Who has an ethics problem?
Tom Delay has been attacked in recent months over allegations of not adhering to House ethics rules involving some trips he took. Most of the attacks have been comments to the media and calls for him to step down. However, while going after him for his alleged missteps (like letting lobbyists pay for trips) the Dems resisted an actual investigation. Now I think we know why. There has been a flurry of congressmen from both parties refiling paperwork to clean up their own house.
If there is any issue or position where we see bi-partisanship it is the areas of ethical lapses and arrogance. Both houses of congress and both political parties are so full of a sense of self-importance that most of them don't believe rules apply to them.
