Ok. Since apparently a Dem getting indicted doesn't provoke a response on this forum (and I've given it a couple weeks), what do you all think of Congressman William Jefferson and his indictment for bribery?
We're not talking about shifting money around from one campaign donation fund to another. We're not even talking about a "I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine" real estate deal. We're talking about bundles of cash in a freezer. Straight up money for favors. What does this do to the Dems promise to clean up Congress? How does this damage their position on the so-called "culture of corruption" issue?
Another interesting point. Why did this *not* become big news during the last election cycle (when it actually occured), but magically got delayed until about the best time possible for the Dems (late enough after the start of the year not to impact their "first X days" stuff, and early enough that it'll all have blown over for the election in a year and a half.
Ok. I find it interesting anyway. But then I'm already pretty convinced that most of the mainstream media essentially shill for the Dems already...
