Delay: "Unethical"; Democrats: "Didn't Understand" Rules

When a Tom Delay trip overseas was paid by a lobbyist, the media jumped all over him for being "unethical." On the CBS Evening News Wednesday, Bob Schieffer asked:

"Gloria, this is going beyond Tom DeLay now, isn't it?"
Borger replied: "Yeah, I think this story is spreading all over Capitol Hill. You have an awful lot of Democrats now who are amending their ethics filings with the Ethics Committee because they're beginning to discover that these rules that say that lobbyists cannot pay for travel are something that perhaps they didn't understand. Tonight the Ethics Committee is opening up an investigation into Tom DeLay, and we'll have to see where that leads."

There is a big difference here, folks. Delay is evil. Democrats just didn't understand the rules.
