WASHINGTON, Jan. 12 /U.S. Newswire/ -- House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi today announced the formation of the "Clean House Team," a Democratic task force to address the Republican culture of corruption and lead the charge in restoring honor and dignity to the House of Representatives.
The members of the Clean House Team are:
-- Congressman James Clyburn of South Carolina, the newly and unanimously elected Chairman of the Democratic Caucus who has lived his life with a commitment to a high ethical standard, will head the Clean House Team;
-- Congressman David Obey of Wisconsin, the Senior Democrat of the House Appropriations Committee and author of reform proposals to fight the growing lobbyist influence on Congress;
-- Congressman Henry Waxman of California, the Senior Democrat on the Government Affairs Committee who has served as a long-time watchdog over Republican waste and abuse;

Wheres William Jefferson (D) LA. Surely he is on this commitee!
LOL! Any time I worry that the Republicans are in big trouble, she opens her mouth and suddenly we look great!
LOL! I initially worried that she was resigning as House Minority Leader to step aside for Steny Hoyer. Whew!
Ohhhhhh yeah. Jim Clyburn. The race pimp who managed to wangle FOUR MILLION DOLLARS in Federal taxpayer funds to build a pedestrian overpass across a four-lane highway...an overpass that's 1/4 mile down the road from a road overpass with sidewalks, an overpass that connects two housing projects, an overpass that isn't being used by the residents of said projects, AND an overpass that he named AFTER HIMSELF. Yeah. The guy who's trying to get $60 million to build a nine-mile bridge across a South Carolina swamp to connect two towns *that don't want the bridge*.
Yeah. That ethical guy from the racially-gerrymandered 140-mile-long Sixth District of South Carolina. That guy.

"House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi today announced the formation of the "Clean House Team," a Democratic task force to address the Republican culture of corruption"
What has she been smoking? This won't even pass the 'giggle' test.
Give the RNC a little time, and they'll publish a bunch of reasons why those four shouldn't sit in judgment over anyone else. Not to mention Stretch herself.
From the frump who would not impeach a perjurer....who lied about a woman....
Hey Nancy, have you give the $3,000.00 you got from Abramoff back yet?
Gee, sounds sort of like Martin Frost's old district. It was the most strangely shaped district.
The 'Rats can be about as impartial towards Republicans as the Nazis can be about Jews.
An all Democrat team would be called bipartisan, right?
What's that Nancy? I can't hear you over the hysterical laughter.
Shirley they'd want the strong ethical pillar of the Senate, Ted Kennedy to take the helm of this team.... Wouldn't they?
And how many of these pondscum are members of that oh-so-patriotic group "The Progressive Caucus"? Most of them I'd bet!
WOW! I really thought this was something from the 'The Onion'.
Not to worry ---- if this team is as "ethica" as Pelosi claims --- they will be too busy cleaning their own Democrat House to go looking for dirt in the Republican House...
Ethics......Hell - there are very few Democrats who have that value....
These people are pathetic, and a hazard to the Republic..
How in hell do they get elected?
F'em all.
