Let's Get Ethical*!

I wanna get ethical, ethical!
C'mo-ooon let's get ethical!

President Bush has ordered White House staff to attend mandatory briefings beginning next week on ethical behavior and the handling of classified material after the indictment last week of a senior administration official in the CIA leak probe.

According to a memo sent to aides yesterday, Bush expects all White House staff to adhere to the "spirit as well as the letter" of all ethics laws and rules. As a result, "the White House counsel's office will conduct a series of presentations next week that will provide refresher lectures on general ethics rules, including the rules of governing the protection of classified information," according to the memo, a copy of which was provided to The Washington Post by a senior White House aide.

I'm saying all the things that I know you'll like
Making good conversation
I gotta handle you just right
You know what I mean
I gave you a good story tip
Then outed Wilson's wifey
There's nothing left to talk about
Unless it's marked "Eyes Only"

Let's get ethical, ethical
I wanna get ethical
Let's get into ethical
Let me hear that secret talk, that secret talk
Let me hear that secret talk
