Pelosi A Hypocrite For Ethics Stance

The Washington Times reports,

House Republicans called Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi a hypocrite yesterday for not demanding investigations into new ethics questions that have arisen about the travel of her fellow Democrats.

"She demanded an investigation into [Majority Leader] Tom DeLay, but hasn't said a word about these Democrats who have done the same thing," said Rep. Patrick T. McHenry, North Carolina Republican. "If she doesn't call for investigations into her fellow Democrats, then it's clear she's being a hypocrite."

Republicans are wondering why the California representative won't ask for investigations into Democratic Reps. Norm Dicks of Washington, Bennie Thompson of Mississippi, James E. Clyburn of South Carolina and Neil Abercrombie of Hawaii, all of whom face questions about accepting travel paid for by lobbyists.

The Democrats have also block an investigation Jim McDermott, who actually did something illegal. We should expect nothing less from the Democrats, hypocrisy seems to be part of their platform.

This is what you get from a Party that treats the TRUTH, the LAW and the CONSTITUTION as parts of an overall strategy instead of moral and/or legal absolutes.
