Pelosi’s latest shark-jumping moment

Naming disgraced former CIA chair Porter Goss, who knows plenty about lack of ethics, as co-chair of the new Office of Congressional Ethics, is certainly a TV-classic level shark-jump.

Besides Goss, the rest of the board looks like a bunch of retreads and mutual back-scratchers. Meanwhile, Passive Pelosi™ gives us a boatload of PR crapola, joined by her partner in crime, House Minority Leader John Boehner:

“The new Office of Congressional Ethics is essential to an effective ethics process in the House,” Pelosi said in a statement. “With the creation of the Office of Congressional Ethics, we bring a new element of transparency and accountability to the ethics process.”

Madam Speaker, I’ll believe you about the same time I believe the House will actually have an impeachment vote. So much for Congressional ethics, eh?
