Democrat Corruption Roundup

How fitting that on the day when Senate-seat-selling Democrat Gov Blagojovich joins the elite club of "impeached but too-shameless-to-resign" politicians (ex-Pres Bill Clinton, charter member) to have this bumper crop of news:

Roland Burris Discussed Senate Seat With Blagojevich Insider.

VP-Elect Joe Biden's son, accused of fraud, reaches settlement.

Pennsylvania Governor does 'pay-to-play', gets fingers caught in till: Democrat Governor Ed Rendell's friends get state money in no-bid no-contract billing. Speaking of Ed Rendell and pay-to-play, Donor tied to Richardson corruption probe gave to Rendell and Obama.

Which brings up yet another 'pay to play' deal: Pay-to-Play Politics, the SEIU and Obamacare.

What ever happened to the Charlie Rangel investigation? Good question. Better question: Why isn't this man in jail or at least hounded out of office for his years of tax evasion? The shameful 'money quote': "There's no limit whatsoever on the amount of time Chairman Rangel can remain chairman, despite the ethical questions he faces."

Bribery case in Mississippi: Federal authorities have seized $425,000 from a former district attorney, Ed Peters: “Peters was a member of a conspiracy to corruptly influence a sitting State of Mississippi Circuit Court Judge,”
Members of the conspiracy - Scruggs, Balducci, Patterson, Scruggs’s son Zach, and a law partner, Sidney Backstrom - all pleaded guilty to charges related to the Lafayette County bribery conspiracy. Funny, the article doesn't mention it, but they are all Democrats. Overview of the Dickie Scruggs shakedown conspiracy, or, how a bunch of plaintiffs lawyers used corruption to turn a state into a slot machine. In case you think it can't happen in Texas, just ask Dan Morales (oh yeah, another Democrat).

Asking why they would do that is like asking: Why does Soros want Norm Coleman out of office so bad?

PS. Wait How could I miss this one? - "Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon was indicted Friday on charges that she accepted illegal gifts during her time as mayor and City Council president, including travel, fur coats and gift cards intended for the poor that she allegedly used instead for a holiday shopping spree." Took the press 11 pargraphs to admit the politician is a Democrat.

So many corrupt, lawbreaking Democrat politicians, so little time!
