Jefferson is the dim who comandeered national guard troops to go to his home so he could secure documents that might implicate him in yet another bribery scandal.
Exactly how do you spell "schedenfreude?"
Did somebody say something about "a culture of corruption"?
Well, it's "Schadenfreude" and it sure is fun sometimes....
What idiots in this day and age would fall for such a "Nigerian scam" anyway?? These fools should be prosecuted for terminal stupidity as well as corruption!!
Business opportunity in Nigeria? Did he get an email about some rich Nigerian guy who needed to transfer some funds and would reward him handsomely for his help?
I missed that one...
I'll bet he's the one who has been telling me about all of those business opportunities in Nigeria.
Can't be.
All the Dems and their pundits/commentators have been saying this is a Republican scandal, that no Dems were involved.

[Let's hope it hits the fan and hits it hard. We could use a bunch of totally new faces in Congress.]
"Congressman A" mentioned in the Abramoff indictment is a Louisiana Democrat"
Is there proof of that in this article?
Thanks for posting.

Wait... but this has nothing to do with Abramoff.
One of our good ol' Louisiana politicians was dirty??? I'm shocked.
Remember... Wm J (D) LA was the guy who hijacked the national guard to get to his house in NO after the flooKatrina), and also got the troops to help him move "personal items" up and out of harms way
I can't believe no one is cracking on the Nigerian aspect - how'd he hear about it? From an e-mail???
So, it seems this is a different scandal.
Which we hadn't heard of.
Because it only involves Democrats.
Admin, I think the parenthesized part of the title should be deleted.
Nope. That would be a Congressman Ney, of Ohio. Jefferson is not a Committee Chair.

Jefferson is also the current Chairperson of the Board of Directors for the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, a non-partisan, non-profit, public policy, research and educational institute founded by members of the Congressional Black Caucus in 1976.
Well now it shows during Katrina he had some serious stuff to collect using the Guard as his taxi.
