See, for example, the latest Republican response to these charges:
"I think the members are very much in the mode that this piling on is being done because there are no competing policy ideas that Democrats have to make," said Representative Roy Blunt of Missouri, the No. 3 House Republican. "The things that Tom has been criticized about in one way or another every member of Congress could be criticized about."Hard to disagree with that one, Roy - count me in!
In fact, let's all join together and criticize every Congressmember, from any party, who (1) Accepts trips to exotic locales from Lobbyists, contrary to Ethics principles and Federal law; or (2) Pays their wives / daughters / mistresses / husbands / brothers / sisters / sons $100,000 a year for their expert "fund raising fees", "campaign management", and "payroll".

What a swell idea, Blunt!
So, how much have you paid family members as "campaign consultants"? How many trips have you taken to exotic, international locales on the lobbyist dime?
Oh, and by the way, are you still beating your wife?
Definitely indict blunt and throw in Reps. Tom Cole and Lamar Smith -- check them out in DeLay's web of corruption
MI is Michigan...
MO is Missouri
get it straight and don't give my congressman to a different state.
Want to talk about corruption? How about Daschle's wife as lobbyist for Boeing before the Senate?

Want to talk about corruption?
Umm... yes?
How about Daschle's wife as lobbyist for Boeing before the Senate?
Point me to the Federal statute says that's illegal, St W, and I'll be right there with you.
