Damocrats

Rep. William Jefferson tossed the democrats a hanging breaking ball and they swung and missed.

This corrupt representative took bribes in the amount of 100,000 dollars and stashed it in his freezer. The FBI filmed him accepting the extortion money (or pay-to-play money if you prefer).

The FBI then obtained a warrant and searched his office.

Unless you want to argue that Congress should be above the law, then there is no basis for opposing the actions of the FBI.

That doesn't stop Nancy Pelosi from joining Dennis Hastert in a fit of pique, though, in a bipartisan moment of utter ridiculousness:

Return of Jefferson Files Is Sought

Since I believe that Justice is the one word that can best describe the democratic party (when it is successful), it is easy to see that Nancy Pelosi is damaging democrats chances of winning influence in November. What she ought to do is cut ties and denounce Rep. Jefferson's activities, cut off his reelection funding, and personally see to it that a terrific candidate runs against him.

As to his race, the color at issue is green, not black. Mr Jefferson shamed his party and if anyone should be mad at him it is the Congressional Black Caucus (unless they want to take the ludicrous position that it is racist to prosecute a crook if he is black).

I think that ethical education in our schools is long overdue. It can be rationally-based and secular in nature and would help Americans distinguish good behavior from bad in times like these.

A man caught stealing from the public should not seek our apologies.
