That's the real culture of corruption

As bad as that, and worse ...
Dems want rule against catching congressmen taking bribes.

These people are too much even for we who already think congressional democrats are worse than a sandwich made from moldy bread, and spread with generous layers of smegma harvested from a syphilitic leper after he was locked in a car on a hot summer day.  Yep.  Worse than that.
Irvin B. Nathan, general counsel of the House of Representatives, sent a letter to Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. on Monday about establishing a protocol on how to handle "hopefully rare searches and electronic surveillance involving members of Congress." Mr. Nathan previously failed to negotiate such an agreement with the George W. Bush administration when Republicans controlled the House. His return to this effort isn't surprising given the number of congressional Democrats facing accusations of ethical misconduct.

Democrats facing scrutiny include the chairman of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense, John P. Murtha of Pennsylvania, for his close ties to the defense lobby firm PMA Group, which is under federal investigation; House Ways and Means Chairman Charles B. Rangel of New York about a number of tax issues; Rep. Jesse L. Jackson Jr. of Illinois over his reported effort to persuade ousted Illinois Gov. Rod R. Blagojevich to appoint him to fill President Obama's former Senate seat; and Rep. Jane Harman of California, who reportedly was taped in 2005 by the National Security Agency purportedly agreeing to help seek leniency for two accused Israeli spies in exchange for help in lobbying her appointment to chair the House Intelligence Committee.  [Pelosi continued]
I don't have a very good poker face.

You know, the Principality of Andorra doesn't have these problems. Catalan probably isn't that hard to learn.

Why don't the Democrats just pass a law that says that Democratic congress critters are exempt from any and all laws while in office? They've got the votes, and Obama would be sure to sign it, especially if they made it retroactive to when he was a Senator.
The Supreme Court wouldn't touch it either.
