After Retreat, G.O.P. Changes House Ethics Rule Anyway

I can't believe this... have they no shame?

House Republicans crossed over to the wrong side of the ethical divide last November when they rewrote their own rules in a misguided effort to safeguard Rep. Tom DeLay.

DeLay was admonished twice by the House ethics committee in 2004 and is threatened by a grand jury investigation in his home state of Texas.

The idea of rewriting the House ethics rules for someone who's already under investigation for allegedly bending other rules is beyond the pale.
