Nancy Pelosi Endorses Double Standard
Imagine my surprise (not really) when reading Drudge this afternoon when I stumble across this flash.14 lawmakers are now implicated in the travel-ethics-House-fiasco. And of the 14, DeLay is the most powerful, but certainly the Democrats are not completely innocent. In fact, apparently more Dem names appear on the list than Repubs, at least so far.
But, in typical politico-speak, Nancy Pelosi has mastered the art of making an inane, unfair, and entirely revolting issuance of a double-standard into nice bite-sized pieces to go with your latte:
Rep. Pelosi said, "It is not an issue of members of our Caucus having the same
sort of a problem. Make no mistake - there is a drastic difference between the
timing of reporting things and ethical behavior."
Extrapolating from her comment then, I gather that she believes Republicans to be "better" than Democrats, and therefore to be held to a higher standard. Or, maybe she believes that Republicans should be held to a higher standard because they are the party of money, greed, and big business. If it is the first, I suggest that the Dems find a different mouth to represent them, 'cause she's calling them ALL KINDS of STOOPID. And if the latter, then this vile piece of Hanta-virus-carrying-mouse-dropping should find a new job for having the audacity to suggest that there should be a double standard.
It is hypocrisy, plain and simple. You don't have to put marmalade on it; nothing hides the stink of absolute bullshit.
