These People Question Our Values?

Josh Marshall reports:

Rep John Dingell (D-MI) on Majority Leader Tom DeLay (TX-R): "These folks talk about values and decency, but then think it's okay to change the rules once it appears one of their own may have broken them. This amounts to a work release program for the ethically challenged. We should all remember that a decade ago, Mr. DeLay helped to create this rule. Republicans said at the time they were the party of reform and good government. Now they've become the party of moribund hubris."
Hubris, indeed. They really are completely full of themselves. Another perfect example is the 'nuclear option' apparently now approved. They will blow apart what little comity is left between the parties in Washington, and don't seem to care in the least.

Remember the famous 'Contract with America' and its call for term limits? I'll never forget Newt commenting after the R takeover of the house that term limits were no longer necessary now that they were in charge.

So what are we going to do about it
