"just because you walk in the garage doesn't make you a car"

and other really stupid things republican whip leonard lee rawson had to say about ethics reform.

1. "ethics legislations will only trap people who are trying to be honest."
2. "just because you have an ethics commission or ethics laws, doesn't make someone ethical."
3. "just because you walk in the garage doesn't make you a car"
4. "...if voters elect ethical people, then you don't have to worry about ethics legislation."

1. nonsense; unsubstantiated by any argument, logical or otherwise
2. nonsense; just because you have criminal codes, doesn't mean there aren't criminals.
3. what? ??
4. unsubstantiated by two hundred years of history.
did senator rawson's constituents elect an ethical person?
and yet we still need ethics legislation.

with friends like this, who needs enemies?
