Congressional Black Caucus Applauds Swamp Dweller
I guess that some Democrats want to ensure that the Louisiana Freezer Alligator (Bribus freezeris William-Jeffersonis) remains in Queen Nancy's "ethical swamp".

On the same day that the 110th Democratic-led Congress convenes with a plan to immediately pass lobbyist and ethics reforms, the Congressional Black Caucus Thursday gave a standing ovation to Rep. William Jefferson, the Louisiana Democrat who faces an FBI probe into bribery allegations."The haters... and negative nabobs...the people who spoke against him couldn't prevail against the people who spoke for him," Dr. Michael Eric Dyson, master of ceremonies for the CBC's celebratory event, said Thursday morning.
I guess racial solidarity trumps integrity for the CDC.

Until he is charged with a crime.. He is not guilty... Therefore..
He should be afforded the same accordance of respect at hand.
Why is it a double take/standard for African-American(black folks) then white folks....

Well, Keith -- the actual rule in America is that until he is convicted he is entitled to the presumption of innocence BY THE GOVERNMENT. He isn't entitled to shit from me.
But then again, we all saw how well your position has been adhered to in the case of noted black politicians Tom DeLay and Mark Foley. Similarly, that treatment was given to America's first black President, Richard Nixon, and to its secon, Ronald Reagan. Indeed, it is given today to the black man who sits in the White House, George W. Bush. Oh, that's right, they are not black -- and have been given the exact same treatment I've given to Jefferson.
I believe what you are arguing instead is that you actually WANT a double standard -- I'm just not sure what it is. Do you want the presumption of innocence to be given only to blacks, or only to Democrats, Keith?
