"Lee declined comment through a spokesman."

I wonder why? ;-)

[BipolarBob]

They just want to “keep it real”.

Stung by a series of inquiries, nearly half the members of the Congressional Black Caucus want to scale back the aggressive ethics procedures that Democrats trumpeted after gaining control of Congress.

Most ethical Congress in history?

Nancy Pelosi should step down in SHAME.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Ethics can be a real pain in the ass to corrupt politicians. The District of Corruption is more corrupt now than during any other time in history.

[jazusamo]

The CBC has it all figured out, gut the OCE and the Dems won’t have to worry about ethics violations. Pathetic!

[Prospero]

Popinjays - or better, perhaps, a shameful minstrel show, performed by a group best named after the Chamber where they serve. (”House.”)

[Ben Mugged]

Isn’t Congressional Black Caucus an oxymoron in the politically correct sense?

[anniegetyourgun]

A case of wanting to speak power to truth.

[traderrob6]

C’mon folks, it’s just another facet of affirmative action.

[WOBBLY BOB]

Someone needs to post that picture of Rangel looking like a beached whale.

[ilovesarah2012]

We don’t need no stinkin’ ethics office!

[Enten]

Stupid move by the Black Caucus....reinforces common perception that blacks once again support lower standards, but now for ethics. If the measure has merit, let some other entity propose it....

[maddog55]

Black caucus Chairwoman Barbara Lee, D-Calif., is among the sponsors, but the full 42-member caucus did not endorse the measure.

Guess that means she has some ethic problems and needs them to go away...

They could take care of the problem if they would quit acting unethically. It’s real easy!

Stung by a series of inquiries, nearly half the members of the Congressional Black Caucus want to scale back the aggressive ethics procedures that Democrats trumpeted after gaining control of Congress.

With the precedent set by our new "president," why shouldn't the criminal class candidly flex their muscle?

They might as well paint a target of themselves, or they might claim racism and argue that in corruption and criminal acts blacks are disproportionately represented.

I can hardly wait for that one!

“Black lawmakers push to cut back new ethics office”

I’f post something but I’d be accused of racism.

[Onelifetogive]

Congress. Rep. Marcia Fudge, D-Ohio

Paging the "That's Racist" kid. You are needed on this thread, stat!

[Venturer]

Black Congressional caucus. The klan with a tan.

Racist bigots,Crooks and thieves posing as politicians.

Being black and in the Congressional Black Caucus is a license to steal.

[dennisw]

It’s all about the Benjamin’s and keeping the law outta my business! Most transparent administration ever!
