Ethics...hallmark of the DemocRATS /sarc

[grobdriver]

Why do we never hear in addition to all this that this is the guy who mis-appropriated a National Guard truck and crew to go "rescue" his money?

Someone may have died in their absence, while the Guard did his crooked bidding.

[beansox]

depends on what the definition of is, is.

[Malone LaVeigh]

Some Democratic aides were downright aghast at Jefferson’s audacity at using franked envelopes, official letterhead and the House internal mail service in a blatant violation of House rules.

Oh, please ... give me a break!

[nothingnew]

Only in America.

Well, on second thought, this kind of crap has happened many times throughout history. I just thought it wouldn't happen here. I must remember, corrupt government is corrupt government no matter where it happens. It's happening right here in our failing Republic.......

Guess I was naive.........

This article did NOT state that this same man, that is being made fun of by Democrat staffers, got a STANDING OVATION by the Cong. Black Caucus yesterday....

whick tells me, his behaviour is approved by at least SOME Congresscritters.

[jazusamo]

Nice letter. Too bad it violates House ethics rules. It’s a no-no to use taxpayer resources to raise campaign dough.

It seems there could be a correlation between Jefferson's brain and a box of rocks. As for his staff making the mistake, he hired them.

[OldFriend]

Didn't stop the congressional black caucus from giving jefferson a standing ovation yesterday.

[NonValueAdded]

If they weren't playing with our very survival, having the RATs in power might be amusing.

[EQAndyBuzz]

"“It was just a tremendous — tremendous — staff error,” she said. “We are contacting the appropriate committees to apologize and rectify the situation.” "

Then they should all be fired immediately and brought up on federal charges...

HAHAHA.... That was pretty funny.

[Non-Sequitur]

“We were going to send him a check in a freezer bag,” joked one chief of staff to a Democratic Member of Congress who received Jefferson’s solicitation.

Now THAT's funny.

[Red Badger]

Nice start for "The most Ethical Congress in History".........

[OldFriend]

MSM still too busy sniffing peloosie's skirt to pay attention to substance.

[Retired Chemist]

No wonder the Congressional Black Caucus gave him a standing ovation yesterday.

His protective melanin immunizes him from criticism, discipline and perhaps indictment.

[Past Your Eyes]

"We presume that will involve the cash-strapped Jefferson campaign reimbursing the House Franking Commission..."...thereby putting him even further into debt and necessitating another fundraising letter on government stationery.

[freeangel]

Hey, Nancy, princess big talk on ethics--we want action, we want action. Oh, that's right--TALKING about democratic ethics IS action to you.

[the Real fifi]

And in the words of Don Surber:
"Forget that investigation of Mollohan. He now chairs the subcommittee that oversees the FBI budget. Some swamps are drained, others are protected wetlands.

Murtha chairs the subcommittee overlooking the defense budget. His brother will be lining up the suitors on K Street."
