Oversight

Republicans tend to like less oversight. Steve Benen has a story about what happened to the National Republican Congressional Committee when it decided to reduce the oversight to its own finances. Its a funny story.

Conservatives like to say a conservative is a liberal who got mugged. As Benen’s funny story shows, this may be another example where the Republican story-line is diametrically opposed to reality. Sometimes a liberal is a conservative who got fleeced.
