On this morning's Fox and Friends, a Dem spokesperson was asked what the party was going to do about Jefferson. He had the nerve to say that Republicans had moved very slowly on Tom Delay. Tom Delay??? who has still never been convicted of anything illegal, probably didn't even do anything illegal and should never have quit IMHO. When Ney and Cunningham were indicted, they were gone immediately.
'Rat spokesman didn't want to hear about them, of course. Since fact-based truth means nothing to 'rats, this is typical. Jefferson's indictment will be old news by noon and smothered by Libbey's sentencing in tomorrows papers.
Bob Ney left Congress two months after he entered guilty pleas. Duke Cunningham resigned effective immediately after pleading guilty. They both quit after a conviction, not an indictment. Because I can't find any reference to either of them being indicted, it seems likely that both waived the indictment and struck plea bargains.
