Hoyer: Dems keeping an ethics eye on GOP: "House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said yesterday that Democrats would scrutinize any Republican appointments to the House ethics committee and investigate their political donations to fellow members of Congress.

Two GOP lawmakers on the panel recused themselves from any potential investigation into House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Texas) because they had made political contributions to his legal defense fund."
