McCain Disdains Coleman

McCarthyesque Senator Norm Coleman of MN calls for Annan's resignation before even concluding his own subcommittee's investigation. The worst part of the GOP have already convicted Annan, without even waiting for the Senate's investigation or the Volker Commission's findings.

This is one of those times when I miss Senator Wellstone the most and lament that such a silly hack has replaced him. Sadder still is that a compromised and opportunistic Sentator like McCain must substitute for any real voice of moral authority in the Senate.

Hardly. Only one blinded by partisan hackery would draw such a facile comparison.

I'm not in a position to officially pass judgement on Tom DeLay, as chairman of the committee investigating oil for food, Coleman is in a position to pass judgement on Annan. To prejudice that decision so blatantly is sickening.

One thing this strongly shows is the hypocrisy of the Right. Willing and able to make snap decisions about Annan, who has never been convicted of anything, nor has anyone near him. Unable to condemn DeLay whose protogés and underlings have been indicted and has multiple ethics violations himself. At some point, you stop getting the benefit of the doubt. We all know DeLay violated the spirit of the law and the long understanding of the limits of partisan politics in pushing redistricting before the 2010 census. He is a thug.
