House of Reps to End DeLay Tactics

Today's San Francisco Chronicle ran this story about the House of Representatives rule reversal that will likely result in the investigation of alleged ethics violations by Republican Tom DeLay. The House voted overwhelmingly last night to return to its old ethics rules, with only 20 members dissenting.

I predict we can soon expect Republican attempts to tar Democrat lawmakers with the same brush, in true and predictable partisan fashion.

I will go on record here and proclaim that "I support separate but equal tarring under the law". Lawmakers can decide if they want to employ the same brush.
