Oh, gosh, I thought you would bring up Alcee Hastings.

That's a good point---as an impeached Federal Judge, Hastings certainly fits the profile of ethically challenged members of the Democrat left in the House and Senate---who are rewarded for their dishonesty by being continually re-elected.  If you are in tight with the Democrat heirarchy, you can kill (T. Kennedy), molest women and be accused of rape (B. Clinton), troll for big bribes (J. Murtha), or just fail to pay your taxes for years while in a position to influence tax law (C. Rangel).  Don't try any of that at home though---or if you are a newly elected Republican in the House and Senate.

I guess I know you ever so slightly less well than I thought I did.

Leave off the "ever so slightly" and you have it about right.





And then there is soliciting for sexual favors, Craig (R-ID) or money laundering, DeLay (R-TX), I could go on, but it would just be one upsmanship.

Well no--- more like trying to spread more of the same stuff intended by this thread in the first place.

Trying to infer moral superiority over the opposition is laughable.

True enough, it's just that Democrats seem to prosper as a result of ethical lapses---and have the full protection of the Kerry/Kennedy/Obama "Media Protection Package" that buries the "inconvenient truth" on back pages if it is covered at all.  Republicans are expected to retire, resign or other wise fall on their swords for ethical lapses.

Since both sides of the aisle have done their fair share of law breaking, your partisan diatribe on the dishonesty of democrats, is hollow.

Well, there was nothing "hollow" about referencing Democrat crooks, sexual molesters, tax cheats, or those guilty of manslaughter who seemed to have profited greatly in a political sense from their dishonesty and/or lack of personal ethics.
