Other members of the Reagan administration have proven to be ethically retarded, but Michael Deaver has taken amorality to a new low; his gutless failure in facing up to charges of perjury may set a new standard for Republican ”excuses.”

Alcoholism and depression are no excuses for a public servant`s transgressions, but they are a tremendous reason for a public servant to resign, as one with any decency would have done. Deaver is all too typical of the brand of public service that has come out of Washington these past seven years-pay lip service to the public and pocket all the cash you can.
