Maryland’s Democratic Gov. Martin O’Malley has mounted his trusty steed to sally forth and carry the banner of shamelessness once again. And people wonder why I call him Martin O’Shameless.

Years ago, when he was mayor of Baltimore, city schools ran up a deficit of at least $58 million. O’Malley pretty much admitted that he repeatedly asked the school superintendent questions designed to get to the bottom of the deficit, but got no answers.
