Do you realize how insane it is to see the term "Honorable" in front of those bozo's names?

The whole CBC wouldn't amount to a pimple on an honorable man's ass.

And you sir -- you be bad stirring up the help!
You KNOW Massa isn't going to stand for no uppity Negro in her Party...

Semper Fi

[NinoFan]

This is a joke, right?

[JerseyDvl]

hahahaha...I just called Sheila Jackson Lee's office and expressed my outrage over the difference in treatment between William Jefferson and Kennedy.
Guy said I was the first call so let's get this food fight started people!

[ncountylee]

Good idea, will call Maxine's office in the AM. Need time to work on my accent.

[technomage]

Ah doug from upland.

You naughty boy!!

Are you trying to stir things up in the Dimocrats circles?????

I DO love your thinking!!!!!!

[Enchante]

LOL! Hey, CBC bozos: I wish to complain about the treatment of that great citizen and model of integrity, Rep. Wm. Jefferson. It is clear to me that he was merely doing his duty as a citizen to expose the "culture of corruption" of the evil Republicans by working his way on an undercover basis into any network of corruption he could find. Once he had stashed at least $1 million in his freezer, his secret plan was to offer it to evil Republicans in order to prove that THEY are the true "culture of corruption." By interfering with his brilliant one-man "sting" operation the FBI and unsympathetic colleagues in Congress are hindering the noble efforts of one of the great investigative minds of our time.

Thank you.

[Drango]

Good idea but....Yawnnnnnnn.....let it go. The black "victim" crowd could care less about what conservatives think.

[detroitdarien]

Even for fun, I'm not supporting this corrupt SOB... seems like some senior members of the CBC have come to their senses..

I'm all for a good House cleaning, regardless of the side of the aisle.

[clintonh8r]

THIS NEVER WOULD HAVE HAPPENED TO JEFFERSON IF HE WERE WHITE!!!!!! IT'S RACISM, I TELLYA! RACISM!

[grapeape]

Pelosis' "house cleaning" of Jefferson is a huge mistake. She should realize by now that when people vote democrat, they do not care at all about corruption. It is too late for anything.

This will do nothing but cause problems within her own party. Also, remember that The democrats are not really a political party, they are more of a crime family. Once you after one member all of their allies rally around them and they NEVER forgive!

[doug from upland]

How about this for a talking point? William Jefferson, Democrat of Louisiana, has not yet been indicted and he denies the charges. He would be spared this humiliation if he were white.

[From The Deer Stand]

Just wondering..... is there a CONGRESSIONAL WHITE CAUCUS group or would that be racist?

REPORT

I've made several calls telling them that what they are doing to Congressman Jefferson is not right. I mentioned Rostenkoski not resigning until he was indicted. I mentioned that nothing has happened to Patrick Kennedy. Congresswoman Lee's office told me that the whole black caucus is standing behind him. FOODFIGHT!!!
