Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs

Congressman William Jefferson (D.-La.) is running against six other candidates today in his district's Democratic primary. Jefferson, 61, was indicted last year in a federal court in Virginia on allegations that he took bribes, laundered money and misused his congressional office for business dealings in Africa.

Didn't he get re-elected a couple years ago - after his Katrina activities?

If he as a republican the press would have been all over him and he would have been forced to resign.

Where is all those "ethical" Democrats now? I guess it is only un-ethical when it is to their political advantage.

So much for America. Which side is more corrupt?

When one of ours goes bad we shoot them ...when one of the Dems go bad ..they give them a Chairmans seat.

Or the Leadership - (Pelosi and her 100K Husband)

Lots of folks with their hands out in Louisiana.. He will get the job back. Just do like Obama.. Promise the world and give every one $1000.....

Let's see the stats...

1. He's a thief
2. He's getting over on whitey
3. He's black
4. He's a democrat
5. Liberals don't have near-enough balls to critisize him

The verdict: Victory by landslide!

Keep up the good work, Jefferson.

If he as a republican the press would have been all over him and he would have been forced to resign.

Like Ted Stevens?

Cajuns have a high tolerance for incompetence. Just ask Mayor Nagin.

You have to remember, People saw (and when I say people, I mean african-americans) "WITH THEIR VERY OWN EYES" Marion Barry smoking crack cocaine with a whore and still elected him to public office. Blacks don't care about crime, or corruprion, their country, their neighborhoods...It is all about getting something they feel they are owed and electing blacks no MATTER WHAT, is their way of getting it. he will win

No - Like Tom DeLay (which was proven he did nothing wrong) Bill Ney, Katherine Harris, Rick Santorum who recieved 500K loan for his house from a backer (sound familiar - how about Obama and his 1.8M loan from a backer and a convicted felon Rezco?), Abramoff and Conrad Burns for the accepting of donations...

But how about Pelosi and her load - or 100K payment to her husband - she is still there. Or Alan Mollohan D WV - Who funneled House Appropriations money into his pocket - to the tune of 6.3M making Abramoff look like a piker.

Or John Conyers who got his wife a position where she was taking kickbacks on Detroit Sewage disposal.

Or how about:


1 Senators
1.1 Sen. Bob Menendez (D-New Jersey)

2 Representatives
2.1 Rep. Bob Filner (D-California)
2.2 Rep. Jane Harman (D-California)

You want REAL CRIMINALS - How about these:

NEW YORK Two Barack Obama advisers, Franklin Raines and James Johnson, received preferential home loans as industry favors, apparently in deference to their executive positions heading Fannie Mae.

"Rules 'bent' to provide Obama advisers loans
Fannie Mae CEOs Raines, Johnson got exemptions from standard requirements"

Raines and Johnson, as "friends of Angelo Mozilo," the chief executive of Countrywide Financial Corp. the now bankrupt high-flying loan originator in the sub-prime mortgage debacle were funneled millions of dollars for personal home loans. Mozilo himself made exceptions from Countrywide policy to provide the two Fannie Mae CEO's "sweetheart deals."

"''These two entities -- Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac -- are not facing any kind of financial crisis,'' said Representative Barney Frank of Massachusetts, the ranking Democrat on the Financial Services Committee. ''The more people exaggerate these problems, the more pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms of affordable housing.'' ...Representative Melvin L. Watt, Democrat of North Carolina, agreed... ''I don't see much other than a shell game going on here, moving something from one agency to another and in the process weakening the bargaining power of poorer families and their ability to get affordable housing,'' Mr. Watt said.

"To suggest somehow that [Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac] are in trouble is simply not accurate," Dodd replied.


Chris Dodd and Barney Frank need to RESIGN as does JEFFERSON, PELOSI, MENENDEZ, MOLLOHAN

But none of you will call for that because your alligence to the DEMS far out weigh any alligence to your country (which most of you hate) - and power means everything. BAAA BAAA OBAAAMAAA OOOOBAAAAMAAAA

Are any of those Dems under indictment? Not that they aren't crooks, but you stated that a Republican in the same situation, under indictment, as Jefferson is, would be forced to resign. Ted Stevens is facing 7 felony counts and has not resigned.

You can name everyone in Congress as crooks if you like. I won't argue that point.

We Will never get rid of these crooks until we go up there and get them ourselves, ..I believe the constitution say something about "the people" overthrowing it when they get tyrannical, i think that means corrupt too... Man, I never thought I'd hear myself saying this...they all have blood on there hands from this, and they look us in the eye and say 'it wasn't me it was him...

This is a guy who needs to lose. Forget he's black, forget about Republicans, step up and dump his corrupt ass. Select a different Democrat, what's so difficult about that? All six of them can't be useless and starting off corrupt.

Anybody who thinks DeLay did nothing wrong and was not a corrupt sleazebag is a wilfully blind Rethug, has not been paying attention or is stupid. Maybe all three.

Shouldn't his sorry ass be in jail already?

