I would have joined surge supporters in voting against the House supplemental appropriations bill because of the constraints it seeks to impose on whatever ability we may have to get to acceptable conditions in Iraq, especially the arbitrary imposition of a withdrawal timetable regardless of military needs.

When I moved to Washington 21 years ago and decided to live in the District rather than Maryland or Virginia, I knew I was voluntarily choosing to forgo something most Americans take entirely for granted, namely, their say in choosing a representative in the House and two members of the Senate. In truth, I was not especially bothered by this lost opportunity for political participation then, nor am I now.

It’s hypocrisy season in Washington. No, not that there’s an unusually great amount of posturing and flagrant contradiction of previously stated principles that are no longer politically expedient. The amount of that in Washington is consistently high. I mean that allegations of hypocrisy are in the air, thanks to the guilty verdicts in the Scooter Libby trial.
