Wednesday Morning Laugh

The New York Times has an article up this morning with the headline Democrats Find Ethics Overhaul Elusive in House.

The piece explains that the Dems were unable to keep one of their campaign “promises” regarding lobbying, and are in a tight spot in trying to keep another of their campaign “promises.” Is anyone actually surprised by this?

But the real laugh, in this piece of reporting, is uttered by Representative Michael E. Capuano, a Massachusetts Democrat.

“I made a career change 20 years ago to be a full-time elected official,” Mr. Capuano said, explaining his position. “I am no longer qualified to be a tax attorney. It is like saying to people, ‘Please, come into public service, give it your all, and when you are done you are completely unqualified for anything else.’ ”

The laments of a professional jobholder, who is undoubtedly “unqualified for anything else.”
