Pretty bad when a Murdoch company is now going after the right’s golden child: An informal adviser who has counseled Gov. Sarah Palin on ethics issues urged her in July to apologize for her handling of the dismissal of the state’s public safety commissioner and warned that the matter could snowball into a bigger scandal. […]
Part of the McCain statement on Palin had me scratching my head: In Alaska, Governor Palin challenged a corrupt system and passed a landmark ethics reform bill. She has actually used her veto and cut budgetary spending. She put a stop to the “bridge to nowhere” that would have cost taxpayers $400 million dollars. (emphasis […]
(h/t Paddy for the graphic) Here is some of the news about Palin popping up: McCain’s VP Choice Is Under Ethics Investigation For Abuse Of Power In Alaska Alaska Gov. And Longshot McCain VP Praises Obama’s Energy Plan As people get digging, I am sure we will have much more in the way of fun […]
Funny how they were so against ethics reform a few months ago, but now they want earmark reform.

Ernie Fletcher’s 2005 pardons of his aides to unseat the Republican incumbent. Beshear, a former lieutenant governor and attorney general, also completed an […]
Because cronyism and profits always trumps life and pure ethics: The private security firm Blackwater USA, which has faced mounting criticism following an incident earlier this month in which armed guards from the group purportedly killed 11 unarmed Iraqi civilians, has numerous links to the White House as well as many current and former Republicans. […]
This is a very bizarre story, and hopefully one the House Ethics Committee will be taking up: A local couple is complaining that U.S. Rep. Doug Lamborn left them two threatening voice mails after they wrote a letter criticizing his fundraising. Jonathan Bartha and Anna Bartha told The Denver Post that Lamborn said there would […]
So what is HR 451 you ask? Well it deals with corruption.
