Let me get this straight. Pelosi has committed a "crime," but the only penalty is that the politicians who double-dipped from her two PACs have to return the money.

Surely the person who organizes and presides over a criminal conspiracy should bear the largest share of the guilt and should be prosecuted.

If Pelosi gets off scot-free, then it appears to me that the election laws are fundamentally biased toward the Democrats. Because if a Republican did something like this, he would be blasted by all the media and forced out of office. But if a Democrat does it, the media say nothing and, having gotten away with it once, they will simply be encouraged to do it again.

Note that this story is posted here on a conservative web site from CNS news, a small conservative news service. Very few voters will see it. Don't count on Dan Rather or Perky Katie to report it to their listeners.

"2Pac" Pelosi. We have a winner!

That is one we have to spread around, she surely deserves
a nickname.

"2Pac" Pelosi, Gangsta Playa of the DNC.

Didn't the dems go after Tom Delay hard one year and wanted to bring him up on ethics charges (the media covered this heavily)over a PAC? Hmmm...let's see if the New York Times or Washington Post puts this on their front page first. Maybe Time magazine will investigate?

Person accused of theft, to attorney, after non-guilty verdict comes in: Does this mean I don't have to give the money back?

This is just too sweet, I know it gets better than this but this is good. Just when you think the Democrats can't possibly look any more un-American, they suprise yet again.

We knew this the first time her name was mentioned but no one in the media let it out.

Probably another dumb Dem move.

Most of the world never heard of Pelosi until a week ago, and now, I hope, the immediate connection to Dem corruption sets in

On Brit Hume yesterday, Mort Krondracke made the comment that "Nancy Pelosi is very good a raising money...some of it illegally." This could get interesting.

The Democrats will say that this is another example of Republicans over-reaching after winning what they think is a mandate. The Democrats will learn that the best time to push the limits of the law is right around an election: if they win then they control the outcome of any investigation, and if they lose they claim partisan witch-hunting by Republicans.

Watch, and learn.

Excuse me, but she's a Democrat - Laws don't apply to her....

Should be interesting to watch the next two years and the obvious connection to PAC money. Everyone will be watching her and what she does....which means more news time...but very negative news.

To Democrats, political wrongdoing is a badge of (barf) honor. Just as long as they get elected, doesn't matter how. Babs Strident and the gang will rally round Nancy and pony up even more cash now that Pelosi's in a position of power.
