Good. I'm sorry the guy didn't voluntarily step down.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - House Democrats voted on Thursday to remove Rep. William Jefferson from a powerful committee while federal investigators weigh possible bribery charges against the Louisiana Democrat.
Jefferson will not be forced off the tax-writing Ways and Means Committee unless the entire House of Representatives votes to do so.
The secret vote demonstrated Democrats' determination to distance themselves from the New Orleans lawmaker at a time when they hope to capitalize on Republican corruption scandals to win control of Congress in November's elections.
The scary thing is people don't give a damn about corruption. I think they expect it now.
Our quote of the day goes to Nancy Pelosi-
"Passing judgment on your peers is very, very difficult, but it is necessary," said House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of California. "I told all my colleagues -- anybody with $90,000 in the freezer, you have a problem at that point."
So let that be a lesson to all you politicians- don't keep the money in the freezer!
You'd think they would teach them that in politician school.
