She’s as predictable as she is hypocritical.

Nancy Pelosi on Democrat William Jefferson’s indictment:

“…Mr. Jefferson, just as any other citizen, must be considered innocent until proven guilty…”

Nancy Pelosi on Republican Tom Delay’s indictment:

“[It’s] the latest example that Republicans in Congress are plagued by a culture of corruption at the expense of the American people.”

I can almost dismiss her hypocrisy as being simply a byproduct of partisanship - that’s predictable - but the fact she’s standing up for a man who was caught on videotape taking bribes and caught red-handed with the money in his home freezer while condemning a man indicted by a politically-motivated D.A. on trumped-up charges brings into question her judgment and character.

(hat tip: Matt)

1. Pelosi even knows that Jefferson’s freezer contained the marked bills from the bribe he received!!!

   I love the hypocrisy by the media and Democrats.

   If Tom Delay had stayed on and was promoted to the Homeland Security Commitee would the media have given him the same pass as Jefferson has received??!!
