It's getting so bad that even the New York Times' Maureen Dowd has noticed:
It took Daschle's resignation to shake the president out of his arrogant attitude that his charmed circle doesn’t have to abide by the lofty standards he lectured the rest of us about for two years.
Before he recanted, his hand forced by a cascade of appointees who "forgot" to pay taxes, his reasoning was creeping perilously close to that of the outgoing leaders he denounced in his Inaugural Address: that elitist mentality of "we know best," we know we're doing the "right" thing for the country, so we can twist the rules.
