Pelosi Accused of “Discrimination”
… by Rep. William Jefferson (D-La.), the congressman found with $90,000 in his freezer:
Pelosi wrote the embattled lawmaker, who is at the center of a massive bribery scandal, a curt note requesting his immediate resignation from the powerful Ways and Means Committee … Jefferson promptly refused, calling her request “discriminatory” … and suggested that she was employing a double standard by failing to ask other lawmakers facing ethics questions to relinquish their committee assignments.

Pelosi looks ham-handed, Jefferson highlights for the world the other Democrats with ethics problems, the Congressional Black Caucus reflexively supports the man with $90k cash in his freezer … one aide to the CBC told The Hill (link above) “The African-American community, which overwhelmingly backs the Democratic Party, will not take this lightly. I hope she enjoys being minority leader.”
California Republicans are familiar with the circular firing squad. Sounds like DC Democrats want to achieve their same record of electoral success.

Hell Pelosi is ham-handed, also ham-brained, honey-baked and dipped-in-s#*t.
