Amid the growing list of Democratic ethics scandals, news stories from the so-called liberal media and even from generally acknowledged unbiased sources like
The Associated Press are beginning to sound like GOP opinion pieces.
"The party that pledged to 'drain the swamp' if given control of Congress finds itself sinking in the muck nine months from Election Day," AP says.
The ethics cases are opening the party to the same criticism House Democrats used to wrest the chamber from Republican control,
The New York Times says.
And, in fact, House Republican Leader John Boehner, Ohio, said on Thursday: “Speaker Pelosi famously promised the most open, honest and ethical Congress in history. Yet here we go again."
Pelosi, D-Calif., told reporters on Thursday, "I think we've come a long way since I became speaker with the outside
ethics groups and now we have a functioning ethics committee,
bipartisan and independent of the speaker."
