More Honorable Democrats?

This morning's Detroit News brings word that some Detroit City Councilmembers are going to take a tough stand against the mayor following the text message scandal...

Last week, the city council decided to postpone a decision asking the mayor to resign. The mayor will give his state of the city address on Tuesday, and several council members said they will shun the mayor by refusing to sit behind him on stage in Orchestra Hall when he gives his speech.

Compare to another Democratic politician who got caught in a sex scandal, which led to perjury, and then to calls for his removal from office, and then him using the powers of his office to trash the reputations of innocent people caught up in the scandals of his making.

I don't recall the Democrats of the day standing up to the situation and shunning the bad boy. Maybe Detroit politicians are just that much more honorable.
