The Occasional Observer

The incoming House Democrat from MI, slated to become the new chair of the House Judiciary Committee, is just doing his part to help clean up the "culture of corruption" in Washington:

Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.) has "accepted responsibility" for possibly violating House rules by requiring his official staff to perform campaign-related work, according to a statement quietly released by the House ethics committee late Friday evening.

Seriously, the only thing worse than voters who pulled the lever for Democrats thinking they could "clean up Washington" are the members of the press who know how dirty these guys (Jefferson / Hillary / Reid / Dorgan / Kennedy / Dodd / Menendez / Hastings and now Conyers) are and only report on Republican "corruption."
