So why now?

To deflect attention from the uprising over the traitorous illegal invaders amnesty?

Never thought they would indict him. Calls should start for him to resign immediately — oh wait, he is a Dem and it doesn’t work that way for them. He was just a little misguided in his dealings and loved to pocket money — nothing to see here.

Just one time I would love to see a DemocRAT stand up to their crime and resign.

Didn’t Pelosi try to appoint him to head one of the committees? So much for Hastert saying they had no right to search his office.

Foley's only "crime" was being a Republican in a key swing state who did something that Democrats and media would blow out of proportions and the GOP would stand there with their thumb up their butts.

Quite frankly, I am surprised they don't try this more often. Just find some blogger to accuse Congressman _____ of ____. Repeat until House is 435-0 in favor of the RATS.

I’m sure the MSM will cover this story with the same enthusiasm as they did with Hastert, DeLay, and Libby. I wont hold my breath. This will be forgotten, and the MSM will continue to cover for the Democrats.

I wonder how much of this will the MSM pass this on to the sheeple?

This is a complete non-story. Corruption is expected of liberal Democrats, so it's the same old non-news. The only way this would be news is if it were truly scandalous, like indictments against Polly Purebread (Rita Cosby) or Underdog (Ron Paul).

I wonder if the person who replaces him will be able to overcome the stench of scandal that stains this seat by working honestly for their district.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.... I kill myself sometimes.

Heh, that *was* entertaining. Sadly, his replacement may turn out to just be as bad, if not worse than Jefferson. During his reelection campaign, ol' Bill was opposed by some nutcase Democrat who seems to be a clone of Cynthia McKinney.

REP. NANCY PELOSI: Yes, indeed. Finally we will be able to take a vote on the floor to clean up the political system. I say of Washington it was built on a swamp and it’s swamp to swamp in two centuries. We absolutely owe it to the American people, they expect it, they deserve it, for us to clean the slate of this political system that takes their voices away.

"now for conyers....he should be next"

Harry Reid (D-NEV) should receive equal consideration.

That would really bite ole San Fran Nan and the rats. I'd like to see him behind bars the same day as William Jefferson (D) LA.

I can’t even read all of this post. It this had been a Republican they would have resigned, been tried, convicted and would already be serving their sentence.
What took so long Nancy??????

Off-subject.

FNC is announcing a small plane crash in Upland on Blossom Circle. Looks like it ran out of fuel, no fire or explosion.

Me, too.

The “nobody cares” story is a diversion, to fool the public into thinking the immigration issue is set, sealed and finished, and past arguing about.

The “Jefferson indicted” story is a bone thrown to the faithful, hoping they’ll be so happy that they’ll shut up about... that... other... thing....

The lesson? The elected ones will do anything to have their own way (no doubt for their OWN benefit), and don’t give a damn what the majority of the population thinks, becase they just think we’re too stupid to understand.

And this goes for both sides of the aisle.

So, when is he going to step down, and when will Queen Nancy ask him to resign?

Hmmmmmmmmmm.

Culture of corruption bump!
