"heh. cleaned that congress right up."
Just to clarify, this is not something that has just happened. It goes back before the start of this new congress. On May 24, 2006, knowing what he was accused of, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi publicly requested Jefferson's immediate resignation from the House Ways and Means Committee and on 15 June 2006, House Democrats voted to strip Jefferson of his committee assignment. Quite a bit different from how the Republicans handled Tom Delay.

Please, Jefferson didn't make a Faustian bargain with Satan, there's no way he can serve 200 years in jail.

Yes, they are cleaning Congress up.
And please remember that it was the Democrats who got the ball rolling on the Jefferson investigation. The Democrats then removed him from the Ways and Means committee, and Nancy Pelosi herself kept him from getting a seat on the committee.
Tell me about ONE time the corrupt leadership of the Republican Party policed its own thieves and profiteers.
Tell me ONE time.
ONE.

Posted: 6/4/07 at 2:49pmThe entire GOP rallied to the defense of Duke "Cry-Baby" Cunningham, whose crimes hurt the war effort and probably cost lives of American servicemen and -women.

Statement by Nancy Pelosi:
"The charges in the indictment against Congressman Jefferson are extremely serious. While Mr. Jefferson, just as any other citizen, must be considered innocent until proven guilty, if these charges are proven true, they constitute an egregious and unacceptable abuse of public trust and power. As we have demonstrated in implementing tough ethics reforms and passing tough lobbying reforms already this year, Democrats are committed to upholding a high ethical standard and eliminating corruption and unethical behavior from the Congress."
I don't recall a Republican speaking as forcefully anout Duke Cunningham or Tom DeLay.
