Tiahrt to Congress: Hire a lawyer




The Honorable Rep. Todd Tiahrt (R-Goddard) advised his fellow members of Congress to seek legal representation as the body passed a bill creating an independent panel to investigate alleged ethics violations committed by members of Congress.


His now infamous quote: "If you have a single ounce of self-preservation, you will vote no.”


Is it really all that far-fetched to think that members of Congress might not be the most qualified people to investigate...themselves?
How can you possibly be opposed to independent investigations if you (and/or your political allies) have nothing to hide?
Good thing we've got a great candidate running against him in Sen. Donald Betts. Maybe we can finally kick Tiahrt's crooked but to the curb.

jesus...this comes awfully close to admitting he knows he's done something illegal, doesn't it?

how dumb can this man be?
