Pelosi needs to resign for… Wm Jefferson, D-LA, taking bribes ($90k in his freezer?!?) Barney Frank, D-NY, Involved with running a male escort service…and being a perv Cynthia McKinney, D-GA, Battery on Capital Hill Police…and a crappy hairstyle Former Rep Gerry Studds, D-MA, liquoring up a 17-yr old page and havin sex with him…and being a perv I am sure that the Great Ones on this site could ask more…but her demanding the resignation of the entire Republican leadership is absolutely rediculous.

Questions remain about who knew what, when -- and the case turns off the conservative base. Five weeks before a midterm election, when Republicans are already on the ropes, the last thing the GOP needed was a homosexual pedophilia scandal. Former Rep.
