Read it first, then come back. The highlights: Congress, in a heartwarming unilateral show of support is demanding that all the documents seized from Representative William Jefferson's office by the FBI be returned. The documents
"FBI agents searched Jefferson's office in pursuit of evidence in a bribery investigation. The search warrant, signed by U.S. District Court Judge Thomas Hogan, was based on an affidavit that said agents found $90,000 in cash wrapped and stashed in the freezer of Jefferson's home.
Jefferson has not been indicted and has denied wrongdoing."
Yeah, I just keep cash hidden in my freezer for no reason. Doesn't this sound more like a Soprano's episode than a news story? I mean come on!
And BOTH parties are sticking up for him.
Why?
They are all corrupt up to their eyeballs. We live under an entirely currupt system of government and we accept it because they tell us America is the only REAL democracy in the world.
It was.
It was.
It's not any more.
Next, free speech will go. They've already started.
Now Tell Me This Is NOT Proof That the Two Party System Is Crap

Yes because as the rest of the world clearly shows, having more parties really takes care of corruption. You boob.
The problem, my dear Doctor, is that the oversight committees, elections committees and the redistricting committees are not independent of the politicians. Unless you have professionals handle the oversight of the ethics of our fat cats who are in power, you could have fifty parties and you will not alter the dynamic of corruption.
And The FBI spending all this effort on a Democrat, in the midst’s of the very public knowledge of the Republican scandals (they are the ones in power, so they are the ones who are getting the most bribes) is a bit odd, don’t you think?
Why wasn’t Frist or Haster’s homes raided like this?
Yes, they are a bunch of tools. But having more parties isn’t the solution, though I would love to see it. The problem is that self policing only works in rare cases, and we are seeing that now.
Funny things about policing yourself; If you’re honest enough to actually do it, you probably don’t need policing, and if you’re a scumbag, who does need policing, you sure in hell aren’t going to do it yourself.
We just need to round them all up, peel off their skins, and stake them to anthills.
I know, that won’t help, but it would be awfully fun the first few hundred times.
Vote PEROT!!
Dr. Manto-nonsense...
Since when is the FBI a republican organization? You're a fucking tit. You won't admit it, but you are a lactating liberal baby killer.
I agree that oversight is needed, but by whom?
Sniff my non mantis underwear and go to bed.
Crime is crime and the FBI investigates crime. Oh, I forgot. Democrats grifting money is okay... nevermind. Frunk.
FBI Searching? oh I wish and all Latin America wish to have something like that happen in Latin countries, maybe that would take care of poverty issue down there.
The House Ethics Committee should be run by DOJ. And the House Ethics Oversight Committee should be run by nine random members of the public who earned Ph.D's in a hard science.
Dr. M, you first.
Which Dr. M? There are two now confusing no?
Dr. Murk, The FBI is part of the executive branch. That’s the President, in case you didn't pass civics class back in 6th grade.
I'm not saying the scumbag shouldn’t be drawn and quartered, but we have been hearing about suspect activity by those in power for years now and this is the first time the FBI has decided to actually make a raid of this kind, in all of US history.
Now, if they follow this up with a raid on members of BOTH parties, then I'll be fine with that. But you'll just have to forgive me If I don’t have much faith in people answerable to the executive branch going after his own party especially when his party is in so much trouble.
And I have always admitted to being a liberal baby killer, but not a lactating one. Unlike you, I don’t have pendulous manboobs, heavily laden with clotted secretions.
How about a quote from another Dr.:
Hank Venture: But Pop, you're bleeding!
Dr. Venture: Uh? Oh, this. Uh, no, it's fairly common for some men to lactate involuntarily in situations of extreme stress.
