In a stunning blow to the Senatorial hopes of Rep. Shelley Berkley (D-NV), the House Ethics Committee today unanimously voted to open an investigative subcommittee into conflict of interest charges stemming from her alleged attempts to direct cash toward the kidney health care industry – and, in particular, toward her husband, who runs the Kidney Specialists of Southern Nevada. Breitbart News led the charge in demanding investigation into Berkley's activities.

CZJ > Ummm Ummm Good.

Having said that, Max Waters has been under investigation for three years. What the heck is the point if the Stupid party doesn't see these investigations through in a timely fashion.

My (admittedly uninformed) take on it is that the Ethics Committee urgently needed to be seen as going after a Caucasian member of Congress in order to deflect the disingenuous whining by CBC members over how many corrupt African American representatives have lately been on the receiving end of the Committee’s rectal examinations.

Too bad this isn’t one of the seats we need to take back.

Rothenberg has this seat as a Pure Toss Up. These developments could move it toward at least Lean GOP, making it a Hold. Since we’re probably going to lose ME, we need all the Holds we can get.

Unanimous? Ouch. She's got a problem.

If she drops out, do the Democrats get a "do over" since the Primary was held last month?

But we need to keep this seat. And Romney needs to win it too.

You gotta point there.

Wasserman-schultz is mentally handicapped which makes her a minority.

Elizabeth Warren is a black woman.

Yes - they’re all minorities. Maybe Berkley will be lynched....

“Reid, 71, and Berkley, 60, have known each other since 1968, when she was a high school senior and walked precincts for Reid’s state Assembly bid.”
