Don't Go Pointing Fingers

The Cullman Times carried this quote yesterday from John Ross, the Executive Director of the Alabama Republican Party. Referring to Don Siegelman's recent trial and Nancy Worley's upcoming trial, he said:

"I think it's sad that we've been in a position in this state where we've had elected officials that can't be trusted. They've done some things to benefit themselves while they have been in office."

I'm not sure why politicians on trial are the only examples of politicians who can't be trusted. However, I don't think the leadership of the Republican Party has any moral high ground to go pointing at only Democrats.

 

If you remember your Alabama history, Guy Hunt was a long-time Republican - he was Republican when it wasn't cool - who was booted from office due to his felony ethics conviction.

 

I remember being told as a kid, "When you point your finger, you got three more pointing back at you."
