Corruption
Unbelievable. Does everyone remember when Randy "Duke" Cunningham got busted for bribery? Nancy Pelosi gleefully declared that it was "just the latest example of the culture of corruption that pervades the Republican-controlled Congress, which ignores the needs of the American people to serve wealthy special interests and their cronies."
Cut to one year later, when Democratic Congressman William Jefferson is facing bribery and corruption charges stemming from accepting close to a half million dollars in bribes, including $90,000 found in his freezer. Does Nancy say that this is "just the latest example of the culture of corruption that pervades the Democratic-controlled congress?" No, no. Pelosi says, "Democrats are committed to upholding a high ethical standard and eliminating corruption and unethical behavior from the Congress."

You're forgetting something, Schmitty. The Republicans were in control when Jefferson did all of this. So technically, he's yet another example of "the culture of corruption that pervades the Republican-controlled Congress"
