Do you suppose Fred Hiatt and the WaPo are seeing the light?

i dunno... i sure hope so... this op-ed certainly doesn't fall into the category of sucking-up...

Remember when President Bush promised to restore honor and integrity to the Oval Office? He doesn't either, it would seem. A report by the House Government Reform Committee, based on three years of e-mails and billing records from disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff's former law firm, detailed how Mr. Abramoff and his team billed clients for hundreds of contacts with White House officials and dispensed coveted tickets to sporting events and concerts to favored officials, including adviser Karl Rove and Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman, then the White House political director.

[...]

You might think a White House worried about honor and integrity would want to look more closely at Mr. Abramoff's dealings.

[...]

Not this White House, which has been resolutely incurious about Mr. Abramoff's activities and equally unwilling to provide information about it -- making it impossible to know how many of the reported contacts are classic Abramoff puffery and how many real.

[...]

A White House even a little concerned about honor and integrity might have managed to summon up a tiny hint of criticism -- not to mention a promise to make sure its employees behave in a way that befits the term public servant. A White House with nothing to hide would release information about Mr. Abramhoff's his meetings and contacts with its officials.

honor...? integrity...? LOLOLOLOL... you GOTTA be kidding...! no friggin' way... i defy anyone to name a time this white house has been concerned with honor and integrity...
