I missed this article that ran in the Tacoma News Tribune last weekend. It’s a nice hit on Washington Congressman Doc Hastings. (Hastings heads up the House Ethics Committee, and the question is: With Tom DeLay roaming the halls, why didn’t the Pasco, WA Republican hold a single hearing in 2005?)

Here’s a choice quote:

“They might as well disband and stop pretending to have an ethics committee,” said Melanie Sloan, executive director of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics. “They are a disgrace. Hastings should be embarrassed.”
