Quit, Dammit!

GOP majority or no GOP majority, you got caught taking a six-figure bribe...have the decency to resign.

Jefferson Has No Plans to Resign

Rep. William J. Jefferson (D-La.), whose Capitol Hill office was raided by the FBI Saturday night as part of a 14-month public corruption probe, said today has no plans to resign and intends to seek reelection in November.

"I plan to go to the floor tonight to vote," Jefferson said at a late-afternoon news conference. " . . . I expect to continue to represent the people who sent me here and to try to respond to their needs and their issues. I will continue to do that, so long as they permit me to do to."
