By Craig Crawford | June 18, 2009 6:00 AM
Ah, if hypocrisy was a killer virus, we'd all be dead. But even by Washington standards the GOP is on a roll.
Nevada Sen. John Ensign, always first in line to call for the resignation of scandalous colleagues, reveals his own sexual affair with a staffer and only relinquishes a relatively meaningless Republican Party leadership position. Presumably, he will continue to pursue his presidential ambitions.
What happened to GOP claims that voting against Iraq war funding is nothing short of unpatriotic? Only five House Republicans voted in favor of yesterday's measure to provide $106 billion in funding for the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
The GOP health reform plan is out. All four pages of it. The outline claims it would put the nation on a path to universal health insurance by reforming Medicaid and the State Children's Health Insurance Program. Frankly, it makes no sense.
C'mon GOPers, even George W. Bush could do better than this.
