Holier than Thou, NOT.

This is what happens when people/political parties try to set up a standard of moral/ethical behavior and run politically on this standard...

Turns out that in the end we are all just human in oh so many different ways!

I love the image of Reed pulling his hair out that comes to my mind when reading this article in the NYTimes today. Here's a brief quote:

It is enough to make a self-respecting Republican want to tear his hair out in frustration, especially as the party is trying to defend an unpopular war, contain the power of the new Democratic majority on Capitol Hill and generate some enthusiasm among voters heading toward the presidential election in 2008.

“The real question for Republicans in Washington is how low can you go, because we are approaching a level of ridiculousness,” said Mr. Reed, sounding exasperated in an interview on Tuesday morning. “You can’t make this stuff up. And the impact this is having on the grass-roots around the country is devastating. Republicans think the governing class in Washington are a bunch of buffoons who have total disregard for the principles of the party, the law of the land and the future of the country.”
