Maybe one of his staff has it in for him. Of course, it could be a Rovian plot.

and just why is taking the feds so long to charge him?

and just why is taking the feds so long to charge him?

Because every day that goes by means one more thing they have to investigate and charge him with.

Can't wait to see the list.

Taxpayer funds, Houes letterhead, Taxpayer postage stamps and evidently his house staff is campaigning for him while being paid by the taxpayers. Isn't this about 10 years worth of 'prison' time in itself?

I forgot, he's a dhimmi and Peeeloshi will only go after republican corruption.

They are a free standing culture of corruptions but it's still comical. Best comedy show of the century took place this week in the house. The comedy writers in Holy-wood will hang themselves in shame.

Hmmm, where is Lee on this one? Too busy gloating about Jamail?

Is he now the dumbest or most corrupt blk Dem in Congress, or both?

Free stamps for crooks? Thanks, Nancy!

Nancy will get right on that. Not.

Lee cannot comment, because he's embarrassed by his party....AGAIN.

Some Democratic aides were downright aghast at Jefferson's audacity at using franked envelopes, official letterhead and the House internal mail service in a blatant violation of House rules.

They're aghast? I'm aghast that they're aghast. Seriously.

I'm with Srappy on this one,lol. Man they must be hyponotized by Aliens sheesh , they cannot be this stupid . Well I quess they can if I ignorantly voted for them all those years, sorry guys.

I said jefferson was an asshat long ago. Yes, he's a friggin' embarrassment to Democrats and liberals, absolutely. And as you can see from the quotes included in Kim's post, Democrats are honest enough to say so.

but in answer to your question, epador, I was writing this reply to jhow66, while sipping a latte made on my new home espresso machine... thanks for asking.

Can't you think of anything to say without me around, eppie? Do YOU need help with the big words?

Nance already stripped him of his authority. If this were the GOP congress, you'd all be talking about how the media is fabricating the charges and what rules should be changed so that he could keep his plump assignments.

Hey, look, Lee's back! After running away from the logic grenades tossed his way last night!

All I can say is the feds are a lot faster in prosecuting Republicans than Dems. There have been, what, three Dem Congressmen and one Dem senator under federal investigation for a year or more, and no indictments yet. Sure didn't take them that long with Republicans, though I'm delighted to see any corrupt public official gone.

"There have been, what, three Dem Congressmen and one Dem senator under federal investigation for a year or more, and no indictments yet."

Investigators back off during the period leading up to the election.

I stated that back when the Jefferson story broke. Weren't you taking notes? If not see JohnAnnArbor -- he collects my comments and keeps them in scrapbook under his pillow. Like epador and Jhow -- JAA just doesn't know what to say until I provoke him into a frothing...

Damn nice latte!

Ahh, I wonder if that was Jimson Weed or saccharine in your espresso, Lee?

You never seem to drop a chance to be first if you get to needle what you observe as the opposition. I'd love to see the same energy balanced both ways rather than unidirectional.

Obviously you were against him before they were for him, right? And it took you two hours how to figure out how to format your response in Word before you could cut and paste it, and then write your response here?

Maybe you need to check those beans you've grinding. They might be rat turds...

And won resoundingly ... , despite the ongoing federal probe in which two people have already pleaded guilty

hey we're talking tom delay here right?

If this were the GOP congress, you'd all be talking about how the media is fabricating the charges and what rules should be changed so that he could keep his plump assignments.

Doubtful. I think Foley was thoroughly trounced on the right, as well.

Then again, if this were a GOP congressmen, he'd have been kicked off the Hill within a week of the discovery of the chilly $90k.

Nope. Wm Jefferson is a Democrat. He losses his committee seat, but he'll not lose his seat. And a majority of his idiot constituency will keep voting him back.

The GOP will normally go ahead and take out the trash, while the DNC will normally just spray febreeze and crack windows.

Would someone please pass a note to jpe that John Conyers is a Dem?

yeah like ney was and cunninghame and delay (rules changed (then unchanged) so he could keep his seat) and frist and..........

you are in fantasyland!!

Thats how dem blks like their leaders. Corrupt and stupit. Look at nagin, sharpton, jackson, barry (can't forget marion barry jeez!!)

"delay (rules changed (then unchanged) so he could keep his seat)"

Delay was also the victim of a Nifong-esque prosecution in Texas and is almost assuredly innocent of all charges.

The others were cut loose and no energy was spent protecting them.

cut loose?!?! they denied and denied and denied, and lied and lied and lied, through indictment and prosecution. ney served in congress even after. you say the gop will take out the trash. you are a liar and revisionist, that's all the repubs have left now! jefferson will get the same but at least we don't deny it (except for his stupid voters but they deserve what they get)!

