The Oregonian compared local Congressman Peter DeFazio to Bart Simpson in a front page article today:

“In the mold of that other Springfield celebrity, Bart Simpson, DeFazio is an equal opportunity provocateur. He is notorious for coloring outside the lines of the Democratic Party….”

Huh? DeFazio is clearly less yellow and has less hair than Bart.

He may also be less progressive than advertised. The Oregonian notes DeFazio’s good grades from the NRA and reports:

“He is a Democrat and calls himself a progressive, but he votes liberal 61.5 percent of the time, the lowest of the four Democrats in the [Oregon] delegation.”

Or maybe DeFazio did this O piece to reposition himself rightward so he can run for a statewide race? Does he share Homer’s views on nuclear power?
