3. In Duke's parlance, we have a target rich environment!
So many crooks, so little time.

"Either way, the heat is on in the Capitol—Dean hinted to RAW STORY that ethics paperwork may be underway—and once the committee hires investigators, the fragile ethics “truce” could shatter.

“The committee will be forced to do its job when it’s finally finished its staffing process,” one aide remarked."

Not an entirely pleasant story, but needs to be done.

From the C-Span video of the DNC meeting of the Executive committee, when ethics was discussed right after the Cornell Belcher presentation:

Dean: "honesty is a moral value. it is a moral value not to take money from those who want to influence you. we can't be hypocrites. we can't tolerate bad things in our own party. some will say oh, but I did that, too. well, ok, then you get branded, too...."

6. Looks like three of them
According to a veteran aide, Democrats are looking most closely at three GOP members: Reps. Bob Ney (R-OH), Rep. Duke Cunningham (R-CA) and DeLay.
