Detroit City Council President Pro Tem Monica Conyers pleaded guilty this morning to conspiring to commit bribery and is free on personal bond.

U.S. District Judge Avern Cohn said, “The defendant now stands convicted.”

The one count of conspiring to commit bribery is punishable by up to five years in prison. Read More

UPDATE: Could it be that the powers to be blackmail John Conyers into giving up the investagation of ACORN?

“The Powers That Be Corrupt” order ACORN probe quashed!
House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers Jr. has backed off his plan to investigate purported wrongdoing by the liberal activist group ACORN,

Maybe John Conyers should have an affair, would not be as bad as being married to a Detroit City Council President that pleads guilty of bribery. Wonder what part John Conyers had in this crime of his wife?  Could it be that the power to be told John Conyers that he would be tied to his wife bribery charges if he didn’t call off his investigation of ACORN!

DEMOCRAT Sen. Arlen Specter Flips to Support Public Insurance Option

Sen. Arlen Specter told an audience of union activists Thursday that he supports the public health insurance option currently being considered by Congress as part of the healthcare overhaul.

The statement signaled a dramatic shift, apparently brought on in anticipation of a tight race in the Democratic Primary against Rep. Joe Sestak. One new poll shows Specter’s favorability rating at a 17-year low. Read More
