Jefferson declined and has basically told Pelosi to take a flying leap! It doesn't get any better than this.

I hope he doesn't quit and is an ongoing mockery of her "Culture of Corruption" crapola.

....is it hastert's job to try and protect it?.....

What evidence is there he tried?

As Speaker of the House he is defending Congress not the congressman.

That should be apparent.

That's awesome. Let them bleed slowly, with him lingering on to mock the "clean democrats" lie. Dean will try to force him out, and the race card will be played.

This could be the Dems' Dubai.

Neither has Delay eh?......Oh what a tangled web the Democrats have weaved. Pelosi asked him to resign so she could appear to be even steven as to what she demanded from Delay.

Jefferson telling her UH UH is sure to have her blood boiling right now. She has to escalate or she looks entirely partison in application of her own demands.

HA HA HA Pelosi is really in a fix now!

Note to Speaker of the House Hastert.
You guys are not "above the law." This does not involve a seperation of powers, it is about a criminal act.Members of Congress cannot be above the law!
