This gets better and better.

[Mikey_1962]

How does the Black Caucus feel about the BS Blackwell has hadto deal with here in Ohio?

Oh..... yeah.... I'm stupid,... he's a Black Republican...

Nevermind........

[digger48]

Notice how Jefferson is "embattled", yet almost all republicans named in a scandal are "disgraced"

[Dumpster Baby]

The Tupperware Party speaks .....

[GeorgiaDawg32]

"Congressional Black Caucus opposed the move and said the Louisiana lawmaker deserves a "presumption of innocence."

This is the same presumption of innocence they demanded for the duke lacrosse players, obviously..

[Txsleuth]

Well, aren't they special....

[Fruitbat]

This gets better and better.

Yeah, it does. As if the Black Caucus doesn't object to even the treatment of obvious black criminals.

And the Dims think they're going to make progress this fall.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

I think you may be on to something.

[kcar]

By the time this is over, both parties will have built and stocked a walk-in freezer for this bozo.

[kingu]

Please, please, please.. Let them continue spouting off their insanity. Eventually it will get through the censors.

[citizencon]

'Presumption of innocence', my word! A right that does not apply to Republicans (as in Delay, Libby and Limbaugh)...

[Northern Yankee]

Or even the Marines held in the shootings in Iraq.

Screw William Jefferson.

The man has no honor, neither does the Black Caucus.

[Unicorn]

Dontcha know there the protected class.

[taxesareforever]

Am I ever surprised. NOT!!

[saganite]

said the Louisiana lawmaker deserves a "presumption of innocence."


DeLay should be presumed innocent? You could knock me over with a feather! Oh wait, it's a Democratic lawmaker. Never mind.

[Pontiac]

Jefferson has not been indicted and has denied all wrongdoing in connection with a federal bribery investigation that has netted two convictions.

All us New Orleans poe people keep our cash in the freezer. It stay so much crisper that away.

[billybudd]

Democrats intend to campaign against Republicans this fall by accusing them of presiding over a "culture of corruption." Jefferson's continued presence on the committee presumably would allow Republicans to blur the issue in the midterm elections.

Notice how the article presumes that the Democrats are correct. The article could have said "Jefferson's continued presence on the committee demonstrates that the culture of corruption cuts both ways." Instead, they are "blurring the issue."

The AP is a liberal POS.

[BJClinton]

the Louisiana lawmaker deserves a "presumption of innocence."

Congressman DeLay could not be reached for comment.

[clintonh8r]

Race trumps everything for these CBC jackasses.
