Delay said it soooo well!

"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." - U.S. Rep. Tom DeLay, 11/16/95

5. Exactly

Well, hell must have frozen over, because I'm agreeing with Delay on something.

I guess what he really means, is we should know what the Representatives in Washington are doing, except for him.
