It’s The Same Old Political Song In Louisiana
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!!!!
