The House of Representatives has passed legislation to tighten rules on gifts and trips from lobbyists. The fact that they have to put into writing that receiving such gratuities is unethical is humorous in a sad sense, but at least it's an effort to give an appearance of integrity.
However, what is most interesting is that the man originally endorsed by Nancy Pelosi for House majority leader voted against the legislation. I'm talking about that bought and paid for old windbag, John Murtha, Democrat from Pennsylvania. Anything that might enforce ethical behavior would surely cramp Murtha's style.
“We have kept our promise to drain the swamp that is Washington, D.C.,” Speaker Nancy Pelosi said. And what did you find, Nancy? Why that old bottom feeding scum sucker, the bloated Murtha fish.
