Those corrupt Republicans

Denver Post:

In their 1994 "Contract With America," Republicans promised to "transform the way Congress works," to "end its cycle of scandal and disgrace" and to shrink a federal government "that is too big, too intrusive and too easy with the public's money."

But when it comes to manipulating the rules on ethics, pork-barrel spending, redistricting and the rights of the minority to debate and amend legislation, House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, Speaker Dennis Hastert and other GOP leaders have rivaled and sometimes trumped the Democrats they replaced.

It's a little distressing to say that, at least in the article, Newt Gingrich is the voice of reason.

There's plenty more at the link.
