Tom DeLay on Congressional Ethics:
"The time has come that the American people know exactly what their Representatives are doing here in Washington. Are they feeding at the public trough, taking lobbyist-paid vacations, getting wined and dined by special interest groups? Or are they working hard to represent their constituents? The people, the American people, have a right to know ... I say the best disinfectant is full disclosure, not isolation."


Joe Conason, via David Sirota and kos. Originally appearing in the Congressional Record, 11/16/95 (.pdf file).

This is now.

On edit: It is really unusual to see Delay & ethics in the same sentence.

4. In their own words
Of course that only applies to Democrats, not to republicans. And certainly not to Tom DeLay who is "the government" as he has been quoted as claiming.

Great ass clown picture!
