I finished that Blago post below, then wandered over to Hot Air to see what they're yapping about. Lo and behold, there's another Democrat under suspicion of corruption. He'll be resigning tomorrow. Hot Air quotes the Boston Globe, where the usual rules apply: never mention the word Democrat in a story about corrupt Democrats. You know, because they're the party of the people.
House Speaker Salvatore F. DiMasi plans to resign from his powerful post tomorrow and depart the North End legislative seat he has held for three decades, saying yesterday that he is proud of his record and is departing with his "head high" despite ongoing ethics controversies swirling around him.
DiMasi - the third consecutive [the other two were Democrats, in case you were curious] Massachusetts speaker to leave under a cloud - was reinstalled as speaker three weeks ago. But he has remained under public scrutiny, an Ethics Commission investigation, and a pair of grand juries looking at the influence-peddling allegations involving his close friends.
Oh, and in other Democrat-but-not-mentioned-in-the-article news, Racine, Wisconsin mayor Gary Becker (D) missed the Obama inauguration because he was busted at a mall trying to meet up with a 14-year-old girl. Turns out, the girl didn't exist, and he was met by law enforcement instead. He faces a six count felony rap, and was released on bond. It's a shame, because he had quite the weekend planned: city officials say Becker chose the most expensive option for his Obama inauguration celebration in Washington DC, at $550/night.
