His opponent warned voters that he would lose his positions in committee.
She was right.

It can't be because he's a criminal, since all RATS are criminals, so it must be racial discrimination!

Looks like Pelosi's "culture of corruption" is coming back to bite her.

"Congressional Black Caucus has questioned the idea of punishing him before his legal case has been settled"
Where were these guys when Foley was 'outed'?

While depriving Jefferson of his committee assignment,
the Democrats have been mum about another member of the Ways and Means Committee, Rep. James McDermott, who on Monday was admonished by the House ethics committee for violating ethics standards by giving reporters access to an illegally taped telephone call involving Republican leaders a decade ago. --

We should be looking at one and maybe 2 or 3 indictments in '07,, and that's just on the dem side. ;-)
Time will tell if Pelosi can deliver on her swamp remark.

The Dems have spent more time keeping corruption-tainted members off of committees than they have in formulating a new leadership structure.

Nancy Pelosi doesn't care about black people.

Didn't Screamin' Howie Dean call for Tom Delay to report to jail even before the investigation, much less trial (if there is one), of his alleged ethics violations has been completed?
To: NormsRevenge
If Nancy kicks McDermott, she will be in a world of hurt--dissing the blacks and the anti-war loons...

Bwahahaha. Watch the fireworks begin.

I smell rank racism, and I hope the Congressional Black Caucus calls Pelosi on this outrage. The nastier the battle among the RATS, the better for the country as far as I am concerned. We should all email Jackson-Lee, Waters, Tubbs, Conyers, et.al., and demand they stand up for their fellow victim.

In Delays case it was less ethics and more campain reform money mumbo-jumbo.
I say, let anyone buy what they want, I have an off button on my TV.

Dennis Hastert has to be upset that his newest, bestest buddy, William Jefferson won't get the gig.
