The money was divided among various frozen food containers, according to the heavily redacted affidavit. Agents told a judge the money was part of a $100,000 payment that had been delivered by an informant in the bribery probe, which already has led to guilty pleas by a Kentucky businessman and a former Jefferson aide.

This guy isn't even a good crook, you're supposed to put the bodies in the freezer and bury the money in the yard.
Seriously, the fact the money was concealed in a freezer pretty much condems the guy. If it was clean money, it would have been in a bank.
Congressman Jefferson used a National Guard truck to check on his flooded house and remove three suitcases and a large box from his house. He was inside the house alone for an hour while he forced the Guard troops to wait on the porch.
What do you suppose was in those three suitcases and the box? What could be worth taking that kind of risk?
He bought some crack from Marion Barry......
Dear Mr. _______,
I heard from a mutual friend that you might be of assistance to me. My father is a former United States Congressman who is currently being persecuted by the authorities in that country. I have been given a large sum of money by my father, but need your help to get it out of the United States and into a Nigerian bank. For your help in this matter, you will be entitled to one-third of the money transferred.
If you will please send my the account number and identifying information of your Nigerian bank account, I will forward the money immediately... (etc.)
Well, they seem smart enough to fool the voters, over and over again. Who are the real idiots here? The corrupt politico's or the people who elected them?
You might want to submit that to The Onion. :)
Nah, that dirtbag wouldn't sell him any of his nosecandy, "Go get your own, from Nagin!".........
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Now THERE'S a real SCAM letter!
...(See page 2 for related story)..."Meanwhile, back in Washington, Lewis "Scooter" Libby remains charged with perjury related to events that never occurred. He is expected to plead "WTF??" and, according to unnamed sources, will most likely face conviction on the most serious charge of lying about not lying about potential lies that were lied about..."
We can't post their stuff here anymore, but they should feel free to swipe it from me...

Only Pubbie pols get the bad press when caught with their graft dollars, frozen or otherwise. RATs get the proverbial pass by the MSM.
