| Description | DENVER (AP) -- Colorado Democrats paid tribute Tuesday to Republican Rep. Joel Hefley, who was recently ousted as chairman of the House Ethics Committee after a flap with Majority Leader Tom DeLay.
The tribute was introduced by House Democrats, who said Hefley deserved better treatment. That brought tears to the eyes of Hefley's wife, state Rep. Lynn Hefley, R-Colorado Springs, who criticized Republicans in Congress.
"Now you tell me, is it ethical to be bipartisan?" she asked.
Hefley's committee twice last year issued reports rebuking DeLay. In one case, the panel said Texas Republican had created the appearance of linking political donations to a legislative favor and had improperly involved the Federal Aviation Administration in a Texas political dispute.
