Or so Rep William Jefferson, Democrat from Louisana thought.
There are a couple of things I find absent from the news relating to this.
For one, his sense of wrongdoing. I can hardly believe his response to the allegations of soliciting millions in bribes, he only received $400,000.00 and he "didn't promise any legislative favors." Bully for you..whew, what a great guy..how ethical.
Two, the fact that he was spanning the globe in countries such as Nigeria, Botswana, Equatorial Guinea and Sao Tome e Principe. It kind of makes me wonder if these people woke up to spam mail in their accounts that start off with; Hello. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is William Jefferson a Congressman in the United States. My Parish was hit by the Hurricane Katrina, but locked away in my freezer is millions of dollars, which I would gladly exchange for your fine Naira..."
Three the absence of the good Reverand Al Sharpton and the NAACP. They sure aren't coming to the fine gentleman from Louisiana's defense.
Four, the attitude from the rest of the members of the congress, that there should be a separation and the Justice Dept overstepped their bounds when they raided his home in 2005, netting $90,000 in cold hard cash..in his freezer.But I did love the reply by Justice Rosenberg;
"Frankly, we don't give a damn about politics,"... We believe he broke the law. That's why we brought the charges. Period."
That is how the government should work. You aren't above the laws you uphold just because you are an elected official. Get over yourself already.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is under the gun for vowing to clean up congress, she kicked him off one committee, tax writing on the Ways & Means, but allowed him to be seated in Homeland Security.
Uh, yeah..I'll take the category Homeland Security Secrets Sold to Third World Countries for $200.00 Alex.
Yep, I feel safe.

Oh, come on... He's a sweetheart. I went to his website, which hasn't been updated since '05, and he looks like a very nice man. As proof, there's a picture of him with a very nice looking older lady. How could a guy who'd have his picture taken with a nice old lady be a crook? I mean, come on!
