| #4 Deacon is on target with the Donks. They refuse to participate and want Delay convicted in the editorial pages and not the ethics committee. The Minority Whip admitted as much on a show this weekend. He said that they were stonewalling the committee because it could not be fair. What is more fair than 50/50 split on a committee? As for DiFi and her comments about changing the rules, I wonder how the Democrats would handle the situation? |

| #3 Actually, the Donks are blocking Ethics Committee hearings because one of their own (name eludes me) has been convicted of a crime. If there were an Ethics Committee hearing, the majority party would make HIS case -- and his expulsion -- the first order of business. This way the Donks get to make accusations against DeLay while covering for one of their own. Meanwhile, of course, our wonderful "independent" press goes along with them. |

| #2 I think it's noteworthy that through all of these allegations against Tom Delay the bloggers haven't been able to find anything Mr. Delay did that was illegal or unethical. Neither have the Democrats or the MSM. The Democrats on the Ethics Committee have refused to participate in a review of Mr. Delay saying there is no point because of the "stacked deck" of Republicans on the Committee. They want to stand back and throw mud but know there is no substance to the allegations so blame the Republicans when it is in fact themselves who are thwarting any review by the Ethics Committee. Looking at the world through dung colored glasses. |
