LOWELL, Mass. --Members of U.S. Rep. Martin Meehan's staff have acknowledged they deleted unflattering information about a broken campaign promise from an online encyclopedia, according to a published report.

Of course it turns out that it goes a lot wider than this:

The good news is that it appears to be bipartisan:

For those keeping track a POV warning appeared on that article in under a minute and the whole lot was reverted after 18 minutes.

Politicians are politicians are politicians . . .

Of course the types of corruption and the degrees of corruption vary widely, but WHY do you keep having to bring up the war in Iraq? This Democrat CHANGED his biography on an encyclopedia, Clinton got a BJ in the sanctity of the Oval Office, but you don't see people constantly bringing THOSE issues up! ;)
