Senior Democrat on House ethics committee stepping downMollohan's decision comes in an election year when his party is accusing majority Republicans of allowing a "culture of corruption" in Congress. Mollohan, of West Virginia, will be replaced by Rep. Howard Berman of California, a former ranking Democrat on the panel. Mollohan has denied any wrongdoing. The only evenly divided panel in the House, the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct has been divided along partisan lines for the past 16 months and unable to launch any major new investigations. If Mollohan had stayed while under his own ethics cloud, the chances for the stalemate to end would have been almostmpossible. The Wall Street Journal reported two weeks ago that Mollohan steered millions of dollars to nonprofit groups in his district -- with much of the money going to organizations run by people who contribute to the lawmaker's campaigns. Also, a conservative group filed a complaint with federal prosecutors this year questioning whether Mollohan correctly reported his assets on financial disclosure forms. While Mollohan's troubles threaten to become a major campaign problem for Democrats, Pelosi, of California, said in a statement that Mollohan decided on his own to step down and that she accepted his decision. |

Decided on his own? That's probably the overstatement of the year, very similar to the contrived apology from the political genius of Georgia, Cynthia McKinney. Methinks that both were hauled to the Pelosi wood shed, had a "meeting of the minds" with the Democrat power-brokers, and were told to take the respective steps that were taken. Da Dims are trying to look squeaky clean as a campaign issue, but Mollohan and McKinney end up being political embarrassments. When a thorough investigation is done on Mollohan, there will be enough dirt to start another Idaho potato (or is that 'potatoe') farm.

I have it on the authority of 425 unbiased historians that Mollohan will be completely exonerated and the misdeeds were actually committed by the worst President we've ever had.
