Looks like Speaker Pelosi won't be letting him back on the Ways and Means committee until the Federal Investigation is completed. If the Democrats really want to clean up Congress, they need to hold a firm line. The Republican's Downfall was that they became so concerned with holding onto power, they tolerated corruption. And once they did that (along with many other things), the corruption turned cancerous and they were no longer representative of their constituency. DS Good post, and good point.

William Jefferson’s (D-LA) old seat on the Ways And Means committee to Rep. Artur Davis (D-AL).  Thanks to Pelosi and Davis for helping to establish that there is one party in this nation where bribery is unacceptable.  Maybe New Orleans will follow the same policy someday.

I've been dismayed at those particular election results but wondered what one could do since it's not our district or state. I hadn't thought to write our congressional reps to let them know. Thanks, it's always good to read your blog. Thanks for the suggestion. I’ve been dismayed at those particular election results but wondered what one could do since it’s not our district or state.
