Democrats will feel the heat as well

Drudge is reporting some ethics violations from a Democrat in the House. Representative Norm Dicks apparently had a lobbyist pay for a trip he took. Of course, Tom DeLay has been taking a beating by Democrats for such things, and recently Republicans repealed ethics rule changes that Democrats opposed. They did so to get the Ethics Committee back on track, as Democrats were throwing a tantrum. Now they reap what they have sown.

After Republicans repealed the new rules, Democrats came back to the table, but with the warning from Republicans: Democrats would be facing the music as well. Now we see it beginning with Norm Dicks. Both parties should be taken to task over these too-common ethical lapses, and the furor over this could have a positive result for the American people, but Democrats don't hold the moral high ground.
