Democrats give standing ovation for scumbag

Great comment made on Washington Post online chat

I understand Congressman Bill Jefferson was given a standing ovation from his colleagues in the Congressional Black Caucus, despite the $90,000 the FBI found in Tupperware in his freezer. Why do these details of Democratic ethics problems seem left out every time media personnel recount how Speaker Pelosi will bring "ethics reform" to the House?

Answer???

Seems to me I am constantly hearing about Jefferson and the investigation of alleged corruption. And I believe that Speaker Pelosi has banned Jefferson from any committee assignments.

Jefferson has not yet been indicted and was re-elected in his district. I wouldn't give hime a standing ovation. Sorry you're so upset that someone did.

one point to be made is that if Jefferson was a Republican he would have been beaten up in the media every single day until he quit, and if he didn't quit on that alone, he would have to because conservatives wouldn't vote for him

As Jim noted, he's been neutered, he's got no juice. Still it appears to me that the allegations are true. If so he shouldn't be in congress. He is some of the stink that needs to be purged.I wouldn't have voted for him.

If you don't think there has been and entire coordinated corporate(private contractors-drug bill, you name it) government money grab by this administration far in excess of anything in remotely recent history you are not paying attention. You and many other conservatives voted for them over and over.

Jim and Ron are all for Democrat corruption and never fail to support it.

Right on.

Democrat corruption is okay since they care "for the children."

Jim said...

Jason, are you at all sentient? Neither Ron nor I have ever indicated in any way that we condone or support corruption by anybody. To suggest that we do is a lie.

I pay attention and all I hear is accusations. I'd be happy to read some legitimate links supporting the above. Remember, it'll have to show how it's worse than anything in recent history. Just an isolated incident or two won't do it.

Jim and Ron, you support the corrupt William Jefferson. He not only accepted a bribe, the money found in his freezer, but during the worst of Katrina in New Orleans, Jefferson commadeered a National Guard 6 wheel drive, 2 and half ton truck and a squad of soldiers to save HIS Possessions.

Jefferson is very corrupt, and Ron and Jim give reflexive salutes and support to Jefferson and his Democrat culture of corruption.

Pathetic! Good one, it's in, thanks!

absurd thought -
God of the Universe says
Democrat corruption OK

Ron said...

PCD I said I think he is guilty and he ought to go and I wouldn't have voted for him. That is NOT supporting it. I know that doesn't fit your preconcieved idea of a liberal but you really should think before you write..you make no sense whatsoever....do you even read what is written or do you just have a "page of hate" that you copy from?

Jim--

It is not a lie that the liberal media slimed us for Mark Foley sending emails while Jefferson was getting away with almost murder.

And the kicker is that Foley resigned, and Jefferson did not.

Jim said...

Jason said, "liberal media slimed us". Slimed "us"? Who slimed you? Who is "us?" The media didn't slime anybody.

"almost murder"? Hyperbole maybe?
