Irony Has a Name

and it's Tom Delay. Apparently he said the following in 1995:

"The time has come that the American people know exactly what their Representatives are doing here in Washington. Are they feeding at the public trough, taking lobbyist-paid vacations, getting wined and dined by special interest groups? Or are they working hard to represent their constituents? The people, the American people, have a right to know...I say the best disinfectant is full disclosure, not isolation."

It would be funny if it his tirade didn't align perfectly with every single ethics complaint currently being lodged against him. Instead, I just find the quote disturbing.
