TPMtv: The Muck Gap

Okay, it's the unreported political story of the year: the GOP's ability to dominate scandal news even while in the minority. Usually, the majority party, with more power and money, takes the scandal cake. It's almost an iron law of politics. But whether it's lobby shop or the restroom, the GOP has so far been able to reverse the historical tide, maintaining a decisive muck advantage even in the political wilderness.

Sorry moron, that was over a decade ago. This piece is about politicians in trouble since the '06 election. (Do all republicans lack comprehension skills?)

P.S. you forgot Jim Gibbons (R) Governor of Nevada who is currently under investigation for bribery.

After Clinton, the Republicans vowed to clean up what they described as the Washington DC cesspool. They would be the party of accountability, moral values, personal responsibility. Unfortunately, it didn't take long for that cesspool to start feeling like a hot tub.

Hey, Josh, don't ya just love how these pathetic lil' neocon sycophants are posting their whiny diatribes about all the bad ol' dems, as though that excuses the malfeasance of their beloved republicans? Wrong is wrong is wrong, despite their efforts to deny or minimize the personal responsibility of their much vaunted demagogues. "But THEY did it, too!" is such a childish, meaningless rebuttal.

of law.

This speakmymind01 fellow is in serious denial about how corrupt and sleazy the Republican Party is. You notice he does not even try to defend his own party. He just goes on the attack like a typical Republican.
