Nancy Pelosi (D-Psycho) says that there is a "culture of corruption" amongst Republicans in the US Congress.
Unfortunately for Pansy Nancy, she missed some of that corruption amongst her fellow dimwitted Downies.
Ex-Jefferson aide pleads guilty, to testify in federal bribery case
WASHINGTON -- A former aide to Rep. William Jefferson, D-New Orleans, pleaded guilty Wednesday in federal court and has agreed to cooperate with an investigation into an alleged conspiracy to funnel money to the eight-term congressman and members of his family.
Brett Pfeffer, 37, told U.S. District Judge T.S. Ellis III that a congressman, identified in court only as "Representative A," lobbied high-ranking officials in Nigeria and Ghana to use technology developed by a small U.S.-based telecommunication company and pressed the Export-Import Bank of the United States to approve loan guarantees. In exchange, Pfeffer said, the congressman demanded a share of the new company created to facilitate the deal.
The MSM has had a field day reporting on the alleged ethical problems of Rep. Tom DeLay of Texas. When (not if) Jefferson is indicted, how many of them will do stories on a top Downie being nabbed? How will they play it? How about not at all?
