Mikulski: ‘Disease’ of hypocrisy rampant among ‘tribal morass’ of House GOP
By Josiah Ryan - 04/05/11 03:26 PM ET


Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.) threw the latest volley in a mudslinging contest between the House and Senate over spending-cut negotiations on Tuesday.

"I want to talk about a disease that seems to be rampant over in the House Republican caucus — and that is hypocrisy," said Mikulski.

"Hy-po-crisy," she said slowly emphasizing each syllable of the word.

"Now I am not going to do any name-calling," said Mikulski. "I am going to do fact-describing.”

Mikulski said the House should pass a bill that would prevent members of Congress from receiving their salaries in the case of a government shutdown.

"The fact that we couldn't stop a shutdown shows we are not essential, and it shows that we ought not to get paid," said Mikulski.
