffery:

Nancy Pelosi on Democrat William Jefferson’s indictment:
"…Mr. Jefferson, just as any other citizen, must be considered innocent until proven guilty…”

Nancy Pelosi on Republican Tom Delay’s indictment:
“[It’s] the latest example that Republicans in Congress are plagued by a culture of corruption at the expense of the American people ( By the way, Chickenlips, just how are those trumped-up charges proceeding against Congressman Delay? - Ed.).”

I can almost dismiss her hypocrisy as being simply a byproduct of partisanship - that’s predictable - but the fact she’s standing up for a man who was caught
on videotape taking bribes and caught red-handed with the money in his home freezer while condemning a man indicted by a politically-motivated D.A. on trumped-up charges brings into question her judgment and character.

Judgement?

Character?

While TR seems new to this realization, Nancy Pelosi has to me long represented the nadir of corruption of the spirit; it can be heard in almost her every utterance. She long ago abandoned any semblance of mere partisanship in the way most people know it, and fully embraced misrepresentation, misdirection, exaggeration and bald-faced lying, in service not just to occupying a place of power and authority, but to slandering and destroying the reputations of her enemies, without regard for the truth. She is everything that is wrong with the idiot left today, all wrapped up in one morally repugnant package.

Speaking of which, Hillary! has handed the Republicans a big case of ammo, hiring Alcee Hastings, of all people, to chair her Florida campaign. For those of you who don't know Alcee Hastings, Byron York has the definitive story. Short version: soliciting bribes, lying under oath, impeached from the bench.

So thanks for that, Mrs. Clinton.