It amazes me that someone like this can keep a job in government after pulling shit like this. Wait, no it doesn't--gotta love our politics, where somehow fools like this keep getting re-elected.

"cut loose?!?! they denied and denied and denied, and lied and lied and lied, through indictment and prosecution."

The accused lied. Yes. That's what they do.

The REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP did nothing for them. Left them on their own, as they SHOULD have done.

"ney served in congress even after. you say the gop will take out the trash. you are a liar and revisionist, that's all the repubs have left now! jefferson will get the same but at least we don't deny it (except for his stupid voters but they deserve what they get)!"

Removing a Congressman from office is a rather difficult affair (they couldn't even boot McCarthy at his nadir).

Ney, Cunningham, and Foley were left to float on their own.

Delay was Nifonged and they defended him, as they should have. His "indictment" was a major travesty.

Funny, when, say, Studds was accused of pedophilia --- and ADMITTED to it --- the Dems gave him a standing ovation. Murtha is held up as being "honorable", which is kinda comical. Reid has tons of ethical baggage that nobody wishes to deal with. Was it Conyers using staff on his re-election campaign? Mollohan is in charge of the money for the agency INVESTIGATING him.

So, please tell me more stories of how the Dems don't circle the wagons like nobody else.
-=Mike

they denied and denied and denied, and lied and lied and lied

And got standing ovations for it!

Jefferson is proof that the Dems--and especially the Black Caucus--care far more for the color of a person's skin than they do for the content of their character. It's hard to find more racist people than liberals. From there out right anti-Semitism, to the belief that minorities are inferior and need Big Whitey government to care for them they continually show day after day what bigots they are.

Ha! With six words, jpe just slapped MikeSC down to the basement!

Hey old "pucker puss" (lee lee)(the resident turd polisher) that was a good post. But how did you know my routine? Mighty damn close. But the thats the differance between you and I. I admit it and you wiil not. You see those that are queer face liars such as you have no guts. But extra nice to know that you "composed" your ditty because I get under you skin so bad. Have another latte while you try to agree with everyone so you won't look like a horses ass everytime you open your mouth.
"dead@10" --looks like I got your # also. Whoops there goes another keyboard.

"Ha! With six words, jpe just slapped MikeSC down to the basement!"

World of difference in ovations for fighting accusations and standing ovations after admissions of guilt.
-=Mike

Man, you Reps just can't stop the spin, can you? First the claim that Reps take out their trash. Easily disproved with the list of trash that hung around. But then you say, oh, but we didn't support them! That was handily disproved. Then you say, oh, but that was only during the lying phase, and before they admitted their guilt!

Can't you just stick to one claim, without constantly trying to redefine it after the facts are shown to you? You know... stay the course.

The only difference between Jefferson and the other Democrats is that Jefferson's just isn't as good at covering his trail.

Hey Brian , Explan why 75 % claiming to be democrats don't know who Nancy Pelosi is?

Might explain why they don't know she was fined 21,000.00 for ethics violations?campaigne fraud. The same thing they falsely accuse Tom Delay of having done in spite of the fact that he did not and the fact that the law they shamelessly used in their (setup/ frame job/ corrupt democrat procecutor) did not even exist at the time they say the offense accured?

It's like being accuse of murdering someone on such a date and you've yet to be born.

Corruption by the democrats is the norm and expected, not the republicans. That is why you are here and why democrats lie. You know it's true so why fight it. You should be proud about your party's manipulation and fraud professionalism.

"after the facts are shown to you"

That would probably all depend on what the defintion of what you consider the definition of "fact" is. In this case , "anything that is shown or told" right? Democrats must be able to get "their" facts out there and often, like their message(talking points)propaganda(lies).

Tell us what you want us to believe.

Rob, you are sure one to talk about getting facts right. Yes, one charge against Delay was tossed because the law wasn't in effect when he did what the law made illegal. (He doesn't dispute that he did it, just that it only became illegal afterwards. There's good conservative ethics for ya.) But no matter. The other charges are still valid. Those are the facts.

The other charges are still valid. Those are the facts.

If they were, why did Earle have to violate laws involving grand juries to get them charged?

It's not hard to get a grand jury to indict --- but he couldn't pull it off. So he simply kept re-presenting the case until he got it.
-=Mike

The case stands. If it were illegal, it wouldn't. Unless you believe the entire justice system is corrupt, which you very well just might.
