Republican Ethics Refresher Courses?More Like "Remedial Ethics Courses" or "Intro To Ethics"

How hard did you laugh when the Republican-controlled White House staff held its infamous "Ethics Refresher Course" a few short weeks ago?

I nearly busted a gut.

Now, the Republican US Speaker of the House, Denny (former high school wrestling coach) Hastert, suggests the same for the Republican-controlled US House of Representaives.

Obviously, to Republicans, "ethically challenged" and/or "ethically-deficient" is preferable to "corrupt."

Google "Republican ethics," and you'll find 5, 770,000 links.

Did Republicans pay for polling data that supports refresher courses for their corrupt members of congress?

Obviously. Otherwise, Hastert's Hatefuls would just continue to deny any ethics charges-- like Republicans Tom DeLay, Duke Cunningham, and the many other ethically-challenged national, state and local Republican sleaze buckets currently either under indictment or under investigation.

Here's a refreshing idea, Denny...

Require your Republican House members to read the damned ETHICS MANUAL FOR MEMBERS, OFFICERS, AND EMPLOYEES OF THE U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

The same goes for your ethically-deficient Republican US Senators.

Then like good little NCLB Republicans, test the BeJesus out of yourselves and publish the damned scores.

Truly heavy sigh.
