Pelosi under attack from Democrats?
Posted by Moonage on 25 May 2006 | Tagged as: Ethics
The meeting with a handful of CBC members was called after 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.
Outraged that one of its members was being picked on even though he has not been charged with a crime, the Congressional Black Caucus had intended to issue a defiant statement against their leader but agreed after the meeting to pause, at least briefly, for reflection.
Couldn’t happen to a more deserving peson than Nancy. However, to be fair, Nancy did call for Tom Delay’s resignation before he was even charged as well. So, she’s not just biased against members of the Black Caucus. Charlie Rangel and that bunch should be happy that she only pre-judged Jefferson’s guilt and didn’t issue an indictment that members of the CBC were living in a culture of corruption. I doubt anyone would have expected that. They are, after all, Democrats.
I am also finding it a bit humorous that Pelosi is attacking a black Democrat while Hastert is going after the FBI for busting a black Democrat. The irony is probably exclusive to me.
