WILLIAM JEFFERSON (D-LA)
Why is this indicted congress person STILL WALKING FREE AROUND THE CAPITAL BUILDING.
I don't see the media salivating over this guy who took bribes and then USED OUR MILITARY to ferry him out of LA with his bribery loot in his refrigerator.
It's the usual .. only the repubs are constantly harassed - but the dems always get a free ride. I'm sick of it.
It's so bad I can't even watch FOX today because it's nonstop Foley every other word out of their mouths.
Not an email scandal, this is an INSTANT MESSAGING SCANDAL.
It is so tough dealing with the ingnorance of reporters. Have they even mastered the difference between pencil and ball point pen?

the Real fifi:
Clarice Feldman, author of the article you posted has very interesting comments on this BLOG:

Wow... This article nails it to the wall.
It was a coordinated release, with "CREW" and "ABC" tag-teaming to time this release for maximum negative impact on Republicans. House leadership knew nothing of the IM's until friday and acted promptly once they did know. they knew only of tamer emails. the timing of the release by ABC was a 'setup'. these are *3 YEARS OLD* communications, someone had the info and held onto it.
"As soon as the ABC story ran, and organization called C.R.E.W., which said it had the original exchange which Hastert had heard of and the St Peterburg paper had seen, put them on their website .They said they’d earlier conveyed them to the FBI, were releasing them because of the ABC story, and asked for the appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate the Republican leadership.It is abundantly clear to me that C.R.E.W. and ABC communicated and may have coordinated the release of this story."
Who is CREW?
"One target of Republican criticism is Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), the group that last year assisted former Rep. Chris Bell (D-Texas) in drafting an ethics complaint against DeLay, which resulted in an admonishment of DeLay from the ethics committee. At last week’s press conference, Melanie Sloan, CREW’s executive director, said that DeLay should step down as majority leader.
From 1995 to 1998, CREW’s Sloan served as minority counsel for the House Judiciary Committee under Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.). Before that, Sloan served as the nominations counsel on the Senate Judiciary Committee under Sen. Joe Biden (D-Del.).
According to GOP research, Mark Penn, who had been a pollster for President Clinton, and Daniel Berger, a major Democratic donor, are on CREW’s board. Spokeswoman Naomi Seligman declined several requests to reveal the membership of CREW’s board, although she confirmed that Penn and Berger are members. Last year, Berger made a $100,000 contribution to America Coming Together (ACT), a 527 group that was dedicated to defeating Bush in the presidential election, according to politicalmoneyline.com, a website that tracks fundraising."
The ultimate insult will come when "Freezer Bag" Congressman Jefferson demands an immediate inquiry in why this homosexual pedophile was allowed to stay in office.
"C.R.E.W. is one of four “public interest” organizations which the RNC has long identifed as major recipients of George Soros richly-funded Open Society Institute. It is backing the risible Wilson/Plame civil suit against Cheney and others."

Great article and yes, it is all extremely fishy. The final paragraph indicates how enraged the writer (Clarice Feldman) is and she has outlined her arguments well.
But the above quote tells me all I need to know....Soros.
