BOSTON (AP) -- The Massachusetts Senate has unanimously passed a resolution urging a member accused of taking bribes to resign.

State Sen. Dianne Wilkerson was arrested by the FBI earlier this week and charged in federal court with accepting $23,500 from undercover agents she thought were businessmen.

Photographs taken by the FBI allegedly show the Boston Democrat stuffing cash under her sweater and inside her bra.

I’m fairly certain that the Senate can just toss her out, if it wishes to do so.

Well, no doubt, if this person resigns, it’’ll make the Senate a better place(yeah, right).

The time to save the sanctity of the Mass State Senate passed it by a LONG time ago.

Those creeps would steal hot soup if they could get their hands on it.

If she resigns, rather than being stripped of office, she probably gets to keep her pension and health care benefits. Despicable woman, despicable Demrat Party.
