   This is the major underlying problem with our government…. career politicians making decisions not based on what is in the best interest of our nation, but rather based on what is in the best interest of their own careers and bank accounts.

   But that’s Washington for you.

   Isn’t it a shame that we have resigned ourselves to looking at D.C. as “That’s Washington for you”? *sigh*

   And then, after being throw out of office, they become lobbyists themselves.

   A couple simple solutions:

   1. Term limits (I may have said that a time or 12 already).
   2. While serving in office, any investments should be moved to a blind trust.
   3. Those investments should remain in the blind trust for 6 years after leaving office.
   4. Term limits.
   5. Did I mention…?

    Didn’t take her long to join the “elite corrupt”. Now that she’s Speaker, she feels anything is okay, as long as it benefits her. Hey, Congress, how about a “censure bill”? Like asking the thieves to condemn the robbers.

    If any republican was even thought to be doing what reed or pelosi was doing, the dem’s would be demanding they resign in great haste, have hearings, get in front of the press every hour, and tell America how honest the congress is under the dems and the rep. are not to be trusted.

    Here’s a joke (off topic): Two hikers wake up to see a hungry brown bear approaching. One frantically starts putting on his shoes. The other says: “What’s the use, you can’t outrun the bear.” The first says: “I don’t have to outrun the bear. I only have to outrun you.”

    Cleanest, most ethical Congress in history?

    They don’t have to be the most ethical in history, only more ethical than the Republicans 2000 - 2006. That’s far easier. Look at the score of indicted congressmen and congresswomen since 2000. It’s one Democrat (Jefferson) to lots of Republicans.

    Is she gettin’ cozy with big pharma so that she gets continued botox injections at a discounted rate? Perhaps, she no longer needs ‘em because she seems “frozen” in time.

    Well, obviously, that Botox needs to be recalled. Just look how ineffective it was.

    Why, if it’s ethics and Dems let’s put up the old canard of the Republicans (who are no longer the majority party in Congress). ‘Cause, gee, lgm, that means you would be defending these Dems, and nobody but a Dim himself would know better.

    Oh, and have you resigned your position with the Troll Liberation Front, yet? Let us all know when you’re actually serious about discussing the ethics issues of both parties, okay… being that you’re bipartisan and all.

    I know she scares the hell out of me. This is probably why she’s leaning on big pharma. All their latest age-defying medications are being tested on her.

    There is a scary resemblance. I’d rather go for the older Count Dracula Bram Stoker’s version myself. Now, she does bear an alarming resemblance to the Emperor but to Jabba? I always felt that Jabba was misunderstood. It’s really hard to get a break when you’re a slug-like alien kingpin on a lawless planet. Poor Jabba….

    I wrote to Jim Ruttenberg of the NY Times, the lead write on the McCain slime piece, and asked him the following: When you are writing an article about how Barack Obama took healthy campaign contributions from the nuclear power industry and then did the bidding of the nuclear industry in the US Senate? I asked him when he was going to write an article about Chuck Schumer’s campaign contributions from the hedge fund industry and then introduced nice legislation for the hedge fund guys? I asked him when he was going to write an article about all of Chris Dodd’s contributions from the scecurities industry and Senator Dodd’s legislation that favored the securities industry? So far, he has not been willing to answer me. I think he is still trying to find some lipstick on a napkin in John McCain’s garbage cans.

    Show me a specific letter Obama wrote to a federal regulator threatening him if he did not do a specific favor for a specific client. That’s what McCain did.

    LGM I am not defending sinful GOP sinners but Nancy did say she was going to have the MOST ethical congress ever. Now I noticed she has not mentioned that word “ethical” either much lately. Maybe Nancy and her friends think ethics is like sin ,,, its all relative to who you are and what you think. You agree with that too LGM?

    Yes… there is that prune appearance that is represented within both of them. However, I think Jabba is more loveable (who wouldn’t want him for a dad). Now, SanFran Nan, ehhh, she’s like the mother who constantly nags you and lectures you about why you never call but always wants a kiss and a hug after the exercise.
