Gotta love the AP!

David Espo over at the Associated Press recounts a list of recent Republican scandals but conveniently leaves off any Democratic scandals, suggesting this is an area where Democrats should reap some sort of political reward. I've decided to help him out and point out a few recent scandals involving Democrats:

Geoffrey Fieger is currently under indictment for campaign finance violations.

Norman Hsu is being investigated for similar violations.

William Jefferson is still under investigation regarding the mysterious package the FBI found in his freezer: $90,000.

GOP Reeling From Money and Sex Scandals

WASHINGTON - When it comes to scandal, Democrats could be forgiven for thinking they hit the political jackpot this summer. At Republican expense.

First came the disclosure that Louisiana Sen. David Vitter's telephone number was listed in the records of an escort service.

Then Sen. Ted Stevens' home in Alaska was raided by federal agents as part of a corruption investigation.

Now Sen. Larry Craig of Idaho is recanting a guilty plea that grew out of a police undercover operation in an airport men's room, adding, "I am not gay" for emphasis.

"This is a serious matter," said the Senate Republican leadership, an understatement for the ages.
