NY Downie Charged with Corruption; Nancy Pelosi Calls for End to "Republican Culture of Corruption"
Another Downie simpleton is about to bite the dust: State Senator Efrain Gonzalez, Sr., of New York, was arrested on charges of fraud and corruption.
The media barely reported this, and Nancy Pelosi (D-Nutjob) was too busy writing reports on the "Republican culture of corruption" to comment.
NY State Senator Charged With Fraud
Of course, this was reported in as few places as is possible. Now if Gonzalez was a Republican, well, that would make all the difference.
CNN would be on their 12th hour long report on this, the latest Republican caught in Nancy Pelosi's "culture of corruption."

NY State Senator Charged With Fraud
A New York state senator was charged with defrauding a nonprofit organization to pay for baseball tickets, college tuition and other personal expenses, according to a federal indictment.
Sen. Efrain Gonzalez Jr., 58, a Democrat from the Bronx, pleaded not guilty Friday to mail fraud and was released on $25,000 bond. If convicted, he could receive up to 20 years in prison and a fine of $250,000.
"I'm going to fight this case," the senator said outside court.
The indictment accuses Gonzalez of defrauding the West Bronx Neighborhood Association Inc., a group organized to promote civil and community affairs and improve efficiency in local, state and national government.
While an honorary board member, Gonzalez "devised a scheme ... to mail West Bronx bank account checks payable to credit card companies and private vendors" to pay for $37,412 in personal expenses from November 2000 through May, the indictment said.
Of course, this was reported in as few places as is possible. Now if Gonzalez was a Republican, well, that would make all the difference.
