Subject: BS: Cease Fire Over in Congress....
Well gol danged, it's about time... For the first time since 1997 an ethics complaint has been filed in the House of Representarives. Yup. lameduck Congressman Chris Bell (D-Tex.), a victum of Tom Delay's (R-Tex.) controversal redristricting in Texas, has put Delay in the hot seat for cronyism, money laundering, etc...
The Republican reaction: "You kill my dog, I'll kill your cat." (John T. Doolittle, R-Calif.).
Let the partisan fireworks begin. Wouldn't hurt my feelings if all the crook got exposed leaving the 30 or 40 honest ones to call the shots in the House...
Heck, I'll even volunteer to dust off the desk in the House Ethics Committee...
