I couldn't help but be struck by the list of potential committee chairs in the House of Representatives if the Democrats win the House this fall.

It is generally a list of liberal hacks who will work to drag the government well to the left of the American people. I suspect one term with the House of Representatives run by these extremists will be enough to bring the House back into the GOP fold.

But one or two names in particular jumped out at me as exempifying the Democrat Culture of Corruption.

. . . here is Rep. John Conyers of Michigan, in line for the top spot on the Judiciary Committee; Rep. Bennie Thompson of Mississippi on the
Homeland Security Committee; and Rep. Alcee Hastings of Florida at the Intelligence Committee.

Please note the two in bold face type. Each of these men has some serious ethical clouds hanging over him.

Conyers has been accused by former aides of misusing his office by turning them into baby sitters for his children. He is the prime sponsor of a resolution that seeks to investigate grounds for possible impeachment of Bush over the war in Iraq.

It is actually much worse than it sounds -- it isn't a case of "watch my kids while they hang out in my office on a day off of school." It is "you will stay here until I come back and get my kids -- whenever that is." Or even, in a couple of cases, "I'm going out of town and I'll be back in a few days -- you will take care of my kids until then."

Yowsuh, Massa Conyers -- we all know that congressional staffers are intended to be a taxpayer-funded nanny service for over-privileged office holders and their spoiled children.

And since the article mentions Conyers has been on an impeachment kick, let's look at Rep. Alcee Hastings over at the Intelligence Committee.

Hastings, a charismatic former federal judge, was impeached and removed from the bench in 1989 for fabricating evidence that secured his acquittal in 1983 on bribery charges.

Impeached and removed from a federal judgeship -- when the Democrats controlled the House and the Senate. So there is no question about Hastings being corrupt -- the Democrats have already affirmed that themselves.

Absolutely incredible.

Captain Ed has some interesting insights on this issue as well.
