500 current members of congress are severely sadden that this fellow could not get his offers to them. Very sadden.

Rep. William Jefferson, Democrat, Louisiana is in trouble.
To: RetiredArmy
Wouldn't it be more interesting to see "Congressman bribes a businessman"? Sort of "man bites dog" kind of news.

LOL, who do you think runs this country? IT'S BUSINESS. Everything from Frist putting a rider on Sensenbrenner's bill that would allow 65,000 more H1B visas into this country (because you know we don't have "enough engineers" - despite they're continually laid off in droves) to the turning of a blind eye to illegal immigration. DESPITE THE FACT THEY COST YOU A FORTUNE...

"Jefferson denied the allegation, saying he has never demanded or accepted anything to perform a service for which he was elected."
Jefferson is a sorry sack of human excrement. During Katrina, he had the National Guard providing him with free helicopter trips so he could get access to property in his private home while all of those folks stuck in the flooding were fighting to stay alive.

Pfft... this is small potatoes... when I lived in India, it would have been an insult for anyone to even suggest trying to bribe a member of parliament for something like 360000$.
Heck, the premier and most corrupt chief minister (like a governor) of Indias most corrupt and basket case state, was indicted some ten eyars ago for pilfering about 250 Million USD meant, of all things, for cattle feed!!
India isnt a poor country... not by a long shot, contrary to popular opinion. Theres plenty of money to go around. Its too bad that some people are so greedy that even the billions they steal arent enough for them.
And yet, the country progresses.
Take heart. Americans will do just fine, even with their politicians hands in the cookie jar.

Welllll, maybe if the Federales didn't have the power to destroy the a business at any time, or limitless money to lavish of them, they wouldn't need to bribe congresscritters.

"Jefferson is a sorry sack of human excrement.

Sure seems like he is in a world of hurt, in due course. Time will tell.

Pelosi needs to make a mad dash to get an IQ test after her comment today. It amazes me to no end that someone of her position doesn't have the foggiest concept of how a free market works.

William Jefferson - add a Clinto to the end and it's no wonder the guy is dirty. IMO, it is nuts to beat the hell out of those offering the bribes if they aren't going to absolutely crush the "public servants" who take the bribes. It's bribe takers that are truly betraying the public trust.

...documents make clear that the congressman whom Jackson admits bribing is Rep. William Jefferson...
The dims have the damnedest time with anyone that has that name.
