In case you think too many Republicans are getting restive with Bush administration corruption and incompetence, there are still sycophants and lickspittles like Rep. Chris Cannon (R-UT) to carry on the honored tradition. Cannon is on the House Judiciary Committee and says about today’s Gonzales hearing “I hope he’s clear, direct and unapologetic. I’m really tired of innuendo and repeated use of the word corruption. If [Democrats] can’t produce tomorrow, the story ought to disappear.”

Then again, Cannon was the employer and key enabler of convicted Abramoff crook David Safavian. So I guess he’s not crazy about the word ‘corruption.’
