[...] Is the Congressional Black Caucus becoming part of the problem and less relevant after giving “Dollar Bill” Jefferson a standing ovation? [...]

[...] Allah has a kinder take on the CBC motivations: Actually, that standing O might have had nothing to do with Jefferson. I didn’t blog 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 alienated enough House members by opposing Hoyer that she can’t afford to antagonize the CBC now too. That round of applause for Dollar Bill might have been their way of showing solidarity just in case she’s thinking of booting Conyers. [...]

[...] All I could do was shake my head when I saw this, unfortunately more evident of just how screwed up these idiot Negro Democrat politicians are. Is dudes office staffed by a bunch of fucken retards or what? I’ll give him a standing ovation for this. Just for having the sheer balls to do it. Some Democratic aides were downright aghast at Jefferson’s audacity at using franked envelopes, official letterhead and the House internal mail service in a blatant violation of House rules… [...]

These perpetual victims disgust me and do not represent the views of many Blacks with common sense.

Soothsayer on January 4, 2007 at 8:20 PM

Soothsayer, agreed. So how is it that the only blacks elected to congress are corrupt idiots with a victim complex? Why does that posture work for voters (or do they turn into idiots after they caucus?) ?

Reelecting this guy and reelecting the people in the state of New Orleans floored me. Definitely shows stoooopidity.

People have seriosly gone to lunch! I am glad though that they voted out that loon McKinney.

To show support for anyone solely on the basis of color, rather than qualifications or professional record, is racism. Plain and simple.

You mean like the many people on this blog who supported Michael Richards even though I’m the only one who knows him? Or the people on this blog that supported Trent Lott or Rush Limbaugh or perhaps you mean those on this blog who were gushing about how good a cop, MARK FURHMAN is! I know what you mean fella, I know what you mean…..

Seems to me he meant just what he said, and your attempted misdirection is disingenuous. You’re saying that people who supported Richards, Lott, Limbaugh, or Fuhrman did so on the basis of pigmentation? Or are you saying that they are all bigots who don’t deserve anyone’s support? Or both? No, please, forget I asked.

Voiceofreason made his point as clearly as should have been necessary. Supporting anyone or anything, or the avoidance of supporting anyone or anything, based on skin color is racism. Making such a decision or judgement based on ANY unmerited attribute is prejudicial.

HOW long does it take for the FBI to put this guy on trial???This guy will leave congress with a 100k pension when he is all done anyways no matter what happens. Pure clean smaeo,sameo, BS for both house of cogress when someone is corrupt. Why do we,the tax payers always get the short end of the stick????

bones47 on January 4, 2007 at 9:47 PM

Brcause we, collectively, do not complain loudly enough about it.

No criticism, just the facts – when Americans collectively say, “enough!” to travesties of justice such as this then there can be change.

But not until then.

[...] Post from Hot Air Identity politics knows nothing of $90,000 stashed in freezers. On the same day that the 110th Democratic-led Congress convenes with a plan to immediately pass lobbyist and ethics reforms, the Congressional Black Caucus Thursday gave a standing ovation to Rep. William Jefferson, the Louisiana Democrat who faces an FBI probe into bribery allegations. [...]

This is a joke, right? This slob needs to be in a jail cell as quickly as possible, and the press will not report it until he is in there, if even then. The man is not only a criminal he is a fraud, a traitor and a total discrace to the American people!

Uhhhhm They belong to the party that turned Paul Wellstones funeral into a campaign stop, you’re suprised? Exactly when has the CBC shown the slightest bit of integrity or judgement? To these idiots, Jefferson didn’t do anything wrong! It’s just the Man that ’s on his case! This perpetual victims disgust me and do not represent the views of many Blacks with common sense.

That only counts if you are white, honey.

Black people just can’t be racist!
They are the only ones that can be victimised by racism, as the minority, right?

I’m glad the Congressional Black Caucus is setting such a fine example for young blacks to emulate. Between rappers, thug NBA players and crooked Congressman, what’s a young kid to think?

darwin on January 4, 2007 at 4:07 PM
They think they should join the democratic party. Hey, no responsibility, and plenty of b*tches and hoes. And one less son-of-a-bitch hanging around.
Deomocrats more racist than the KKK (oops, the KKK is Democrat).

I dunno, try this for correctional entertainment – this is what passes for corrections in ohio.
