Yawn.
Unbelievable.
And I thought it was because they were crooks.
There are plenty of white corrupt lawmakers they could add to the investigations to show equal treatment. Murtha, Pelosi, Barney Frank and more. I think Murtha is actually being probed.
It starts early, too. In my children’s schools the black
children were the one’s who tended to misbehave and steal
from the other children. Also, the black children received
lesser punishments or benefited from getting the benefit
of the doubt. Which probably created a mentality of no
repercussions for misbehavior.
“Members of the Congressional Black Caucus are still fuming over Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s decision to oust then-Rep. William Jefferson (D-La.) from the House Ways and Means Committee in 2006”
Yeah, because reluctantly ousting a guy who keeps large sums of questionably sourced money in his freezer could be nothing but racist.
What a great strategy by the Dems. Only focusing on ethics violations of black lawmakers delegitimizes the entire process, therefore none of the investigations is valid.
Isn’t Murtha under investigation? If he isn’t, he damn well should be.
No, they are perfectly correct.
There is a racial disparity that we need to correct.
Perhaps they would be willing to provide the names of the white members that they would like investigated.
Lets start with Mr. Frank !!!
and Mr. Murtha !!!
and then on to the Fran Nan !!!
Could it be that EVERY democrat lawmaker is corrupt?
And that almost all of the black congressmen are democrats?
a CONVICTED person...
Have they handed down the sentence yet?
You missing a *barf alert* in the title, there, FRiend?
[insert racist truism here]
I don’t think so - it’s only been 3+ years - what’s the rush, right?
Hmmmmm. Coincidence?
Then the Ethics Committee needs to try a little harder - I'm sure there's plenty of crooked white politicians on the Hill too.
Well, the next time I meet them in a smoky back room I will request they commit more crime, just for the sake of "parity".
"...I think Murtha is actually being probed..."
Murthat was investigated in the 80s. He was guilty of accepting bribes. He got off on a technicality. I think it was "Abscam".
Oh, and Barney Frank IS currently being probed, but it has nothing to do with ethics violations; it's more of a personal request by him.
By franks?
HMMM: Maybe because they are guilty?
