Go, Boehner! You asked for the job, now prove to us that you really deserve it.
Nancy Pelosi campaigned on the issue of the culture of corruption. Does she think that only Republicans have done things that are corrupt or criminal?
Jefferson should resign his House Seat just as Cunningham, Ney and DeLay did right after they were indicted.
Evidently 'Old Freezer Bag' hasn't quite comprehended that his spinning days are over.
Clearly, this is a case of racism. The FBI planted the money in Jefferson’s freezer. See, anytime a black man makes it in this society the white man has gotta take him down.
This is Al Sharpton’s take.
Sharpton, by the way, still claims the FBI video of Al offering to sell drugs for money was merely a case of him going along so he could become a spy on the bad guys.
What a world.
And I hope he does request Jefferson’s expulsion. But he should not have to; Jefferson should resign. Chances? None.
No deal. Take him down and do it fast. No deal.
‘Republican Minority Leader John Boehner (news, bio, voting record) of Ohio was pushing for a vote later Tuesday on a resolution to bar Jefferson from serving on any House committee and to direct the ethics committee to decide by July 11 whether the allegations in the indictment merit his expulsion, according to a partial draft of the document obtained by The Associated Press. ‘
Excellent politics, Mr Boehner. Get the Democrats on record not doing a thing about this miscreant.
He might take down the entire black caucus.
Its not like Do Nothing Nancy can’t find another corrupt DemoGraft to take his place. Wonder how much Levy Money he stole before the flood??
Pray for W and Our Troops
From 2004...
Congressional Black Caucus's Ties to Aristide Questioned
Follow the money....
He best make sure his insurance is paid up if he does that. That dude will end up in a ditch in Arkansas with 69 bullets in his back.
And the medical examiner will rule it a suicide.
Hastert like a damn fool sought to shield the dirt-bag from Justice.
The Justice Dept takes until now to nail this crook. Are the re-pubs retarded at politics?
