"The congressional representative for my district, William Jefferson, is under federal indictment after $100,000 in marked bills was found in the freezer compartment of his refrigerator at home. He is very likely to be reelected next week."

Not quite the same thing as being reelected after being CONVICTED of a felony.

Oh, and Sarah Palin was found to have violated ethics LAW -- not because she fired someone (which she can legally do without cause) but for having PRESSURED other state officials to help her carry out a personal agenda.
