As we’re reading about that AP report, the RNC sends out an e-mail “Democratic Ethics Breakdown” in the subject line. “Vernon L. Jackson, Chairman Of IGate, Inc., Pled Guilty To Bribing Rep. William Jefferson (D-LA).” this week, we’re reminded. True, of course–and the Dems seemingly giving Jefferson a pass is not nothing. But I’m sorry, when I’m ticked at you, I don’t want to hear, “but he’s worse.” It’s not winning strategy on the playground with the teacher and it’s not a compelling strategy for winning elections.
