Delay Quote Of The Day

"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."

Of course it was 10 years ago but you have to agree it is ironic. Joe Conason has it all on Salon.com.
