C.Y.A. Extreme

From Barney Frank's recent floor speech (thanks Talking Points Memo):

...What we now have is a Congressional leadership, the Republican part of which has said it is okay for law enforcement to engage in warrantless searches of the average citizen, now objecting when a search, pursuant to a validly issued warrant, is conducted of a Member of Congress...

What's fun about this whole situation is that Republicans are defending a corrupt Democrat, all in a futile attempt to stop future investigations of overwhelming Republican corruption in 2007.
