Most Ethical Congress...Ever!

The most ethical Congress ever commissioned a bipartisan ethics committee last year. It may be ready to hold its first meeting. They're fixing their agenda now. First up: the Credit Mobilier thing and then the Dreyfuss Affair. The fur is flying now!

I've gotta go find my waders.

Wait! They're about at the bottom of the Teapot Dome thing. They're so close.

Even though it conducts investigations separately from the House ethics committee, the new office is required to keep that panel informed when it initiates any probes, which it did before the spring recess began, according to one of the ethics panel’s members, G. K. Butterfield, D-N.C.

“The OCE has organized,” said Butterfield. “And from what we understand they are available to take citizen complaints.”

What are the odds that they'll actually act on a public complaint?
