Republican ethics: A possible clue?

It's an old line, but it's an evergreen: Being called "unethical" by the House Republicans is like being called "ugly" by a frog.

You can read the full story here. The reference is to "America For Sale: The Cost of Republican Corruption," a lengthy report released last week by the Democratic staff of the House Rules Committee.

I've been indexing the most egregious examples of GOP corruption from the report here:

• Part 1: Health Care


• Part 2: Energy Policy


• Part 3: National Security


• Part 4: Employment and the Economy


• Part 5: Education

Typical Republican up-is-downism: The crime isn't the crime; blowing the whistle is the crime.
