When a GOP Congressman is scum.

God knows what a worthless waste of space we have representing us in DC now.  But as bad as she is (and she is, in fact, awful) she doesn't come close to THIS lying little slimeball.
Chris Gibson, GOP Congressman, Cites New District To Drop Grover Norquist Pledge

Rep. Chris Gibson (R-N.Y.) made an interesting attempt to free himself from the anti-taxation bonds of Grover Norquist's pledge this week, announcing that his recent reelection to a redistricted swath of Hudson Valley effectively cleared the slate.

Gibson had signed the "no new taxes" pledge coordinated by Norquist's Americans for Tax Reform group when he was elected to represent New York’s 20th Congressional District in 2010. But following a U.S. Census-mandated redrawing of district boundaries, he won reelection in November in the 19th District. In a statement, Gibson argued that his new borders allowed him to reconsider the conditions of the pledge.
More, if you can stomach it.

Really?  Then why didn't the lying little weasel campaign on that?

Scumbag.
