"The House members and their staff are paid salaries, not by the hour."

How will this benefit the United States? What will we gain from it? If we take back a month's salary from everyone of these idiots and tell them to spend that month at home working on their lawns, how much can we reduce taxes?

This is the political effect of goofing off on the job. I'm sick of it. If there isn't pressing national business to attend to, they can just stay home and play these political games on their own dime and quit taking mine.

Seven years, schmeven years....who cares?

I love this whole scenario as it will put the House Ethics Committee into a hysterical tizzy trying to find a loophole in the rules so their bud can get off.

So what if he's already been found guilty in a court of law. The Law and ethics are two wholly different things, doncha know?

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.

Well, it's about damn time!

"Why not just wait and do the investigation posthumiously?"

I agree that this has taken way too long-he must've crapped in somebody's messkit to start this so late.

McDermott has put out an urgent fundraising letter that has been linked on DU. Too bad they threw what they had down a rathole on phony ballot issues. They're tapped.

Daddy, how long does it take for a set of testicles to grow?

7 years if you're in Congress, Son.

Sean Penn did go to plead for the pro-terrorist Left, but it was former House Minority whip David Bonior (D-MI) that went with fellow traitor McDermott in '02.

Here's a link to FrontPageMag...Baghdad Bonior.

McDermott was ranking Democrat on the ethics committee at the time,

Which is all you need to know about DemoRats.

while the committee is at it, why don't they investigate possible connections between McDermott and the obvious election fraud committed in King County to snatch the governorship from duly elected Republican Dino Rossi. McDermott's constituents are exactly the sorts who vote twice or thrice under names of all their multiple personalities.

Yep. Unfortunately, we have bought ourselves a pig in a poke.

Baghdad Jim is not my rep, thank goodness, if I thought this would in any way, shape or form get him out of the house, I might be more excited, but seven years after the fact it will be a tempest in a teapot.

He's worthless, but the people in his district (7th) don't get it, and will keep voting him in.

Just for info to show what a butthead he really is.

May 1, 2004 Rep. Jim McDermott Assailed for Omitting God from Pledge of Allegiance

On April 27, Representative Jim McDermott, Democrat from Seattle, was given an assignment by Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's office: Open the House session with the obligatory recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance, a task that rotates among House members.

When McDermott delivered the pledge, he omitted saying the words "Under God," and that created an uproar.

Representative Pete Sessions, Republican of Texas, blamed McDermott for "embarrassing the House and disparaging the majority of Americans who share the values expressed in the pledge," ....more here

IMO, the house ethics committee has a different definition of ethics than I do; it probably will come to naught.

...and having McDimwit spend a couple of years (hopefully) in court would only be good for the country. I heard this wacko say on a local liberal radio talk show that the Rs were responsible for the Bin Laden tape that aired just before the election. In his puny, perverted mind they did this so the Democrats would be scared to come out of their houses on election day, thus assuring a Bush win.

Note to Jim: Why would only the Democrats be scared? Oh, because Democrats are whiners and wimps and girlie men. Which is apparently why Democrat "men" now have two women Senators and one woman governor in Washington State. They now have three additional "mommies" to take care of them!

Do you think we'll wait 7 years for Sandy Berger's lapse of memory?

you say you could be wrong, but you doubt it.

I don' think you are wrong, I think you are right on the button. I think there should be term limits on senators and congressmen (oops congresspersons) like two-three year terms. Just to be different lets get with an odd number. Then they can no longer control the country. After a few years, they all become egomaniacs, clowns and a danger to the country.Think of the money we would save on their "retirement"!
