Hyde Demands Senate 'Cleanse Office' nytimes.com

Among the Republicans, there was a certain fatalistic self-pity.

Hyde spoke bitterly of indignities he said he and his colleagues had endured, enumerating them as follows: "the media condemnations, the patronizing editorials, the hate mail, the insults hurled in public, the attempts at intimidation, the death threats and even the disapproval of our colleagues, which cuts the worst."


Poor Henry. Media condemnations? Patronizing editorials? Somebody ought to tell the beleaguered whiner about the WSJ editorial page. Insults hurled? I'm sure I'll get a few more here from the morally superior ad hominem ad nauseum crowd. Disapproval of colleagues? How strange that the Senate was not properly appreciative of the hot potato being tossed to them. Plus all the whining about witnesses, when old Henry couldn't be bothered with such trivialities in the House.

I suggest the Republicans feature Henry Hyde prominently in their political advertising for the next 21 months, proudly proclaiming "You're stupid, and we're not!". Just the ticket for the next election.
