Story is 1/2 way down the page, but the motion to reprimand John Murtha for his comments recently to a Republican representative was defeated and it was voted primarily along party lines. I guess the LA Times were right:
"It doesn't help the Democrats' image that this dispute over Murtha's comments originated in an earmark, a special-interest provision widely seen as part of the 'culture of corruption' decried by Democrats in the last election."
It also doesn't help that Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats campaigned on cleaning up the "culture of corruption" and they were going to run the most open and honest Congress in history. They've proven that they are only interested in keeping power rather than doing what's right.
God, I swear I just keep seeing example after example of Democrats blatant hypocracy and it shows in their poll numbers. It's almost getting to the point where I should just have a running tally on the various things that they've said they would do but do the opposite. At least with Republicans, when they screw up, they are booted out of Congress. I'm still waiting to hear something about William Jefferson getting booted from Congress for his bribery scandal.
