The U.S. House of Representatives have finally gone into action after months of ducking investigating Rep. Charles Rangel (D.-N.Y) for questionable financial dealings, Sen. Chris Dodd (D.-Conn) for alleged sweetheart mortgage deal, and Rep. John P. Murtha for taking illegal contributions.
The case that is taking their esteemed attention is for a speeding ticket that was given to Rep. Zach Space (D-Conn). The serious offense was that he drove 65 in a 50 mph traffic zone, and was given a warning for driving with an expired.
The House Ethics committee acted very quickly on this serious case while dragging its feet on the Murtha, Rangel and Dodd violations. Apparently this was to prove to the watching public that they actually do something beside contemplating their navels and hiding their heads between their legs when it comes to actual crimes committed by Democrats.
This may sound like it was an April Fools days joke, but instead, as usual, the House Ethics committee was just making fools of the American voting public.

Associating a Democrat with ethics is impossible. There are many dishonest Republicans and independents. But there are no honest Democratic politicians. Not one. There will no meaningful action against any Democrat by this totally corrupt Congress and the more dishonest the Democrat, the less likely the "ethics" committee will show any interest.
Zack Space is from Ohio, not Connecticut.
