Frozen Assets

Ex-Congressman William “Cold Cash” Jefferson is finally going to be tried for bribery and money laundering. The Louisiana Democrat got his nickname when federal investigators found $90,000 in his freezer. He also gained a fair amount of notoriety in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina when he commandeered a National Guard detachment to escort him to his house.

    'Bout damn time. There are a LOT of other congresspeople that need to go on trial, too.

    You've failed to mention which side of politics he's on. Are you bucking for a job in the main stream media?

    Matt: I referred to him as a "Louisiana Democrat".

    Now, if only President Obeyme and his Congressional thugs weren't firing honest IGs for doing their jobs, and standing in the way of investigations of Murtha, Rangel, Dodd, et al, we'd see some real progress toward accountable government.
