What's most amazing to me about this fiasco is that her constituents
are, in all likelihood, going to brush this ethical lapse aside and reelect her for another term, which says almost as much about their ethics as hers.
The hypocrisy here is getting so deep I need waders.
If every citizen decided their voting by strict ethical behavior, Tim Pawlenty would be a underemployed lawyer, Carol Molnau would be a farmer, Phil Krinkie would be a crotchety AC installer, Pat Anderson would be unemployed, Steve Sviggum would be coaching high school basketball, Rich Stanek would be in jail or unemployed, Vicki Tigwell(nee Grunseth) would be an executive at a defunct company in bankruptcy court and Mary Kiffmeyer would be holding bake sales to raise money for the Republican party.
The whole lot of them together have less ethics than I have in my little finger.
It does not excuse whatever Kahn may have done -- recall we don't know and there are only vague allegations -- but the hubris of the "pot" Republicans calling the "kettle" black is vulgar and rash.
