Nancy Pelosi has called for an ethics investigation of Representative Bill Jefferson. It looks like she was intimidated by this post the other day.
The story is from the AP:
Pelosi says ethics committee should investigate Jefferson
Posted 5/5/2006 11:38 AM ET
WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic Rep. William Jefferson should be investigated by the House ethics committee, Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi said following the second guilty plea from a federal probe of alleged bribery involving the Louisiana congressman.
Pelosi, D-Calif., said at a news conference that she had not spoken directly to Jefferson about the investigation. "But he knows what is going on, and the ethics committee should investigate what is going on."
Of course, Ms. Pelosi always tries to leave 'em laughing:
At the same time, Pelosi sought Thursday to differentiate the Jefferson case from what Democrats have labeled the "culture of corruption" linking the Republican majority and special interests represented by disgraced former lobbyist Jack Abramoff. "The Republicans are all tied together," she said. "Mr. Jefferson is his own behavior, he is responsible for it."
So the Republicans are all tied together, but Bill Jefferson, um... 'is his own behavior...' Is English her first language?
Are Alan Mollohan, Charlie Schumer, Cynthia McKinney, Jim McDermott, Harry Reid, and John Conyers also 'their own behavior?'
Back to the top.
