LA Loves Their Crooks
How else can you explain this?
Category : Liberal Congress, Moonbats, Politics | Tags :NEW ORLEANS – U.S. Rep. William Jefferson easily defeated his fellow Democratic opponent in a runoff election Saturday, despite an ongoing federal bribery investigation.
In complete but unofficial returns, Jefferson, Louisiana’s first black congressman since Reconstruction, received 57 percent of the vote over state Rep. Karen Carter, who had 43 percent.
Carter was unable to capitalize on a scandal that included allegations the FBI found $90,000 in bribe money in Jefferson’s freezer.

Judging from the types remaining in New Orleans after Katrina, acquiring that kind of money ($90,000) by any means at all, seems to be an acceptable proposition. They probably see him as a role model…

Unreal — if you have ever wondered how people like Byrd, Pelosi and Boxer stay in office…this is the gold standard example.
