Congress Sets an Example for the World

This is a Congress that deserves to go down this November. The Agonist has the story:

Faced with a crises of confidence in their ability to establish an ethical climate in Washington that everyday citizens can look to with pride, and acting with the kind of boldness and raw courage that we have come to expect from the "Do Less Than Nothing Congress," the august body yesterday passed the "Lobbying Accountability and Transparency Act" which will accomplish ...... Nothing.

The Republican friends of Duke Cunningham and Jack Abramoff are alive and well in the current Congress. These Republicans are scared to death to write meaningful ethics reform legislation for the simple reason they're scared to death somebody might apply the laws to them.
