There has been a lot of finger pointing lately by the democrats that are so incensed with the sucess that Tom Delay has had in marginalizing them, that they want him gone, evidence of no evidence. And to that end, they have been trying to create a scandal out of a regular activity - Taking Junkets on someone elses dime.
But as the old saying goes, when you point a finger at someone, 3 fingers are pointing back at you. And indeed as we have started to see trickle out, most of the abusers (if you want to call it abuse) of this perk of office are high ranking democrats. Indeed, Tom Delay ranks only 28th among recipients of this 'gift', and most of the democrats have been very tardy in reporting it (it is legal and it must be reported).
As countless times before, the democrats have only suceeded in pointing fingers at their own hypocrisy. Sure the willing sheep in the MSM went along with him and called for Tom Delay's head on a platter, but then we would not expect anything less from them. And it is amusing now to see the leaders of the democrat party (Pelosi, Biden, Bayh, etc) now suffering from selective amnesia of the trips they took while at the same time acting outraged that Delay dared to take some himself.
As with all the other made up scandals, the democrats are falling on their own swords. It is not like any of them will have their reputation questioned or calls for their resignation from the MSM. We already know they are in bed together. But now with the alternate forms of information available to all Americans, this one is failing just like the others did.
Until such time they qualify for Halos, it would behoove them to stop making mountains out of molehills. It only makes them look stupid and hypocritical. But then common sense and intelligence seem to be in short supply for the democrat leadership.
