It is not mentioned anywhere in the article but U.S. Rep. Solomon P. Ortiz is a DEMOCRAT.

Like William Jefferson, Ortiz is guilty as h*ll. Another example of why Congress will not clean up its act. Why do we even have this institution since it's so corrupt and morally lacking? Too bad there isn't a national initiative to vote these creeps out of office and start with all new faces.

No, that can't be true. The "culture of corruption" involves only Republicans. I hear it all the time from my liberal acquaintences.
