I was always taught that being ethical meant to do more than what was expected and less than what was allowed, seems to me the Idaho legislature has this a bit confused.

Maybe I’m giving ’em too much credit, but I bet every newly-elected legislator arrives on those hallowed marble halls with the loftiest intentions… to be the most above-the-table representative ever!

That is, until (s)he attends some orientation meetings with the Good Old Boys, who explain “how things are done around here.” And then the lobbyists start taking ’em to lunch. And before you know it, despite those good intentions, the day-to-day goings-on make those trusting constituents seem far away and not so important, ’til 6 months or so before the next election.

Or, maybe it happens before that. Perhaps to even get on the ballot with the correct letter behind their name, they have to take the Secret Party Loyalty Pledge.

It’s just fluff. They will continue to behave badly. Mcgee just got his girls mixed up.
