Mordor By The Potomac Update

Lawmaker, Regulate Thyself | RealClearPolitics: ""Washington is an island surrounded by reality," Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, likes to say.

In an effort to inject some reality into the Beltway, Grassley introduced an amendment to the Affordable Care Act to require that members of Congress and their staff get their health care from the new Obamacare exchanges. "Congress should live under the laws it creates. That includes Obamacare," Grassley explained.

Enter Washington reality: The rules don't apply to the governing class."

I like Mike Church's "Mordor By The Potomac" description better than Grassley's. But Grassley at least gets it once in a while.
