I'll take hypocrisy for $200, Alex

In the early 1990s, the Republicans in Congress claimed the moral high ground over their Democratic colleagues when they introduced a rule to remove from leadership positions anyone charged with a felony. Goodbye, Rostenkowski!

But now, when Majority Leader Tom DeLay appears likely to be indicted along with his Texas associates for various campaign finance irregularities, they're racing to, um, change the rules (or is that, reclaim the low ground?)... Values indeed!
