[...] Actually, that standing O might have had nothing to do with Jefferson. I haven’t blogged Conyers’s ethics scandal because there’s really no point in doing so: having passed over Alcee Hastings for Intel chair last month and stripped Jefferson of his seat on the Ways and Means Committee in June, ain’t no way no chance no how Pelosi is going to move against another black congressman in a leadership position. She might have alienated enough House members by opposing Hoyer that she can’t afford to antagonize the CBC now too. That round of applause for Jefferson might have been their way of showing solidarity just in case she’s thinking of booting Conyers. [...]

What’s wrong with you people! Has your outrage replaced reason? Jefferson should have stayed right where he was.

Don’t you see Pelosi and the Dem leadership moved him out because he was a complete embarrassment. Had he remainted the GOP could have plastered his face all over the web and in political ads that would have made them and their “culture of corruption” mantra the laughing stock of the electorate!

To remove him took away a HUGE club the GOP could have used to beat them over the head from now until November!

People, watch what you pray for?

Asked if he thought race was a factor in Pelosi’s decision, Jefferson replied before the vote, “It’s not happened before. The first time it’s happening, it’s happening to an African-American.”

I didn’t know he was born in Africa and emigrated to America. On second thought, maybe it’s another ruse.

“Pelosi only wants him stripped from the committee position. When a Republican does it (like Cunningham), they have to resigh their seat!” -dman

Don’t forget jail. How much was it again? 90k in the freezer all wrapped up nice and neat with foil and all; ready to be thawed. And that is most likely just the start of it. I truly hope this guy joins Cunningham as one of the MANY, THE STUPID, THE JAILED!

Pelosi acted in no small part because of the corner she and the rest of the democrats have painted themselves into. They’ve hammered the ‘culture of corruption’ theme so much that to take no action would have really undermined their position even more so than Jefferson has already done.

Of course, taking action undermines democrats position with the CBC and possibly some of their voters.

Tough break, Nancy.

So Pelosi should be lauded all of a sudden for doing her job???? Democratic housecleaning? Isn’t that truly the proverbial deck chair off the Titanic?

Ouch Gary on June 16, 2006 at 2:59 PM, funny too. … He should’ve put his dough in his extra FEMA hotel room fridge as well. Anyway…… bcak to poker.
How many race cards are in that deck? Is it a Vegas 6 deck shoe? Damm too many for sure.
I agree with Cary above also, no kudos for doing the right thing. It is what we EXPECT from our leaders. Everyday. You can’t tell me they dont know of that going in either. Every politician is aware of ,and should stand beside, higher standards HONOR. Or get out.

Do I hear some one whisper….”culture of corruption….”?

Of course not. In past twenty years, the majority of lawmakers convicted for corruption is still….Democrats…but…there is no culture of corruption in the Democratic Party.

The dems keep the blacks in the freezer until election time when they thaw them out long enough to vote. Then, it’s back in the fridge.

You aren’t suppose to get points for simply doing the right thing. That is like someone giving me an award for going 30 years without committing murder; or giving me extra money just to show up to work on time. What kind of half baked BS is that? Don’t enable these freakin’ people please. She HAD TO call for removal. Don’t forget that these were the same people wanting to give back all the evidence the FBI seized; and seized LAWFULLY I might add.

The Dems get no kudos from me on this one. They get: It’s about damn time you did something right!

Oh my gosh! The democrats treat whites different than blacks! Somebody quick call the NAACP. Or better yet call the first black President (Clinton).

Blacks will always be taken for granted in the Democratic party until the voters choose for themselves, who shall represent them. American blacks need to wake up and smell what’s cooking. They have no voice really representing them.

I attribute no nobility to Pelosi’s move at all. It’s hard to sqwack ‘Kulture of Kurruption’, ‘Kulture of Kurruption’ with the likes of Jefferson under the glare of the media. It’s politics, plain and simple.

It just goes to show that underclass voters make really bad political decisions. But wait, we will have 20 million more underclass voters soon. (OOps, I forgot about having the “politically correct” Nazi jack boot on my throat).

Stupid is forever and you can’t fix stupid. My life experience has made that reality crystal clear, and to deal with the problem we must face the cruel facts. America is a tough economy to compete in, and the ones that struggle the most need a different approach than we use now.

Maybe there should be a White Caucus. Wonder how long that would last before the screams got too loud?

The primary goal of the Black Caucus is to play the race/victim card every chance they get. *YAWN*

they did a good thing, they made a move that was required by duty and then they take a cheap shot. And by doing such, they lose their good will.

The disgusting thing is how LONG it took them to dump this scum-bag, thief!

Does anyone remember how fast Trent Lott got dumped? It was a matter of DAYS. And all HE did was make a purported off color remark, NOT take hundreds of thousands in bribes!

I’m Black. So gimme preference in education, a job, housing, slave reparations, and if you prosecute me for a crime, you are racist!

I’m Hispanic, so gimme preference in education, a job, housing, and if you prosecute me for crossing the border illegally, you are racist!

I’m a Kennedy, so gimme a ride home when I drive into the drink, assault women, drive drunk or on drugs, and if you prosecute me for any of these things, we will get you!

But we “regular Americans” have had it “up to here” with the Black Caucus, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and all of the race-baiters who never left the 1964 civil rights era. Jefferson was caught with $90,000 of alleged bribe money in his freezer. Why freeze money, unless it’s “too hot?” Now he’s trying desperately to claim the FBI had no jurisdiction or right to raid his office and seize documents. And that was RACIST? Gimme a break!

Jefferson’s claims and those of the Black Caucus belong on the compost heap. It’s time that Washington insiders learned that they really aren’t any more special than are we. Treat them no differently. Demand that they live by the same rules. And ignore groups like the Black Caucus, NAACP, CAIR, and any other that makes special demands and demands special treatment for one group over another.
