Can You Believe It?

Well, we figured the House Republicans would try and get some pay back for some House members daring to cross Tom Delay. If this is the best dirt the Republicans can get on the Democrats, the House Democrats are a lot cleaner than I would have ever guessed.

''The House ethics committee will investigate Rep. Jim McDermott, D-Wash., to determine whether he violated standards of conduct when an illegally recorded telephone conversation was leaked to reporters during a committee investigation.

Committee Chairman Joel Hefley, R-Colo., and ranking Democrat Alan Mollohan of West Virginia formed a four-member investigative subcommittee Tuesday to investigate the 1997 incident.'' From: Ethics Committee to Investigate McDermott.
