Washington (CNN) — Pennsylvania Rep. Chaka Fattah was convicted on federal corruption charges Tuesday.

The 59-year-old Democrat, who represents West Philadelphia, was found guilty on all 23 charges he faced, which included racketeering, money laundering and fraud.

The charges stemmed from schemes to repay an illegal $1 million loan to Fattah's failed 2007 Philadelphia mayoral campaign, with the Justice Department arguing that Fattah used federal grants and nonprofit funds, routed through campaign consultants to repay the loan.

Well, well, another CORRUPT DEMOCRAT bites the dust.  He also resigned from Congress today.  Buh bye.

Confirms my hypothesis.


In any story about a politician being a criminal, if the party affiliation is not mentioned in the first 3 sentences, it's a Democrat.

SILENCE, BOTH OF YOU!!!!!

We have more important things to worry about, like having an "impromptu" sit-in with a buffet in the back room so we can shame the evil Republicans for not eviscerating the 2nd, 4th, 5th, and 6th Amendments - hell, the entire Bill of Rights - in order for us to feel like we've "done something."
