Who died and made AZ Rep Flake God?
Flake on CSPAN this morning with Brian Lamb. What a sanctimonious creep. He somehow has placed himself (or thinks he has) above all the other Republican criminals.

A caller wanted to know why he wouldn't help promote alternative energy sources that could be provided by AZ, and Flake blew it off and said that the "free market" would take care of it.

He has the worst smirky grin - and I truly hope someone comes along to take it off his face.

1. Flake has been promoting ethics reform for a long time
by himself.

Now, all of a sudden, the Repukes that are linked to Abramoff are pushing him out in front as their "spokesperson" for reform.

3. A long time?
Let me guess, ever since it became clear that Tom Delay was going to go down. The guy's another lackey, he and Gordon Smith are cut from the same "goodie-two-shoes" cloth and Republican to their rotten core.

2. And then turned right around
And later said that perhaps taxpayers and people with business interests should get a lobbyist because there's an awful lot of money in Washington. Did you catch that? It was several calls later, but it was so hypocritical. He blows off his own constituent, sets himself up as the great reformer, then turns around and advocates lobbyists to go after the money.

BTW, that taxpayer guy that was on before him, there's a campaign fund connected to his group and all their contributions were to Republicans, including Flake.

I see why people call it right wing Friday, it was pugalicious.
