if it were possible for the public to be disgusted with excess and privilege, we would not have a reelection rate that would make castro jealous. sisyphus suffered less frustration than a perennial challenger in a congressional race.i HOPE this because of public indifference.

It is encouraging to see support for cleaning up the mess in DC, but the GOP needs to be honest with itself and admit that level of corruption under Bush/Delay makes anything that went on in the Clinton era look like the work of nickel & dime grifters.

The "everyone is doing it" line does not impress me. No doubt there is plenty of corruption amongst Democrats, but the GOP has taken it to a level this country has never seen.

The new leadership in the House of Representatives needs to be thoroughly and transparently free of the taint of the Jack Abramoff scandals, and beyond that, of undue influence of K Street.

I wholeheartedly agree. But you know, of course, that this criteria would leave only Democrats as candidates.

That's very nice, but what about all of the Republican Congresspeople who voted to lower the standards for ethics so Delay could remain Majority Leader? Where were all the cries for reform BEFORE the crimes hit the news? Everyone in Congress new about the KStreet project and the sleazy practices but no Republican objected until it hit the news.
