Scoring points with hypocrisy

Yesterday's Herald-Leader contained this excellent editorial:

In his zeal to trash the Obama administration, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell is politicizing national security and taking aim at a surprising target: the FBI.

During a couple of television interviews last week, McConnell said that talk show host Larry King would have done a better job than the FBI of interrogating Umar Farouk Adbulmutallab, the Christmas bomber who tried to blow up a Detroit-bound airliner with explosives hidden in his underwear.

...McConnell has shown that he will stoop to politicizing anything, even national security, if he thinks he can score points against a rival.
