WASHINGTON — Rep. William Jefferson, D-La., was indicted Monday on 16 counts related to a long-running bribery investigation on charges including bribery, racketeering, obstruction of justice and money laundering.

Will there be as much outrage about this as there was for you know who?

True, it does. Question... will he resign? Will he at least be "removed" from his committee positions?

Just trying to draw parallels to Jefferson and DeLay, as is every pundit on TV right now.

Well I think it's fantastic that Pelosi put him on the Homeland Security committee while he was already under scrutiny. Well done Madame Chairwoman.
