Nancy Pelosi’s much touted “Culture of Corruption” was originally conceived as a lily-white, Republicans only club that Democrats could point to with self-righteous indignation while claiming moral and ethical superiority. Unfortunately for Pelosi, the real poster child for corruption is an African-American Democrat named William J. Jefferson. For those who may have lost track, Jefferson is the U.S. Representative from Louisiana who was apparently caught on video accepting $100,000 in bribes, most of which allegedly ended up in Jefferson’s freezer. Because of his ethics challenges, Jefferson was unable to win outright re-election on November 7, and was thus pitted against Democrat Kate Carter in a runoff election held December 8. In an amazing recovery, Jefferson has come back to haunt Pelosi and the Democrats by handily winning that runoff election. With 96 percent of precincts reporting, Jefferson led Carter by 57 percent to 43 percent in the heavily Democratic black-majority district that takes in most of New Orleans and some close-in suburbs.

How about an investigation to determine if Jefferson used that $90,000 in frozen assets to fund his campaign? Or to capitalize on the season, why not invoke remembrances of the original Three Wise Men by sending Jefferson, John Murtha, and Alcee Hastings on a fact-finding mission to Baghdad---outside the “Green Zone?” All traveling with one-way tickets? Nancy Pelosi may ultimately overcome this bit of bad news. Still, it is comforting to know that her “Culture of Corruption” blathering may come back to haunt Pelosi in the form of William J. Jefferson.

michael moore says they will clean up their corrupt house first...
Now I have told you before it happens so that, when it happens, you may believe
12. We will not tolerate politicians who are corrupt and who are bought and paid for by the rich. We will go after any elected leader who puts him or herself ahead of the people. And we promise you we will go after the corrupt politicians on our side FIRST. If we fail to do this, we need you to call us on it. Simply because we are in power does not give us the right to turn our heads the other way when our party goes astray. Please perform this important duty as the loyal opposition.
