Ethics where?

Yesterday, the US Senate made its first lobbying overhaul in 10 years. Sounds good, right? Think again. Whatever is passed in this bill has no enforcement. Don't believe me? Chew on this! Some senators wanted to create an Office of Public Integrity, and it seems as though Bill Frist didn't care for this idea much...

"Trust is the foundation of our democratic government...With the public opinion of Congress at an all-time low, we have to do a better job of retaining that trust and that confidence."

This is the same Bill Frist who challenged Terri Shiavo's diagnosis from a video recording, and helped usher in the rubber-stamp senate we now know and hate today. There can only be one good reason Sen. Frist is against an enforcement of new lobbying laws, and that can only be that he has some incentive. I know this doesn't pertain to Maryland, but I hope this guy wins in TN this November.
