When guys on Capitol Hill look like Beavis, Butthead


So there I was, banging on the defenseless little television beside my desk. So outrageous was the grotesque humor on the small screen that I thought the cleaning crew had flipped over to the Comedy Channel. But no, the dial didn't lie; it was exactly where I'd left it.

The ludicrous scene was live coverage of the U.S. House on C-SPAN. And it was not for the faint of heart. I certainly hope no impressionable children were watching.

The House Republicans' designated point man on lobbying "reform," Rep. David Dreier of California, was wending his way mendaciously through an opening statement.

Dreier said the bill he was trying to cudgel into consideration by the full House was "bipartisan." It is not.
