Well, it would seem the Congress is taking this more seriously than in the past. Even Jefferson may have found one of his balls....tiny though it may be:
Quote:
WASHINGTON - The House ordered a speedy internal investigation that could oust indicted Rep. William J. Jefferson from Congress before his bribery trial.
Mindful of anti-corruption sentiment among voters last November, the House passed two resolutions Tuesday that require the ethics committee to investigate charges more quickly than in the past.
Jefferson, meanwhile, resigned his seat on the Small Business Committee in response to his indictment on federal charges of taking more than $500,000 in bribes. Democrats already had moved to take that seat from him. Jefferson admitted no wrongdoing.

Maybe there is one small L.E.D. at the end of this dark tunnel.
