Dems Keep Jefferson Off Ways and MeansRepublicans don't know how to act when Nancy Pelosi and Congressional Democrats show a little class and good leadership since after 12 years of Republicans who had neither.
House Democrats, insistent that they will hold lawmakers to higher standards, decided Tuesday that Rep. William Jefferson will not return to an influential committee until a federal corruption investigation involving him is completed.
Speaker-to-be Nancy Pelosi said the Democratic Steering Committee had resolved that Jefferson, who last Saturday won a runoff election in his New Orleans district, will not be given back his spot on the Ways and Means Committee, the panel that determines tax and trade policies.
Their reaction to Democrats shunning the only example of Democratic corruption in Congress is quite comical. They're completely stumped and the country realizes the contrast between to two parties makes the November elections all the more satisfying and certainly the right choice.
