Dems in Doo-Doo

Howie Carr writes for the Boston Herald, here he cracks wise about the Democrats' current troubles with the law. First is his summary statement:
Right now, a crime wave is sweeping the nation, and everyone in this out-of-control mob has a D after their names, even if most of the media are loath to report it. 
Then Carr gives us details:
Last Friday, it was the speaker of the Rhode Island House of Representatives, Gordon Fox. The FBI raided his offices and home on Friday, he resigned on Saturday.
Next, the mayor of Charlotte, Patrick Cannon, another Democrat. He allegedly accepted $48,000 in bribes.
State Sen. Leland Yee of San Francisco (snip) was arrested on Wednesday, for allegedly arranging deals to procure M16s and rocket launchers to be smuggled into California.
Two-gun Yee is the third Democrat state senator to be arrested in California this week. Earlier it was state Sen. Rod Wright (perjury) and then Ron Calderon (bribery).
Carr doesn't even mention San Diego's first Democrat mayor in 20 years, Bob Filner, who pled guilty last October to felony false imprisonment and two counts of misdemeanor battery, all 3 against women.

Or Illinois state Senator Keith Farnham resigned, charged with child pornography. Or Pennsylvania state Senator LeAnna Washington charged with using government employees and equipment to do fund-raising. Or former Arkansas Treasurer Martha Shoffner convicted of federal bribery and extortion. There's more but the above suffice to establish a pattern of behavior.

I am reminded of what Michael Walsh wrote, in the person of his liberal alter ego David Kahane, Democrats "are a criminal organization masquerading as a political party." Hat tip to Ed Driscoll at PJ Media for a summary.
