State Democratic Party Chairman Dwight Pelz said Washington voters will not buy Republicans as reformers.
"They control Congress. They control the White House. They've made the decisions that led us into scandal," he said. "How can they claim they are going to reform themselves?"
Pelz also disagreed with Mehlman's argument that Cheney's hunting incident was a "private accident."
"When you shoot somebody, you give them medical attention and then you call the police," Pelz said. "He failed to do that, and it's special treatment for the vice president."
Pelz compared Cheney's actions in Texas to those of Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass., who has been criticized for swimming away from a 1969 car accident and leaving behind a young woman who drowned.
"Quail-gate is Cheney's Chappaquiddick," Pelz said. "He didn't swim across the bay. He got in his Hummer and drove back to the ranch."-from today's article in the Seattle Times.
