Slay The Prideful Elephant

Regarding the Pennsylvania legislature's pay raise scam, this is what Republican House Speaker John Perzel of Philadelphia had to say:

"It's been a slow news month."

According to a CNN story last Wednesday, Perzel and other supporters of the law say legislators were underpaid, and that the raise merely brings their salaries in line with other top officials in the state.

Hmm, I seem to recall that Perzel involved himself in a controversial way regarding another issue a few weeks ago. Now what was it again?

Oh yes, I remember now (Leonard Pitts, Jr. of the Miami Herald had an excellent column about this).
