House of Scandal

Here is how tied up in DeLay Petri is, and you can look up other politicians as well:

- Petri voted with Tom DeLay 89% of the time between Jan. 1 2004 and March 31 2005.

- Petri voted to weaken the ethics rules in a move that many say served only to protect Tom DeLay.

- When Republicans realized it was "impossible to win the communications battle" over the gutted ethics rules, Petri flip-flopped and voted to put the old rules back into place.

- When Democrats offered a solution to clean up the House by strengthening ethics rules, Petri voted twice to make sure it never even came to an up or down vote.

- Petri voted to allow DeLay to continue serving as Leader even if he is indicted.
