On the other side of the coin, do we really whant our elected officials spending all their time defending every little thing the do, or doing the job they where elected to do?

Those other states "ethics" committees are usually just a tool for opponents to bash officials. People then become inoculated to it and don't pay attention anymore, even when they should.

Obama is the only honest one of the bunch.
