Pelosi's ethics stance hypocritical, GOP says -

Pelosi's ethics stance hypocritical, GOP says - The Washington Times: Nation/Politics - May 04, 2005: "House Republicans called Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi a hypocrite yesterday for not demanding investigations into new ethics questions that have arisen about the travel of her fellow Democrats.
'She demanded an investigation into [Majority Leader] Tom DeLay, but hasn't said a word about these Democrats who have done the same thing,' said Rep. Patrick T. McHenry, North Carolina Republican. 'If she doesn't call for investigations into her fellow Democrats, then it's clear she's being a hypocrite.'
...
Despite urging from Republicans, Mrs. Pelosi refused to call for any investigations of her Democratic colleagues.

"The Republicans are yet again attempting to muddy the waters to divert attention from their pattern of abusing of power," spokeswoman Jennifer Crider said yesterday.

Translation: "We all know that ethics rules are meant to be applied to Republicans only and it's a nuisance for you to suggest otherwise."
