Congress overwhelmingly passed a new bill today, The Honest Leadership and Open Government Act of 2007, with a vote of 411-8. They hope the new legislation will shed light on possible corruption and discourage political favors. Considering the questionable history of Senator Ted "the internet is a series of tubes" Stevens (R-AK), and the fact that his home was raided by the IRS and the FBI this weekend, he could be a prime target for the new bill. No surprise he is pledging to block the bill in the Senate.
