As disgusting was an article in the Inquirer on 10-17-06 detailing the problems faced by the GOP in the upcoming election. All of the GOP members listed and shown in photos had either resigned, been charged or were serving time. The photos at the article's beginning, however, began with Rep. Jefferson, a Democrat. The article,toward its end, made mention of the fact that Jefferson has not yet been charged with a crime. How can articles associate proven instances of corruption (i.e., those instances where resignation have occurred, where time is being served or where prosecutors thought enough evidence exists to bring charges with a situation where no charges have been brought. I wish I could find the link; I do have the hard copy paper at home.
