Go to the CNN coverage of this story and the first image of a crooked Congressman you see will be... a Democrat- James Traficant, not the litany of currently indicted, disgraced or under investigation Republicans. Got to remind everyone that you can't trust the party of those dirty effing hippies.

That was John Kerry's bill, introduced last year, by the way. Good bill, and about time.
