WASHINGTON -- Democrats' plans to make Republican corruption a central theme of their election strategy this year were complicated by alleged wrongdoing in their own ranks, leading the party to try on Monday to blunt the political effects of the unfolding case against Rep. William Jefferson.
Democratic leaders sought to distance the party from Jefferson, the Louisiana Democrat who has been accused by the FBI of taking hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes.
In doing that, leaders tried to draw a distinction between the allegations against Jefferson and what they said was a much broader pattern among Republicans of trading legislative influence for campaign donations, trips and other perks.

Highlight Republican scandals while ignoring Democrat scandals. In years past, the Democrat Drive-By Media could have pulled it off.
The MSM will still try and cover this up. They will give it very marginal attention.
Are you as sick of the media as I am? They parrot America's enemies 24/7, cover, constantly for the Democrat party, shill for the DNC, and stick the Bush administration every opportunity they get.
Please join me in turning them off. Send them an email and tell them you will no longer view/listen to their tripe.
That phrase would have had a rather blue connotation during the Clinton Administration.
Life is good.
I hear them on the radio, but I haven't watched liberal network news in years. I also stopped subscribing the the newspaper when, on one Easter morning ten years ago, the newspaper didn't mention Easter (except for a single article deep within the pages).
Good for you. We all need to turn away from these traitors.
The Marxist Media is doing it's part by complaining about the constitionality of the FBI search of Jefferson's DC office (while completely ignoring the substance of the investigation).
When a Republican is involved, it's the "seriousness of the charges" that trumps evidence which hasn't been found/fabricated yet. When a Democrat is involved, it's the "witch hunt" that trumps evidence that has been found.
Cum'on, they feel okay, but it has never been pangs of guilt/conscience
What? Not going to offer the queasy libs any Alka Seltzer? ;)

Which is why I'm so against sending any federal dollars to Lousiana for Katrina relief without oversight.
No, don't send the media moguls email - they don't care about that.
The way to get the media to change is to complain to their *advertisers* and sponsors. Explain to them that you cannot understand why they spend money on these things that you object to and that until they pull their support for the show/network you will be buying the competition's product. Be specific. If and when they do pull their ad dollars out, send them another note thanking them.
Ask Bill Maher just how effective this technique is. He lost a very popular late night talk show almost overnight when he pissed off enough people who wrote his sponsors.
Hit them in the wallet - it's the only thing they will pay attention to.
