I think Novak's point is that the GW GOP is supposedly following a higher ethical standard than the Dems, but in fact they seem to be stretching the boundaries of ethics to a new breaking point with this latest appointment: "How is it that giving a registered lobbyist total access to the highest level of government did not seem an apparent conflict of interest for the Bush White House? Arrogance, ignorance, or both? That question could have been finessed if Bracewell & Patterson gave Racicot a handsome bonus to tide him over while he suffered through a year or two at $150,000. Instead, the president's advisers are betting their new ethical boundaries soon will be accepted in Washington." Anyway, if you are correct and Novak is wrong about this, it would simply keep his record of inane observations intact.
