| The silence is deafening as New Jersey's Congressional delegation awaits instructions from Washington on what to say or do next over the escalating page scandal. It should come as no surprise.
With Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert's announcement that he's sorry, but he won't resign, despite mounting evidence that he was complicit in a partisan coverup of Rep. Mark Foley's inappropriate advances toward teenage Congressional pages, the sad truth about NJ's "Shameful Six" has finally been laid bare: they are incapable of holding their own accountable for mistakes - no matter how grave.
Not upon learning their leaders ignored warnings in the summer of 2001.
Not when their administration utterly bungled its response to Katrina.
Not after a failed Iraq policy that is three years and almost three thousand American deaths (and so many more lives ruined) in the making.
And, not now.
They are the worst kind of apologists - all 6 voters for impeachment of President Clinton, mind you - without the courage to stand up against their own disgraced Republican leadership, or own up to their disgraced policies.
Not one deserves reelection. |
