Best Joke of The Day Award: House Republicans Unveil New Ethics Plan

WASHINGTON - House Republicans moved to seize the initiative for ethics reform Tuesday with a comprehensive package of changes, including the banning of privately sponsored travel like that arranged by convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff.

The scandal already has produced casualties. Rep. Bob Ney, an Ohio Republican implicated in the Abramoff investigation, said Sunday he will step aside temporarily as chairman of the House Administration Committee. That panel controls internal House operations.

Former Majority Leader Tom DeLay, who had ties to Abramoff and faces a Texas felony trial on campaign finance charges, earlier announced he would not try to regain his post.


HAHAHAHAHA......Yeh, Right
