“I have an announcement to make,” Juanita begins.  “This month the voters of America went to the polls in almost-average numbers to vote for the one thing Republicans promised that Democrats didn’t deliver – a more corrupt congress!  Yep, there wasn’t near enough corruption going on.”

Despite publicly promising more transparency and disclosure of the inner workings of Congress, behind closed doors, the GOP leadership has made moves indicating the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) may be targeted for cuts or extinction.

According to an email seen by ABC News, Rep. David Dreier, R-Calif., called the OCE on Friday, Nov. 5, just three days after the midterm elections in which Republicans regained a majority and control of the House. During that phone conversation, ABC’s source said, the California representative asked for justification of its continued existence.

“Honey, I know the Teabaggers are plenty proud of this accomplishment.  Now there will be no oversight to the screwing they’re gonna get by this congress.  Hey, at least they’ll get screwed in private.  With the lights out.”
