House panel to investigate rethuglican sleazewad

No, the other one. No, the other other one. No, ... shit...

The House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct said it has formed a subcommittee to investigate married Rep. Vito Fossella (R-NY), who announced Tuesday that he will not run for reelection after being caught ragingly drunk on his way back from his mistress and love child's apartment. Bonus:

If Vito Fossella is unable to reach a deal with prosecutors on his DUI arrest, he will likely have to serve five days in jail before the end of the year, making him only the fourth sitting member of Congress to be locked up following a criminal conviction and dragging his troubles back into the spotlight just as Republicans were counting on them having vanished.
