Remember when Curt Weldon (R-Pa.) tried to score political points by slamming opponent Joe Sestak (D) for sending his daughter to an out-of-state hospital -- even though she was four and suffering from a malignant brain tumor? Journalists jumped on the ethically questionable attack.

Now Weldon's accused of something else -- and in the alternate reality of Washington politics, his latest transgression, while not anywhere near as reprehensible as the former episode, actually constitutes a genuine ethics violation.

What did Weldon do? He used the photo and bio from his House website on his campaign website. The Pennsylvania Democratic Party wrote the House ethics committee, saying it’s “an obvious campaign violation” because the materials are official House resources.

Not that the Army of Curt isn't fighting back. He's pulled the contested items from his site, but he's also taking issue with the charge. “After months of campaigning, our opponent has finally taken a position on an issue, the photo on the congressman’s website,” said Mike Puppio, Weldon’s campaign manager. “While he’s preoccupied with that, Weldon is focused on the issues that matter most in the 7th District.”

Like, say, digging for WMDs in Iraq?
