Idiocy In Action

It's funny, but not "Ha, Ha" funny.

Check out this story, which ran on February 18:

"Rep. William Jefferson, D-New Orleans, who was punished by his party last year with the loss of his Ways and Means Committee seat after revelations stemming from a federal bribery probe, now appears to be inching back into favor.

Jefferson was appointed Friday to the Homeland Security Committee. Democrats removed him from Ways and Means after federal investigators said they found $90,000 in marked money in the freezer of his Washington home." (H/T - The Times-Picayune)

And now read this related story which ran on February 21:

"WASHINGTON - House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called for tighter ethics rules in federal agencies Wednesday after government officials approved the purchase of a $980,000 vacation home by a top Justice Department lawyer with an oil company lobbyist." (H/T - Yahoo!)

So, Pelosi calls for tighter ethics rules a mere three days after appointing the uber-corrupt Jefferson to the prestigious Homeland Security Committee, and thinks no one will notice? What a set of balls on this woman!
