"Tether the state in the morning and by noon it knows the full length of its tether." ---John Cotton (Paraphrased, actually)

[Bill Allison]

 

 

Wow.

 

You know, I was hardly happy to see that a lot of the detail had been lost from the office expenditure reports, and certainly said so quite vocally, but I'm not sure this is on the order of "flooding the swamp," and I think it's one of those issues that Washington insiders put far more emphasis on than anyone else.

While some embarrassment may have been saved by members who rent luxury cars or buy flat screen TVs, I think that pales in comparison to, let's say, the number of members who have investigations pending before the House Ethics Committee.

 

A silly thing to do? Yes. Something that could have been avoided? Yes. A huge scandal that floods the swamp?

 

Uh, not exactly.
