Is Brazile a relative of Ray Nagin? I’m just askin’...
“a hard worker and a dedicated public servant”? WTF? OK, all you other hard working, dedicated public servants with $90,000. squirrelled away in your freezer, raise your hands! Sounds to me like they just want to move his guilty ass out of the spotlight, let him make a deal, get off with a suspended 10-minute sentence, get Ray Nagin into his seat and carry on as usual.
They’re eating their own - enjoy it!
You youngsters won't get the reference to a famous professional wrestler of the 50's.
‘Brazile, who served as Vice President Al Gore’s chief of staff during his 2000 presidential bid, said she’s known Jefferson since she was an intern with the Louisiana state legislature.
“He’s a hard worker, he’s been a dedicated public servant, but this probe, these allegations are a distraction,” Brazile said. ‘
Maybe its just me, but I suspect there is something more behind Donna Brazile calling for him to resign.
Like she’s offended she didn’t get a cut of the bribery money....
Sounds like Donna loves the Party more than the people.
Donna Brazile is not elected person. But the fact that she is a liberal black lady I assume it will have some effect at least they are not all walking in lock step defending the corrupt Jefferson.
Maybe Jefferson should simply just move to Brazil?ha!
One of the greatest wrestlers of our time; Rickydozan.
Maybe she wants the seat.
>Like shes offended she didnt get a cut of the bribery money....<
I disagree. Donna is an endangered species. She’s a Dem who still possesses a shred of decency.
Let’s give her the benefit of the doubt.
Boy, that's a blast from the past! That was a Saturday night's entertainment: Roller Derby and Rasslin' from Cobo Hall. Channel 56 in Boston showed the stuff from Detroit instead of the WWWF (and Bruno Sammartino) for a number of years.
I agree with Mz Bazille.
But knowing her past, her racist outlook on everything, her sick politics: Hey Donna, STFU!
I never thougth I’d agree with her on ANYTHING!
The most disgusting aspect of this is that Jefferson has always been dirty and everybody in Louisiana has known about it. Newspaper editorials about him go back to the 80s when he was just a local pol.
In southern Louisiana graft and corruption rule. Several governors have tried to change things (namely Buddy Roemer) but they got nowhere. Hopefully, Bobby Jindal will win this year and will take another crack at it.
My Dad told me stories about his contracting days when he would get calls from government officers asking him to increase his supposedly sealed bids.
Louisiana is better now than it used to be, but it still is as corrupt as a lot of third world countries.

The inch-thick, 94-page indictment was handed up in U.S. District Court in Alexandria, Va. If convicted on all charges, Jefferson could face a maximum prison term of 235 years.
‘I disagree. Donna is an endangered species. Shes a Dem who still possesses a shred of decency.
Lets give her the benefit of the doubt.’
Riiight, thats why they fired her butt for promoting false rumors about then VP Bush having an affair in 1988.
Cause she’s ‘too decent’.....
It would be hard to come up with a bigger crock of BS than that.
