The Washington Post has great coverage of the ongoing scandal surrounding Rep. William Jefferson (D-Highest Bidder), the poster child for Democrat ethics. It includes a great graphic outlining the degree of corruption.

On May 12, 2005, over dinner with business partner and FBI informant Lori Mody, Rep. William J. Jefferson (D-La.) furtively scrawled the letter "c" on a sheet of paper, and next to it wrote some numbers indicating that he was demanding a much larger personal stake in an African business deal than previously agreed to.

"The 'c' is like for 'children,' " the congressman told Mody, as an FBI tape recorder rolled. "I make a deal for my children. It wouldn't be for me."

I see -- it is all for the children. Well, it takes a village in Africa wired for cable to raise a child, doesn't it? I guess that makes it all OK.
