Another Day, Another Republican Indicted

This time, it is Congressman Rick Renzi, of Arizona, who has been charged with 26 or 35 counts of fraud, corruption, extortion, money laundering, and various and sundry other offenses, depending as to which story you read. The charges go all the way back to his initial campaign for Congress seven years ago, which allegedly was funded by embezzled funds.

No surprise that the first words out of the mouths of the Rethug leadership was for Renzi to consider resigning now.

The story in the Baltimore Sun contained this corker from Rep. John Boehner: “I have made it clear that I will hold our Members to the highest standards of ethical conduct.” Riight. When Tom DeLay was running his thuggish operation, just where the fuck were you? Aren't you the guy who used to hand out checks from the tobacco lobby to your fellow congressmen, and you did that on the floor of the House? Aren't you the guy who knew that Mark Foley was having fun with the House pages, but did nothing?

"Highest ethical standards," oh, my ass.
