Black Caucus to Nancy Pelosi: Hands Off William Jefferson

[Bonnie]

Darn the one thing she is trying to right, and her culture of corruption is kicking her right in the pupek :huh:

The Congressional Black Caucus is in open revolt over House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's attempt to discipline Rep. William Jefferson, D-La., after he was caught red handed with $90,000 in alleged bribe money.

And at least one CBC staffer is warning that any move against Jefferson could jeopardize Democrat chances to retake the House this fall.

According to Roll Call, Pelosi checked with key members of the CBC before she told Jefferson on Tuesday that he should resign his post on the House Ways and Means Committee "in the interest of upholding the high ethical standard of the House Democratic Caucus."

Rather than complying, Jefferson defied the top Democrat - and instead accused her of discrimination, arguing that other ethically challenged Democrats faced no such discipline.


Things got uglier on Wednesday when some of the same CBC members who had OK'd the Pelosi putsch changed their minds.
"A members-only CBC lunch meeting produced an emotional consensus that Pelosi had overreached since Jefferson has not been charged with any crimes," said Roll Call.

"One after another, CBC members rallied behind their colleague, arguing that he was being singled out."

"I would say that the people who spoke were very vehement in their opposition," CBC member James Clyburn told the paper.

Jefferson's defenders cited Rep. Alan Mollohan, who was forced to step aside as the ranking member of the ethics committee but permitted to keep his coveted seat on the Appropriations Committee.

Whites could take a lesson from blacks. One, they form a caucus. Two, they defend each other, no matter what. They put racial loyalty way high on the list. That's how you survive as a minority, and whites are going to have to learn the lesson as their numbers drop to the bottom of the census ranking.

Whats the point of "racial loyalty" if you defend evil?
