Their perfidy has already been their downfall. Now they are promoting Dem lies that the Teaparties and Townhalls protesters are merely paid shills of the GOP. Then why do Republican pols get booed just as heartily as Dems? The Dems are using Soviet tactics to try to defuse and discredit the protesters BEFORE they gain enough momentum to sweep the Dems from Congress and Obama from office in '12. The Networks and Newspapers have degenerated, willingly, into PRESSTITUTES.

If Jefferson were of the other party, "Republican" would have been the first word in the story!

Jefferson's first and loudest claim was, "they're out to get me because I'm black". Only later did he come up with the idea that he had some sort of congressional immunity from searches.

that Jefferson, DEMONRAT, had $90,000 stashed in the freezer.

Smile - you never know when Obama and his goon squad are looking at you.

50 bucks says the "racism" card will pop up before the end of the week.

It is amazing how often we here from the state-run media how not only are they even-handed, but that if anything they tend to tilt to the right.  I would like to know to what right they are referring.  Would that be to the right of Josef or Vladimir?

This is just another fine example of how the media (arm of the Democratic Party) downplays or buries stories when they feel that it is necessary to protect the sterling image of the Democratic party.  They are like a relentless pack of demented hyenas (normal hyenas are equal opportunity carnivores) who will drag down anyone they feel either presents threat or has an "R" after their name.

Gotta love it.  O'Reilly and Greta are all over it.

GE forced to pay $50 million fine for cooking its books.

Stockholders forced to pay for Immelt's corruption, as well as take the financial hit on the big board, should it occur.

Obama has yet to comment, even though GE has $139 Billion of our money.

Obama fired the CEO of GM for less.

Is there no end to the corruption President Obama will engage in to further his agenda?

LYDSEXICS UNTIE!

I have never seen anything about the IRS looking into taxes not paid on this money.

Also wouldn't adding a D after the name of a convicted goverment felon these days be redundent? 

“Less 1984 — More 1776"

Cut Brian some slack.  There is a really good chance that he doesn't even know what party Jefferson belongs to.  He is not the brightest guy.  He probably just reads what is put before him with no thought, no consideration and no care.  He is a true modern professional.

Truly amazing, even for nbc, that there was not one mention of party affiliation. Do those in the loyal, state-run media not realize that they bring more attention to the story by omitting the party vs. naming his party affiliation? Just when you think their little credibility cannot sink further.....

Jefferson wasn't just any run-of-the-mill democrat. He was the prototypical New South Democrat. Black in a very safe district that would forever be safe, until Katrina intervened. It would even have taken a federal judge to change that. He was the product of Harvard Law. His bio would be impressive if not for sticky fingers. He has been on the forefront of democratic politics in Louisiana for years. Not only is his affiliation relevant, if these "news organizations" were really in that business, they would find enough material to fill several documentaries on the New South. How, in one generation, black political power went from nothing to national influence and the influence of this power and money on many "Jeffersons" at all levels throughout the South would make a fascinating story. That story is not all bad either, there are many honest politicians that have not succumbed to that influence. That is why Jefferson's affiliation is so important. The omission proves they are not interested in honest journalism.
