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.

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?
