Colbert Before Ethics!!
The American Spectator ^ | 10/6/10 | Quin Hillyer

Posted on 10/06/2010 11:36:37 AM PDT by MadisonReagan

At the Washington Times, we note an aspect of last week's Colbert brouhaha that has not gotten anywhere near the attention it deserves. The same congresswoman who invited Colbert is the one who, as chairman of the Ethics Committee, refuses to hold an ethics trial for Charlie Rangel and Maxine Waters.

Oh, yes, ethics..... Where is the establishment media in demanding that these trials go forward?......

Why is the Rangel trial being swept under the rug? Is it because he is a Democrat?

Everyone knows that only Republicans are expected to adhere to an ethical standard.... You silly goose.

Everyone also knows that only Democrats are expected to adhere to their chair when being hauled off the floor by the FBI.

Naivety is not a sin.
