... with ME."

Aside from an indictment of his ethics and integrity... it's also an indictment of his own political skills. What kind of an idiot appoints an ethics panel which follows the trail directly to the door of the idiot who appointed it?

Not ready for prime time, Andrew. And at this point it's unlikely you ever will be.
