Wow! Worse than Anyone Knew

Turns out that the ethical democrat Jack Murtha spread around over $50,000 to a number of freshman democratic congressmen to ensure he would not be called on the carpet for his bullying behavior in breaking the House rules. The full story is here.

U.S. Rep. Jack Murtha gave nearly $50,000 to 19 House freshmen who abandoned a week-old pledge to toughen House ethics rules by voting against a reprimand of Murtha for reportedly violating those rules.

Despite last week’s media blitz promoting tougher ethics enforcement, a group of freshmen Congressmen failed their first practical test Tuesday night, when they refused to reprimand one of their colleagues for an apparent ethics violation.

The stench of Murtha is overpowering the ethics promises that many of these freshmen were elected on. Where is Pelosi? For being Speaker of the House she has certainly shown that she knows how to lead. She has lost control of her buddies in the House.
