Rep. McDermott To Undergo Ethics Investigation
Hmmm"
I don't know anything about the situation from 1997, but if we're going to investigate McDermott for ethics how about asking him how ethical it is to scare the bejesus out of kids by telling them Bush is going to reinstate the draft while simultaneously backing draft legislation in congress?
I'd like to hear the jerk answer that one.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The House ethics committee will investigate Rep. Jim McDermott, D-Wash., to determine whether he violated standards of conduct when an illegally recorded telephone conversation was leaked to reporters during a committee investigation.
Committee Chairman Joel Hefley, R-Colo., and ranking Democrat Alan Mollohan of West Virginia formed a four-member investigative subcommittee Tuesday to investigate the 1997 incident. McDermott was ranking Democrat on the ethics committee at the time, and the panel was investigating the conduct of then-Speaker Newt Gingrich, R-Ga.
McDermott's chief of staff, Jan Shinpoch, said the congressman had been advised of the investigation but had not been asked for any information.
"We'll wait to hear from the committee," she said.
