I Never Thought I'd Ever Admit To This . . .

. . . but I finally agree with Tom DeLay on something. This is a direct quote of what Mr. DeLay said on the House floor:

"The time has come that the American people know exactly what their Representatives are doing here in Washington. Are they feeding at the public trough, taking lobbyist-paid vacations, getting wined and dined by special interest groups? Or are they working hard to represent their constituents? The people, the American people, have a right to know."

Sure, radical right wingers will want to point out that DeLay made this statement on November 16, 1995, but does the fact that DeLay said this a decade ago make it any less true?

By the way, it looks like DeLay's hopes of regaining his post as House majority leader are fading fast.
