Ethics switch gives GOP black eye

February 4, 2005

The House Republican leadership has done Rep. Doc Hastings, R-Wash., no favors........


" But the change has raised a stink. It was widely seen as a reprisal against Hefley because during his tenure the committee had admonished House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas, for his political shenanigans, and Hastert is desperate to protect DeLay. Certainly Hefley believes that is the case. And The Washington Post cited House leadership aides as saying outright that they needed to have the ethics committee controlled by lawmakers they can trust.".........

2. I've said this before, but it bears repeating...
It reminds me of those kids who always wanted to change rules in the middle of the game so they could win.

3. Ethical Republican is an oxymoron.
Bush Republicans are just plain morons.
