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

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.

CNN would be on their 12th hour long report on this, the latest Republican caught in Nancy Pelosi's "culture of corruption."
