The Appearance Of Wrongdoing
As I keep saying, the "culture of corruption" meme the Democrats have been wont to use of late is a double edged sword. Recently, there have been Democrats getting caught in the spotlight. Representative Alan Mollohan for one. Now allegations are surfacing against John Conyers, the second longest sitting member of congress. Former staffers are saying that he made them act as babysitters and work on local election campaigns - including one to get his wife elected to the Detroit city council.
The ethics committee has not looked into the matter and shows no signs of stirring itself. Which is unsurprising since Mollohan refuses to stand down from his seat there.
I'm noticing a lot fewer references to the "culture of corruption" coming out of Democrats lately. Sort of exactly what I predicted. More than once.
