WASHINGTON (AP) - All five Republicans on the House ethics committee and the panel's ranking Democrat withdrew from a long-standing investigation of Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters of California on Friday to avoid further questions about their impartiality.I'm sure that's just coincidence, right? I mean, surely Waters wasn't steering bailout money to her husband's bank, right? And MA Congressman John Tierney had no idea his wife was laundering her brother's offshore gambling money out of their shared home, of course. At least Tierney's not accusing the GOP of destroying the tax code, whereas Waters calls the GOP "demons" and claims they will destroy the US banking system.
The extraordinary development came more than two years after the panel began examining whether Waters tried to steer money from the 2008 financial bailout to a minority-owned bank while her husband was a shareholder and board member of the institution.
Or maybe she just resents the competition...
That is all.

Once again the GOP lets the Waters control the invetigation.
Hint to the Party of Losers: You don't need to worry about contraception when you have no balls.

This phrase "House ethics" you use.
I do not think it means what you think it means.
