STRIPPED OF HIS POSITION

In a previous post, I said it was a good week for America; now it's a good week for conservatives.

William Jefferson was removed from his assignment on the Ways and Means Committee by his fellow democrats, who are frantically trying to make "ethics" one of their cornerstones for the fall election. Don't tell them, but National Security would be a better issue to run on, trust me.

The rank and file acted despite a last-minute plea by the embattled Louisiana lawmaker and persistent complaints from the Congressional Black Caucus that there was neither rule nor precedent for the action

Well, the Congressional Black Caucus is upset--Jesse and Al can't be far behind. Deal the race cards.

I've got 90,000 reasons why this is going to get better.
