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...

They may not be able to find either the desk OR the ethics.

Yer probably right, brucie, but it's a start... I just doesn't make sense fir a bunch of crooks to swear out a pack not to turn each other in...

No, I guess it makes a lot of sense, come to think of it...