Dear FOSHITTER:
Tom Delay's trial hasn't even happened, you should wipe off all your premature exclamation.

Maybe you should stick to wildly exaggerating budget numbers, you do that one thing well.

I see the astroturfers tripped over themselves to be first to reply to this thread...in a month, we won't hear from most of them again.

Not so full of 'it haffer,

Everyone that voted for this obscene bailout should be fired in November. These assholes have made the problem worse, with virtually no discussion.

Its obvious to most casual observor. Yet from Bush to Obama, McCain to Pelosi, their interests lie elsewhere.

For you fuck on the Right to question Rep. Jefferson right to serve, is laughable. The people will have that decision. Your President has caused the death of 4,000 Americans maybe as many as 1,000,000 Iraqis deaths an the displacement of 3,000,000 citizens of Iraq , how do you fucking pricks sleep at night????

Like a baby...because i know you lefties lie. Did you know in our Civil war, 4.5 million people were displaced..You gonna bad mouth Lincoln?...Just be quiet and let the men take care of killing the bad guys..You metrosexuals just go find your self a latte and make sure you get your manicure this weekend

Foshitter-Ney in jail.
Cunningham in jail.
Harris defeated in senate race.
Santorum defeated inb senate race.
Ted Stevens indicted and running. Republican, of course.
Try inserting reality in to your rants once a decade or so...

Don't forget JD Heyworth, I live in his District and in 2006, I did not vote for him..Because he was a crook.. I got Harry Mitchell who is an absolute Idiot..But I could not vote for a crook. Unlike Democrats who have to be retards

Jefferson the thief, is the type of hero who get re-elected in the black community. He's another OJ and it's a chance to stick it to whitey!

"HILLBILLYJIHAD"....What Country did the 4.5 Million American that were displaced in the Civil war go to???? You ignorant fuck go back to bed with your Sister or Mother an leave this conversation to someone that may have something to offer....FUCKING ONE TOOTH HILLBILLY IDIOT!!!!

Back in tne Civil war, i think being displaced from Atlanta and having to travel to say Savannah, was a great hardship.. they couldn't just hope in the Volvo and travel down I-95..I think being displaced, is being displaced..No matter if it is from country to country or city to city..how many people in Katrina were 'displaced'...You dumb f***

Hillbillyjihad, you sound like you're adutioning for the role of the title character in a remake of "Forrest Gump."

OK, you've got the role.

Now, repeat after me: "Lieff iss jess layk uh bawx a choco-lates: Ya nevah know whut ya gonna git."

He's got it! By George, he's got it!

Anyone know the results? I did a couple online searches and haven't come across the primary result.

Found through your article:

It's an AP story so I'll only quote the headline.

Indicted Congressman Makes Runoff
www.nytimes.com

Looks like ~25%, which makes him #1.

Fascinating.

The family that steals together stays together. The Democrat Party - minority faction - funnels its profits through "non-profits, which allegedly have been skimmed by Jefferson family members for hundreds of thousands of dollars, among other things.

His brother, sister, and niece have all been indicted.

Do you recall the "cold cash," some $90,000 found in Rep. Jefferson's refrigerator?

www.politico.com

The Jefferson family thievery is small potatoes. They just aren't as sophisticated as those members of the federal legislatures, who blatantly benefit themselves far more without exposing themselves to criminal liability because of the methods they use for self-enrichment.

The Democrats don't want to alienate the "Black Caucus" at this juncture, and so will not act against Congressman Jefferson because his faction will support him. And I think it would be prudent to bet the farm that black voters will re-elect a black official regardless of his actions so long as he cries "prejudice," and "racism," which solicitations garner support for him as they give rise to an emotive response rather than a response involving ratiocination.

The entire Congress, both houses, is corrupt as is the executive. It is filled with self-serving people, who see the people of this country as sheep to be sheared, and manipulated so that the elected officials retain their offices. The elected officials are chameleons, who publicly adopt whatever policies are necessary to secure their re-election.

As the legislative and executive become institutionalized over time, more and more participants with greater and greater Machiavellian components to their personas, are drawn to the activity. But these institutions endure and shake-out time is probably a far way off.


Cajuns have a high tolerance for incompetence. Just ask Mayor Nagin.

Actually, you should use the reference "Creole" since Cajuns are a minority in New Orleans. Creoles give off that that Chocolate attribute the Nagin, personally, required.

However, Cajuns, DO have a high tolarance of incompetence. They elected a Democrat by the name of Edwin Edwards (no relation), who resides in Federal prison.

A million?

Man, that's a lot. Heck. Just last year, it was only somewhere between 400-600 thousand according to statatician Buffalo Bob. Now we've done gone and killed 600-400 thousand more?

We've been busy.

That country should be empty of Iraqi's pretty soon.

Then we can build McDonalds and steal their oil.

Bush IS a genious!

Still not spell checking or proof-reading your posts, eh Celisary? You, sir, are a gold-mine of comedy.

Are you still trying to convince people to come to your side, or have you given that up for the opportunity to type in all caps and claim everyone is a racist?
