"The house we hope to build is not for my generation but for yours. It is your future that matters. And I hope that when you are my age, you will be able to say as I have been able to say: We lived in freedom. We lived lives that were a statement, not an apology."

'Baghdad Jim' Comes Under Investigation

Rep. James McDermott, D-WA, is now under investigation by a four member sub-committee in the House of Representatives for allegedly leaking a taped phone conversation between two Republicans to the press. The phone conversation and the subsequent leaking dealt with the ethics investigation into than House Speaker Newt Gingrich in 1997.

This is just another blotch on the Seattle liberal's already shaky record. Mcdermott if you will remember, sparked public outrage when he criticized the United States during a trip to Baghdad a few years back, though this was undoubtedly applauded by many of his far-left, Seattle constituency. Mcdermott's conduct over the years has proven that he is simply a far-left hack, willing to do and say anything that makes not only Republicans look bad, but the United States as well.

UPDATE (2:00 p.m. Wednesday, December 29): Tom Bevan of RealClearPolitics provides further analysis on the character of Jim Mcdermott.
