It’s The Same Old Political Song In Louisiana

So you think the politics in your state suck? Check out THIS absolute travesty:

William (Dollar Bill) Jefferson has just been re-elected to Congress. This is the guy that accepted a $100,000 bribe, $90,000 of which they found in his freezer when they served a search warrant! This is the guy who’s Capitol Hill office was searched by the FBI following the serving of another controversial warrant.

At least one person is in prison after having pleaded guilty to bribing him! Nancy Pelosi removed him from the Ways And Means Committee without even waiting for an indictment which, for a Democrat, is an indictment in itself.

And Saturday he beat his Democratic opponent Karen Carter in a run off 57% to 43%.

It is absolutely no wonder that Louisiana is the laughing stock of the country when it comes to our politics down here. Aside from all the past characters like Huey P. Long (The Kingfish) and Edwin Edwards (now doing federal time) they re-elect Mayor Ray (Chocolate City) Nagin, then they re-elect this reprehensible clown, William (Dollar Bill) Jefferson.

I don’t know why he hasn’t been indicted yet. The FBI is certainly taking its sweet time. If they found $90,000 of marked bribe money in your freezer you can bet you’d be living with Bubba in an eight by ten right now.

I can’t stand it. Well, the voters in the Louisiana Second Congressional District deserve whatever they get. I just wish there was a way they could display their stupidity without it reflecting on the whole damn state.

Idiots.

UPDATE: The final results in today (Sunday) are Carter 40%. Jefferson 60% Not even as close as I quoted above. Unbelievable.

Oh, well. GO SAINTS!!!!

It’s not a crime if a Democratic does it, in fact its looked at as normal and ok, however, if this was a Republican ala Abramhoff (not to be confused with dorganoff) all bets are off and its a big time story and we need to throw the whole lot of them out of office.

I am wondering if he is going attend conference calls in prision when he goes to jail. Its the same old tired crap. Republican can do no right while the left wing media ignores real storys like the Jefferson, Dorganoff, Reid scandals.

I was hoping this guy would be defeated.  He does not deserve to be a congressman and the people in LA are off their rockers for reelecting this guy.  Pelosi will not put him back on the Ways and Means Committee that’s for sure.  He may even be expelled after the investigation is done.  We’ll see....

a significan number of the people that voted for him probably justified it by the following: the Feds are runned by Bush and white people, ..they hate us ..they just wanted to bring this black man down ..we’re not gonna let them

Pil, can’t the Orleans Parrish Sheriff’s Office take action on this fucker? They could then turn him over to the US Marshal Service. I mean come on! No body in the state of LA can say with a straight face that this criminal piece of shit is not a criminal. Move on his ass.

Hotel,

The bribery issue is in Federal jurisdiction and their wheels move very slowly. Unless, of course, it’s you or me in violation. Then WE’D be locked up in a red hot second. It pisses me off.

As clumsily as aNON expressed it, there is probably some truth to the “race card” assertion.
When you put the leniency shown to Jefferson alongside what they did to Scooter Libby, you see the hypocrisy.


Save America; boycott the MSM.

I think it’s basically the same syndrome (for lack of a better word) that got Marion Barry Re-elected after being busted for crack.

My point is that Dollar Bill is an elected official of LA and is resident in the Parrish of Orleans. For such obvious criminal activity the Sheriff’s Dept can kick his door in, arrest his ass, and turn him over to US Marshals Service under RICO. He has quite obviously committed crimes of an organized nature, with monetary value well in excess of $1000, and has done so across State Lines. If the Feds are unwilling to do their job, then the Sheriff is empowered to do it for them. Once he is in the custody of USMS they can diesel him between lockups, allowing other jurisdictions to set hooks in his ass, effectively removing him from any position from which to continue his organised criminal activity.

If RICO can be used against street-level drug dealers it can be used to squash this cockroach.

Like I said, it’s the Marion Barry Syndrome. Let’s re-elect the brother because he’s a victim of the man.

Logic and rationale have nothing to do with it.
