In yet another chapter of scandals to hit the Democrat party, this is just the latest. But don’t bet on hearing much about in the mainstream media. Yeah, it’s that old double-standard thing again. What’s good for Republicans apparently isn’t the same for Democrats.

From ABC News:

The SEC’s fraud charges may be the least of accused financial scammer R. Allen Stanford’s worries. Federal authorities tell ABC News that the FBI and others have been investigating whether Stanford was involved in laundering drug money for Mexico’s notorious Gulf Cartel.

Authorities tell ABC News that as part of the investigation, which has been ongoing since last year, Mexican authorities detained one of Stanford’s private planes. According to officials, checks found inside the plane were believed to be connected to the Gulf cartel, reputed to be Mexico’s most violent gang. Authorities say Stanford could potentially face criminal charges of money laundering and bribery of foreign officials.

The federal investigation, however, did not stop Stanford from using corporate money to become a big man at last year’s Democratic convention in Denver.

A video posted on the firm’s web-site shows Stanford, now sought by U.S. Marshals, being hugged by Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and praised by former President Bill Clinton for helping to finance a convention-related forum and party put on by the National Democratic Institute.

Slick Willy says “thanks” for the money, huh? Anybody remember Peter Paul?

This is all very interesting, wouldn’t you say? Maybe this is why the Democrats are so averse to a border fence, against controlling the border, and pro-legalization of illegal Mexicans. Paying off politicians isn’t an odd thing, after all.

The hypocrisy of this whole saga is unbelievable. But as I said, the stories just keep going and going and going….
