#1 ...maintains his innocence.

Unfortunately for the Honorable Congressman, Johnnie Cochran is no longer available.

"If the money don't fit (in the freezer), you must acquit!"

#2 It's always about race. Ask Cynthia McKinney.

#3 Actually the Congressional Black Caucus does have a point. I can't remember his name but a Representative from West Virgina is under indictment but has not been confronted by the Democratic leadership to vacate his seat on a committee.

#4 There have been no charges or indictments against Rep. Jefferson to date. The rule of law states that one is innocent until proven guilty.

Usually the Dems would use the above logic to defend one of their own to the death (but certainly not for a Republican). Could it be that it's an election year and we want to appear "Tough on Crime®"?

#5 Innocent? What about Tom DeLay and the Dems' howl for his head?

#6 Deacon, the distinguished gentleman from the great state of West Virginia stepped down from his position on the ethics committee.

#8 I just wish they couldn't be bought so cheaply. It oughtta cost you several hundreds of millions of dollars to buy a Congresscritter, not 100K wrapped in tinfoil. That's pitiful.

#9 Thanks, Sea, the last I had heard he was refusing to do so. The Congressional Black Caucus now has no reason to bitch.
