He is black and a democrat - laws do not apply to him.

Well, if kept at room temperature [and don't forget the humidity!] the bribe might have gone bad and grow mold. Perfectly rational decision.

At first I thought the headline read, "F.B.I. Contends Lawmaker Hid BRIDE in Freezer"
I was taken aback for a second there...

the lawmaker received a briefcase containing $100,000 in $100 bills. That works out to about a thousand $100 bills. (just a guesstimate-- I didn't use a calculator)

Being a rat means NEVER having to say you are sorry or guilty. This bum will be no different. The water is getting hotter now and it wouldn't be long before he starts crying "RACE!".

Representative William J. Jefferson has denied accusations of bribery, most recently at a news conference last Monday in New Orleans. This is an outrage! This is unprecedented! He is trying to taint the jury pool by denying his guilt. At least that's what black former prosecutors say about white guys making similar statements.

This is old news. The "Times-Pick-on-you" reported this back before Katrina usurped the headlines.
