Speaking of 'dandies'.. here's a few!
The Dirty Democratic Mayors Club: Charlotte, N.C., Mayor Patrick Cannon, who bragged about partying with the Obamas to help grease the wheels for city projects, was arrested this week on federal corruption and influence-peddling charges. Hes accused of accepting gobs of cash payoffs and Las Vegas trips.
The bust follows former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagins conviction in January on corruption charges; former Trenton Mayor Tony Macks February conviction on cash bribes for a downtown parking garage; and former San Diego mayor and serial groper Bob Filners disgraceful resignation after conviction on sexual harassment-related charges; former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatricks conviction on extortion, bribery and conspiracy charges; and former Birmingham, Ala., Mayor Larry Langfords corruption and bribery conviction.
California state Democratic Sen. Leland Yee, gun grabber by day, alleged arms-trafficking gangsta by night: Yee made a decades-long career out of sanctimoniously demonizing gun owners and railing against the Second Amendment. He was arrested this week on corruption charges after an FBI sting found probable cause to believe Yee had conducted wire fraud and engaged in a conspiracy to deal firearms without a license and illegally import firearms. The Chinatown pol went so far as to discuss details of the specific types of weapons with a prospective donor. Yee is currently a candidate for Californias secretary of state office.
Pennsylvania state Democratic Sen. LeAnna Washington, party animal: This week, a judge ruled that the Keystone State could proceed with a trial against Washington, who reportedly forced her legislative staff for eight years to use taxpayer time and money for an annual birthday party whose proceeds were diverted to her campaign account. She is charged with felony theft of services and felony conflict of interest. More than a half-dozen former employees blew the whistle. I am the fing senator, she screamed at one staffer who objected. I do what the f I want, and aint nobody going to change me.
Rhode Island state Democratic House Speaker Gordon Fox, multiple-raid target: The powerful Democrat, beloved by the left for his gay-marriage activism, announced last weekend that he is stepping down from office after FBI raids on his home and work office. Fox is the target of several criminal investigations by the U.S. attorneys office, FBI, IRS and state police. Mums the word so far on the nature of the alleged criminal activity involved.
California state Democratic Sen. Ronald Calderon, all in the corrupted family: Calderon is on a paid leave of absence after being hit with a 24-count federal indictment for bribery and corruption. His brother also was charged with multiple counts of money laundering and influence peddling. Prosecutors allege the legislator accepted nearly $100,000 in bribes, plane trips, gourmet meals and golf games in exchange for political favors. He also is accused of paying his daughter $39,000 for a phony office job and paying $40,000 in consulting fees for a campaign website that didnt exist.
California state Democratic Sen. Roderick Wright, lying liar: Also on paid leave, the entrenched Los Angeles-area politician is now fighting his January conviction on felony perjury, false declaration of candidacy and fraudulent voting charges. Wright claimed to live in a rented room in an Inglewood home within his district, but the jury found his true residence was outside the district in upscale Baldwin Hills. The jury found he lied on candidacy declarations and voter registration documents and fraudulently voted in five elections.
New York state Democratic Assemblyman Bill Scarborough, shady jet-setter: The FBI and state authorities raided his home and offices as part of a probe into his travel voucher practices. He blamed a tabloid hit job by the New York Post over questionable per diem claims totaling $60,000.
Illinois state Democratic House Rep. Keith Farnham, child porn probe suspect: After sponsoring two bills to increase penalties for child porn possession, Farnham was the subject of state and federal raids last week on his home
for possession of child porn. Over the weekend, he resigned his seat citing serious health issues. Theres a euphemism.
Remember: Nancy Pelosi famously promised to drain the moral swamp and end the culture of corruption.
