Pelosi wrist-slaps Jefferson

House Minority Leader Pelosi today released a request for Congressman Jefferson's resignation:

Dear Congressman Jefferson:

In the interest of upholding the high ethical standard of the House Democratic Caucus, I am writing to request your immediate resignation from the Ways and Means Committee.

Sincerely,
Nancy Pelosi
Democratic Leader

Yea right. Pelosi will no doubt be able to funnel through the media a positive message of combating internal corruption--just like Democrats circumvented a political albatross when 40 Democrat Senators were revealed to have taken money from Jack Abramoff. Hopefully someone will pick up on the inconsistency here: Pelosi calls for Jefferson's resignation from a committee, but calls for Tom Delay and Bill Ney's resignation from the House. Weird.

Twill be interesting to see if she continues to employ her popular "culture of corruption" invective...
