Libertarian Librarian

He was the Jourtinel columnist that was starting a blog to combat rampant partisanship in the blogosphere, remember? I'd have to say he's off to a rough start with that, since one of his recent posts ascribes all the fallout of the Abramoff scandal as being a "Republican scandal, stupid." No acknowledgement that this was just the tip of the iceburg in terms of pork and corruption. No harsh words for any of the Democrats involved, nor for the congressional members unwilling to give back their Abramoff money, many of whom are high ranking Democrats.

It's not a "Republican scandal, stupid," Eugene, it's business as usual in our nation's capitol, and if it benefited Republicans more than Democrats it's because Republicans are currently the majority. It's a 'national disgrace, stupid' would be a more apt label, and if you want to highlight that Abramoff was tighter with the Republicans than the Democrats feel free-- but to claim it as just a Republican scandal would seem... what's the word... oh yes

Partisan.
