DeLay:"All of us, all of us,...should be held to the highest of standards"

[madfloridian]

"All of us, all of us, every member, should be held to the highest of standards. And this speaker -- I -- and any other member should not be held to a double standard."

— Rep. Tom DeLay (R-Tex.), January 21, 1993

In their own words, a great post at the blog today. Two-faced and outrageous Republicans.

SNIP..."That Was Then, This Is Now
When it comes to matters of ethics, House Republicans and hypocrisy have become as well acquainted as a couple doing the tango. So why not walk down memory lane with me, back to a time when Republicans had ... what do you call 'em ... oh, yeah — scruples?

""I think honesty and integrity in the most fundamental ways are very very important in a free society and that corruption is an enormous threat in a free society."
— Rep. Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.), December 25, 1987

SNIP...""I think the members of Committee do their jobs honorably and honestly and yes, I want to see some civility restored to the debate in Washington. But I don't think we should say that that simply means that we're going to cover up any wrongdoing on the part of any member of Congress. We have a process that is working. We have members of that Ethics Committee on both sides of the aisle that are doing their jobs well and their integrity should not be impugned."
— Rep. Vin Weber (R-Minn.), May 31, 1989
