State lawmakers today kicked out a West Side Democrat accused of taking a $7,000 bribe The Illinois House kicked him out for that? What, was the bribe too small?
To: rocksandbroncs
For some reason I knew he would be Black.

“Rep. Derrick Smith” this leads some to read this as “Republican Derrick Smith”....

I bet they’re doing it, because a), the bribe is too small, and b), because he was inattentive enough to get caught.

The dems typically only go after black dems on corruption charges it seems.
You mean, just like in the real world where blacks are "typically" over-represented in prisons?

The 6 who voted against expulsion - Monique Davis, DeLuca, Flowers, Mayfield, Turner, & Yarbrough - must really be people of upstanding character. /s
I wonder how closely allied with Obama they are?!
