William Jefferson. You know him right? The guy caught with 90K in his freezer. The guy the FBI has on video taking bribe money from an undercover agent. In total up to 500K worth?
He has now been indicted.
Where is your outrage Dems? When Gonzales was put in testimony to answer to the firings of U.S. Attorneys, you Dems immediately called for his resignation before we really knew anything about what may have happened.
When Libby was "fingered" in the outing of Plame. Before there was any trial. Before there had been any testimony. You guy's wanted him hung up by his toenails. Fired and jailed.
So where is the strong language in regards to Jefferson? Where is your outrage? Where are the calls from prominent democrat leaders for his resignation?
Where? Where? Where?
I already know the answer. You guy's will never turn on your own no matter how badly they have conducted themselves. Bill Clinton is obvious proof of that.
I just want to hear you say it.

Stiggo?
There was plenty of outrage in regards to the Foley case. Most conservatives were very outspoken in their disgust. He immediately did the right thing and resigned, and we LET HIM. Why isn't Jefferson resigning? Why aren't you guy's calling for it. The evidence against him is very overwhelming.
Delay? That was a witch hunt. You know it, we know it. It was just the Dems trying to take down a very powerful and influential republican.

Map?
There was no crime committed by Scooter Libby until AFTER the congress made it a crime for what he was charged with.
Clinton ADMITTED doing what he did, yet still got off scott free. Libby maintained his innocence, and I still believe this to was a witch hunt.

Yes drixnot.
After all the clamoring and public outrage by the media and prominent Democratic leaders about Libby, Delay or Foley. You guy's are like, oh well, we'll see what happens. With a Republican, you guy's scream from the mountain tops about making them resign, castrating them, firing them or jailing them.

The Dems don't get outraged at themselves..EVER!
Anything goes as long as its THEM doing it!
All you hear is how GREAT Clinton was!...Please!
Clinton road an economy that was driven by the silicone age!...Nothing he did himself!
Its dead now!...
The unemployment rate is at its lowest in a loooong time!..My taxes are lower..Example:..$1000.00 child credit!..
The stock market has shot through the roof!
The Black community praised Clinton!...But he never actually did ANYTHING for them!...Just put on a great show for them!...and they bought it!
Bush was a horrible Pres. for not being quick enough during Katrina?
What happened to the Democratic Governor and Mayor?
Every Bus the city owned, was under water!..Why didn't they remove the poor from the city before the storm hit?
Guess that's Bushes fault?
More people died, disappeared, or was jailed during the Clinton years than any other president!...Democrats didn't say Sh*T!
They say the Republican party is only for BIG business??...What the hell do you think I work for?
By the way....William Jefferson just cried innocent!...That figures!...Kinda like...I NEVER INHALED!!!...Whatever FREAK!

Jefferson has been formally charged with several crimes and the prosecution is proceeding. I was pissed off at him a year ago when his offices were raided. Am I supposed to be perpetually outraged?
As for Libby, he was convicted of the same things that the Republicans tried to throw Clinton out for; obstruction of justice and perjury. I don't hear any outrage from republicans over Skooter. What I am hearing from the right is calls for a presidential pardon! Where is your outrage?
RESPONSE - If you lie to a grand jury that in itself is a crime. It doesn't matter whether or not there is merit to what it being investigated.

Where was the outrage from the republicans when Delay, Foley, etc etc got indicted? Oh, that's right. There was outrage at those who indicted them, not at those who committed the crimes. Notice you don't see democrats rushing to Jefferson's defense, saying that he's the victim of a partisan witch hunt. We're not obligated to be outraged, but at least we're decent enough not to be hypocrites and support him.

NOTHING OUTRAGES THE DEMS WHEN IT COMES TO ONE OF THEIR OWN. THIS IS A COMMON BUSINESS PRACTICE FOR THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. BRIBE ARE THE ORDER OF THE DAY JUST LAST WEEK A DEMOCRAT FROM BROOKLYN WAS SENT TO PRISON FOR BRIBE TAKING. THEIR WAS VERY LITTLE NEWS OR PUBLIC OUT CRY. I GUESS THIS IS THE BEHAVIOR THAT THE DEMS TOLERATE.
Former state Assemblyman Clarence Norman Jr., convicted of grand larceny in a scheme to shake down a judicial candidate, was sentenced to two to six years in prison yesterday. Norman, a longtime head of the Brooklyn Democratic Party, was led out of the court in handcuffs following his sentencing in Brooklyn.

He's up on charges what more is there to say? Are we supposed to be shocked that a politician from Louisiana is corrupt?

lots of people protect "their own"
there is enough blame to around, each party, each person
remember Iran Contra?
hmmmm
well, he needs to go, not because of party affiliation but because he is WRONG
the democrats probably just don't want to hurt another one
he needs to go...they are starting to distance themselves from him anyway
