What an honor!!! We need more great Americans like that! I'll bet he even tolerates Ohio Republicans.

You know, it occurs to me that the very fact that these ethics investigations are happening is an indication of Speaker Pelosi's seriousness about fulfilling her pledge.
Do you want me to list all the Republican crooks that the Republicans protected? All the Abramoff cronies? David Vitter? Ted Stevens?
You know?

If they're guilty they're guilty. I just wish the corporate media would give a little more attention to the GOP senator, John Ensign, who is undergoing an ethics investigation, as well as a grand jury investigation, for soliciting lobbying jobs for two married former staff members, after he ended a nine month affair with the wife.
BTW way, John, that is right, the Democrats were in charge of the house when the ethics committee investigated violations by two Democrats. Can you imagine the stink that would be made if the Democratic house had issued charges only against two Republicans.
And don't forget that new leading spokesman for the GOP, Newt Gingrich, who resigned as speaker and ultimately as a congressman while he was being investigated for ethics violations. Seems he had a little trouble keeping his pants up too.
Regards,
D-Ray

I don't know whether you fellows have read about the recent story about Newt in Esquire. Not a particularly flattering picture of the philandering narcissist.

Or Ensign?
But that's contrary to the democratic (small d) process. The accused have the right to a hearing at which they can defend themselves, and the voters in the accused's district have the right to vote whether he should remain their representative.
