REPRESENTATIVE WILLIAM JEFFERSON captured on video taking a $100,000 bribe: Gateway Pundit has a roundup. This whole “culture of corruption” is getting way out of hand.
Plus there’s this: “$90,000 found in congressman’s freezer . . . The money was divided among various frozen food containers, according to the heavily redacted affidavit.”
Some readers may recall that Jefferson also used the National Guard to secure his home in New Orleans during the Katrina aftermath. Another triumph for Louisiana politics! However, the bribery story puts a new spin on this bit from the story about Jefferson’s urgent visit to his home amid the flood: “Finally, according to the source, Jefferson emerged with a laptop computer, three suitcases, and a box about the size of a small refrigerator, which the enlisted men loaded up into the truck.” Hmm.
