Gingrich revolutionaries turn into arrogant elite

Remember the 1994 "Contract with America" that swept Republicans into power in the House? Remember the corruption and cronyism that pervaded the that august body after decades of Democratic dominance? Remember the part in the Republican's campaign about "all laws that apply to the rest of the country also apply equally to the Congress."

What a difference 12 years make.

The Hastert-McCain Congress is now the complete inversion of what it's meant to be: They won't exercise their right to brave honest debate but they will claim the right for congressmen to keep evidence of crime and corruption in their offices without having to be bound by footling piffle like court-ordered search warrants.
