Really, you should look his story up. You'll be shocked.
Leland Yee was running guns and selling them to street gangs to fund his run for Governor!! Are you insane?
Jan 14th: While in prison, a Virginia lawmaker (Democrat) was re-elected to the House of Delegates yesterday after he previously resigned from office amid a sex scandal. The scandal involved one of his teenage employees.
There's corruption on both sides, and I've never defended the corruption in either party! Yet, here you and the liberal cheerleader squad are rushing in to deflect, deny, and defend.
If you refuse to call out your own party, how can you be taken seriously when you call out the other? You're so focused on meaningless tit for tat that you're overlooking the grand picture, and the trouble BOTH PARTIES have with screwing the public trust.
You're being a hypocrite teapot calling the kettle black! Does that even resonate with you? It's pretty shameful how so many in here display this trait.
Alicee Hastings (D) federal IMPEACHED, In 1981, Hastings was charged with accepting a $150,000 bribe in exchange for a lenient sentence and a return of seized assets for 21 counts of racketeering
Elected to House of Representatives.
Mayor, "The ***** set me up" Marion Barry (D)," the first prominent civil-rights activist to become chief executive of a major American city", " when he was videotaped smoking crack cocaine and was arrested by Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) officials on drug charges". Barry had served three tenures on the Council of the District of Columbia" "and again from 2005 to 2014"
I just watched a report on NBC about the Oregon governor who was forced to resign, and nowhere did it mention which political party he was. It is the most blatant example of political bias on the networks I can remember. Can you imagine if he were a Republican? If so, they would have mentioned it over and over, and yet they condemn other networks for being biased. Hypocrites.
This is all you need to know to interpret "mainstream media" news coverage:
1. Any crime reported that does not specify race can assumed to be a minority.
2. Any scandal that involves an unidentified politician can be assumed to be a Democrat.
However, more damning was the fact that somebody via info from the FBI (very likely in the Obama organization) leaked the investigation to the media of Blagos sale of Obama's senate seat.
This ended the investigation prematurely that would have landed 6-10 prominent IL dems in jail including Jesse Jackson Jr. (they got him for something else unrelated though a year or so later).
So, while your facts aren't 100% your general point is pretty correct.
C.) Bill Clinton saying 1 lie about his personal sex life.
Answer: C.
Bill Clinton's sex life lie received 100x more media attention than A. and B. above combined. The CEO's who run the major networks love republicans because they give them tax cuts like these,
My mother was upset at that, too, but she's 77. Older people probably are more offended than young folk. Myself, I couldn't care less what anybody announces about themselves.
"My mother was upset at that, too,"
That IGNORES the point.
WHY do they feel that they have to ANNOUNCE in the first place. Especially when all we here is "stay out of my bedroom"?
I don't recall when this happened, but it isn't much different than you announcing you are heterosexual. Being open about ones sexuality isn't a big deal to many people. Only those who are far right wing seem to be troubled by people being open about their sexuality.
No one needs to know anyones sexual preference.
It should not matter, to be exposed or revealed.
The only reasons to announce it, would be for sales marketing, or defamation of character, depending on your political audience.

Another example:
"HARRISBURG, Pa. (CBS) — Pennsylvania attorney general Kathleen Kane today was vigorously defending her decision not to bring charges against several state lawmakers from the Philadelphia area caught on tape accepting illegal payments."
Kathleen Margaret Granahan Kane (born June 14, 1966)[1] is an Americanlawyer and politician who is the Attorney General of Pennsylvania.[2] She is the first woman and the first Democrat ever elected to the position
NO WHERE in the article dies it say she is a DEM.
"Then why does she have to announce herself as a bisexual?"
We hear this ALL the time, "Keep out of my bedroom", then they have to announce to the world what they do in the bedroom.
Can't have it both ways!
Do politicians announce when they are straight? Do we see signs of their straight relationships? The reason for announcing one's sexuality is to prevent right wingers from trying to turn it into a "scandal" as if the politician has something to hide.
