Nancy's House is So Ethical They Don't Even Need the Rule Book Anymore

I still remember the pledge from Nancy Pelosi that this would be the most ethical congress in history. Right.

She is proposing rules today that would cut minority party influence on bills drastically, keep bills from being debated entirely, and set up committee positions that will last for decades and be a secure foothold for lobbyist to step up and buy their influence for years to come.

If President Obama hopes to have the bi-partisan and transparent government he touted during the prolonged election period then I think he needs to sit down with congressional leadership and talk to them about the real message that they are sending.
