No Runny Eggs

Out-of-control Congress protecting the most-corrupt of their own

by steveegg @ 10:25 on May 24, 2006. Filed under Law and order, Politics - National.

It really shouldn’t be much of a surprise that the RepubicRAT half of the Party In Government is backing ethically-challenged Louisiana DemocRAT Representative William Jefferson in his battle to remain in office and free of corruption charges despite videotape evidence that he accepted a $100,000 bribe and convictions of his associates on charges of bribing him, going so far as to threaten a legal challenge to a search warrant execution on Jefferson’s Congressional office. After all, Congress exempts its members from just about every law they saddle the rest of America with.

    I can’t figure out if this is supposed to be a show of bipartisan ship or if they’re trying to cover themselves from any possible investigation.

    If I had to choose, I’d hope it’s the former. Either way, it stinks.
