Pot, Kettle, Black

I’m surely not the only one that notices the irony in some recent whinings and moanings from some folks over at the Indiana Democratic Party’s mouthpiece blog and at a certain echo chamber.

Is the Guv right to suggest that the cost of a special election is worth trading away five months of representation in Congress?

While I understand the money argument, and am definitely sympathetic to those who are frustrated with how close the special election date will be to the May primary, I’m inclined to always default to the position that offers representation in the Congress over the one that doesn’t. Of course, I don’t live in the district so maybe my opinion doesn’t count.

Oh, would that they have been so concerned about the 7th District being represented in Congress by someone when the late Madame Carson was missing scores of votes and hiding her ill condition from her constituents, all so that her family could cash in on a death benefit.
