The top Democrat on the House ethics committee, Alan Mollohan, will leave the panel _ at least temporarily _ while he defends his own financial conduct, Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi said Friday.[...]I look forward to seeing this on the front page of the New York Times tomorrow and as well as the lead story on ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC... NOT!
The Wall Street Journal reported two weeks ago that Mollohan steered millions of dollars to nonprofit groups in his district _ with much of the money going to organizations run by people who contribute to the lawmaker's campaigns.
I said from the very beginning that it was a bad idea for the Democrats to pursue this "Culture of Corruption" strategy. When it comes to corruption in the House, it's a bipartisan issue. There's plenty to go around and it most certainly cuts across party lines.
