Felonious behavior only enhances your career in the RAT party. Just ask the *Crintons...

[Tulane]

Democrats are corrupt. Louisiana democrats are beyond the pale.

[Lx]

Amazing how being caught being corrupt helps a dem.

Now all he has to day is, "The B*tch set me up!"

[BenLurkin]

So, Louisiana is just another third world cesspool?

[MikeA]

Why does no one in the media ever notice that being a corrupt POS is a career killer for a GOP politician, but usually enhances a Democrats' standing among their party? Are we the only ones who notice this amoral streak in the Demon party?

[Paperdoll]

Louisiana you say? With the lazy, spineless thinking that happens in that state, note re-election of N.O. mayor, nothing they do would surpize me.

[RoseofTexas]

Hey, is this like the motto they use every time they lose..."we lost but we declare it a victory"..bawhahahha! Bunch of brain dead RATS!! It must be the gobbles of saccharine these yuppie liberals have ingested through the years!

[imskylark]

"Oftentimes, being an embattled Louisiana politician can actually be a benefit,"


That figures.

[Reaganesque]

Nevertheless, Chervenak said that Jefferson could solve many problems by answering one question: "How are you going to explain $90,000 in your freezer?

How's about explaining why there are three felons who say "Yes, we bribed him" and why the FBI says they have video tape of him receiving bribes? Awww, that's just Democrat corruption. It's cute, isn't it? Only Repbulican corruption is bad.

[Yankereb]

Politicians in Louisiana are corrupt because the majority of the people of Louisiana are corrupt. If they had any morals, they wouldn't keep re-electing these criminals. The only assumption that one can make is that the majority of people in Louisiana elect officials who are just like they are.

[MarcusTulliusCicero]

Just ask Mayor John Street in Philadelphia.

[dyed_in_the_wool]

It worked for John Street, I can't see why it wouldn't work for William Jefferson.

[Buffettfan]

Jefferson is a brutha just like Nagin. Blacks will elect and relect them no matter how corrupt they are. What is important to blacks is that the politician be "black".

[coconutt2000]

If a GOP representative is caught with $90K in cold, hard bribes in his freezer, the conservative voters would line up to spit on him.

If a DNC representative is caught with $90K in cold hard bribes in his freezer, the liberal voters line up to shake his hand.

It sounds to me like the GOP has a higher quality of voters than the other party.

[toddlintown]

In other words, Jefferson's been put upon by "The Man."

Such a tired argument.
