We Couldn't Have Said it Better Ourselves

We love it when someone else says what we've been saying. Check out this Herald-Sun article from North Carolina (a paper apparently not as afraid to use a quote from someone who calls it like they see it rather than quoting Dave Obey's press release and taking it as gospel as so many papers do here in Wisconsin):

Yet some experts argue that the legislation created by Price and Reps. Barney Frank of Massachusetts, Tom Allen of Maine and David Obey of Wisconsin, who call themselves "The Gang of Four," is merely political posturing.

The bill "is not going to get anywhere near the floor [for debate]," said Ken Gross, an ethics lawyer at a Washington, D.C., firm. Gross said the Democrats knew this, and so they created overly strict provisions to politicize the issue.

That's right Mr. Gross. If Dave Obey thought this bill would pass, he wouldn't have offered it. He lives for the free trips and free meals and unlimited special interest and lobbyist campaign contributions.
