		Basically what happened, for those who missed it, is that a bunch of members of the House of Representatives floated some checks at the now-defunct House bank without suffering the same penalties you or I would for doing the same thing at, say, TCF.
		The members of Congress who are responsible for this mess receive their punishment in the form of a reward: They get re-elected year in and year out, pointing fingers at others with one hand, holding a tin cup for the S&L bailout with the other.
		I'm not saying that Rubbergate is not a scandal worthy of public attention.

		For months, Republicans, led by minority whip Newt Gingrich, gleefully bashed Democrats over the issue.
		But "Rubbergate" has bounced back at the G.O.P., as Gingrich and three members of the Bush Administration, including Defense Secretary Dick Cheney, have admitted that they incurred overdrafts while serving in Congress.
		Almost overnight, the White House had to soften its stance on the scandal -- especially since George Bush himself could not say for sure whether he had abused the privilege when he served in the House from 1967 through 1970.
