Non-partisan doesn’t really mean non-partisan

Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Government (CREW) is a non-partisan organization—that just happens to be pro-Democrat. I say that for two reasons:

First, is the complete failure of CREW to say anything about the biggest ethical scandal in Washington, D.C., over the past couple weeks Sen. Claire McCaskill’s failure to pay approximately $300,000 in property taxes on an airplane her family owns. This follows McCaskill paying the U.S. Treasury $88,000 after she wrongly billed the government for travel on her own plane to purely political events.

Second, is the utter hypocrisy of CREW in calling for Karl Rove’s American Crossroads GPS to disclose its donors—while CREW refuses to reveal its own donors.

Glass houses, stones.
