Corruption in D.C.

From the Washington Post:

In what Republican strategists call "the DeLay effect," questions plaguing House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Tex.) are starting to hurt his fellow party members, who are facing news coverage of their own trips and use of relatives on their campaign payrolls.

I would love to see an independent enquiry look at ethical breaches for the entire Senate, House and White House. I have the queasy feeling that corruption is endemic in Washington D.C.
