This is what upsets me about Hastert. The first tenent of the Contract With America was that congress should abide by the same laws the rest of us have to follow. I guess it's easy to forget that.....

Late response but here goes. They feel that they are above the Law, and they think they are celebrities and should be treated differently. It happens to most all People of any renown, they start to believe their own Press releases, and Publicity soundbites. Athletes are even worse than Congress IMHO, but they do not have the Educational Background and they get hit in the head a lot more than congress critters. standards have changed and that is the paramount problem. what good is the ethics committee when the Dems do not even have to have the same rules as Pubbies, and it is a Mexican(sorry about that) standoff on the committee because of Partisan bickering. Who in the Hell is in charge of this mess anymore. If I were a Teacher and grading Congress it would be a C at best for most of them. I would grade their ethics at a big fat F for Dems and a C- for Pubbies.
