There WAS actually good news brewing in Washington regarding ethics. A permanent independent office was set up about two years ago to investigate ethical lapses in Congress. The Office of Congressional Ethics is supposed to help nurish the new ethical culture of Congress. But when the topic is ethics and there’s "good" news, you know you have to balance it out eventually with "bad" news.
That came in the decision Februray 26th by the House Ethics Committee to ignore the investigative findings and recommendations of the OCE. Seven House member up on serious ethics charges by the OCE were exonerated by their peers. Just. Like. That.
