Democrats on Reform

Today, Democrats released their proposals for lobbying reform, in the wake of the Jack Abramoff scandal that has touched many Republican congressmen so far, including our friend Tom DeLay. The highlights can be found here.

Yesterday, the Republicans released their own proposals. Senator Harry Reid, Senate Minority leader, said, "The idea of Republicans reforming themselves is like asking John Gotti to clean up organized crime." He's had a lot of hard-hitting quotes recently, and it looks like he's coming into his own as the Democrat's voice in the Senate.
