Default GOP solicited bribes from energy company

Westar let executives' families use company aircraft for free

Judge refuses to dismiss criminal charges against former Westar CEO

This is beautiful. If they can prove that Delay, Tauzin and Shelby all are guilty of ethics violations we could see a tremendous power shift in the House and in the country. Outside of Bush there is no other man I would like to see disgraced than Tom Delay.

I'd really like to see something come of it but I don't think there's a party even Byrd that'll make anything of it without and TV Media it's unlikely the general public's going to pitch a bitch. Jeeze nobody even mention's the many Bush family ties to organized crime.

Odd, how the GOP did its best to skewer Clinton over morally questionable practices involving tobacco products (we won't even get into the Republican's support for the tobacco industry), and yet they continually downplay or ignore turly unethical behavior. It seems that as long as the issue is corporate crime and influence rather than a question of "character," then it won't have much of an impact.
