Corruption Bores the Corrupt

The Post brings us word that Rep. John Doolittle (R-CA), lobbyist shill extraordinaire, is bored to tears about all this corruption hullabaloo:

Doolittle declared that voters have little or no interest in ethics legislation.

"Do I think they care about it? No, I don't," Doolittle told a reporter. Doolittle said that during the April 7-23 recess, he did not hear "anything about Jack Abramoff," the central figure in a lobbying scandal.

Indeed, this seems to constitute a broad Republican strategy of willful disinterest. Nevermind that voters actually do care about corruption. Perhaps if they're told enough times that they don't, they'll start to believe it.
