Democrats Begin To Master The “Congress Of Corruption”

Under Empress Nancy’s reign, the “culture of corruption” has become more like the “Congress of Corruption.”

Exhibit A – US Rep. William Jefferson (D-LA). ‘Nuf said.

Exhibit B - US Rep. Jack Murtha (D-PA)

Exhibit C – US Rep. Alan Mollohan (D-WV)

Mollohan Earmarks Nearby Land
Paul Singer, Roll Call Staff, June 28, 2007

A $1 million earmark request by Rep. Alan Mollohan (D-W.Va.) would allow the Interior Department to expand a wilderness area neighboring properties the Congressman owns.

Exhibit D – The Empress Pelosi (D-CA) herself!

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has disclosed that she holds stock valued at up to $15,000 in Alcatel-Lucent (formerly Alcatel SA), a company with extensive investments in Iran and Sudan — nations that sponsor terrorism.

The disclosure of Pelosi’s holdings comes at the same time that legislation is making its way through the California legislature barring state pension fund managers from investing in companies, like Alcatel-Lucent, that do business with “terror-friendly” nations.

My, my, my.  How hollow these words now ring…

“The Democrats intend to lead the most honest, most open, and most ethical Congress in history.”

I guess (not my) Speaker Pelosi’s “out clause” in her promise was the word “intend.”  No wonder the Congress of Corruption has a lower approval rating that the President.

  2. By now shouldn’t the MSM be doing specials on “if only we had a parlimentary system so this Congress would be forced into early elections.”The public has given them a no confidence vote in recent polls of a favorable 22%. The Democrats only hope is for failure in Iraq so they can appear correct on the war. But thinking American’s realize that means the are hoping and praying for failure of our troops. Success means Democrats can’t be trusted with foreign policy. And they know it. Today, Democrat icon George McGovern said he doesn’t believe an anti war candidate can win in 08 and who better to comment eh?

  5. omg….and how could I forget Dianne Feinstein! While the left is frothing at the mouth over Dick Cheney’s non-existent war profiteering, Feinstein and her husband were raking in MILLIONS from contracts she steered to companies her husband sat on the board of.

  6. And as far as accountability is concerned, Rob Portman pointed out last week in the WSJ, that the administration, and not the liberals in Congress, have given us the following:

    And let’s not forget David Obey (D, WI) trying to hide pork until it’s too late.

  7. Pelosi was misquoted. She said the “Democrats intend to bleed the most honest, most open, and most ethical Congress in history.”

  8. Begin to master . . . corruption? The Democrats have a past to draw on.
    Remember the pre-1994 Congress? Franking privilege abuse, in 1992 then Congresswoman Barabara Boxer´s 436 NSF checks held by the congressional bank. I felt if she couldn´t manage her personal finances how could she manage the nations finances? I don´t remeber if during the campaign for the open Senate seat Bruce Herschensohn making it an issue. She barely won by using, three days before the election, that he went to a show at a strip club.

  10. Bruce, they’re too busy getting ready for the GLBT pandering debate on Logo, an affiliation of CBS that the Tiffany Network refuses to acknowlege.
