You’ve heard stories about democrat politicians being arrested or indicted so often I almost hesitated to write about this, but here goes. CA Senator Leland Yee-D from San Francisco, and a candidate for Secretary of State was just arrested by the FBI on corruption charges. This came as FBI agents made a sweep across California investigating wide corruption by elected officials.
No doubt this has a lot of lawmakers in Sacramento more than a little nervous. Well, to PS readers this comes as no surprise, does it? We’ve long held that Sacramento is one of the most corrupt capitols in the US.
Reuters – A spokesman for Yee declined to comment. Yee is scheduled to appear in federal court later on Wednesday.
Yee was elected to the California state senate in 2006, representing a district which includes San Francisco and San Mateo County south of the city. He is the first Chinese American elected to the chamber.

This guy is accused of “conspiracy to deal firearms without a license and to illegally import firearms” and he is also a big anti-gun guy?

You know, this is really bizarre. Leland’s got a long record of good citizenship. Maybe The Male Menopause has done him in. Maybe he has a brain tumor.
I mean, he’s goin’ to jail, but his “association” with “Shrimp Boy” is of recent vintage. Leland’s lawyer should get him a brain scan.

Nah, he’s just a Demoncrat.

Now, these are the sort of comments that make hanging around here such a bore. Do I really have to bring up Christie? I mean, come on.
A discussion of how it is that political fellows are so decidedly inclined to go careening off the rails would be much more interesting.
But you all can’t manage anything more than the tossing around of labels. Booring.
