NANCY'S DIRTY HOUSE
RED STATE ^
Posted on 01/22/2007 4:36:30 PM PST by Weight of Glory
House Democrats, in a brazen attempt to defend the Culture of Corruption, are set to alter House Ethics Rules in a way openly supportive of Democrats who might be found guilty by courts of law of corruption or bribery related to the passage of legislation.
Under present rules, if a Member of Congress is found guilty of a crime related to the passage of legislation, the member would have his pension cut off dated from the date of the legislation's passage -- even if it took a few years to find him guilty.
The Democrats, via H. R. 476, the Member Pension Bill, which they intend to push through tonight, will seek to change this. Under their proposal, if a bill is signed by President Bush, and then a Member of Congress is found guilt of a crime related to the passage of legislation between the President's signature and January 2, 2009, the member would receive their FULL Congressional pension.

Goodnight, Peach.
These after hours speeches by the GOP is about the ONLY time they get to put forth their ideas anymore.

Watch Harry Reid trying to make sincere mouth messages, drawing up his lips at the terrible obstructionism of his Republican opponents. It's spellbinding, at the same time he tries to actually enunciate words that he doesn't do well with, which is most of them... I love when he tries to be stern and raise his voice
What a brute he can be .. FOFL
My other favorite was the panic he went into when he couldn't get his ethics bill passed at first

My other favorite was the panic he went into when he couldn't get his ethics bill passed at firstEven going so far as to suggest that the House bill was dumb. It's a bit of human drama I won't soon forget. Harry Reid, the anti-man, or maybe it's the un-man.
