Federal Agents Found Cash Hidden In Frozen Pie Crust

ALEXANDRIA, Va. -- A former Louisiana congressman was convicted Wednesday of taking bribes in a case in which agents found $90,000 in his freezer.

Former Rep. William Jefferson, a Democrat who had represented parts of New Orleans, was accused of accepting more than $400,000 in bribes and seeking millions more in exchange for brokering business deals in Africa. A federal jury convicted him on 11 of 16 counts, including bribery, racketeering and money laundering.

Jefferson was stoic as the verdict was read and had little to say afterward, deferring most questions to his lawyer. Asked how he was doing, he said, "I'm holding up."(Damn right holding up. He's been holding up a bunch of people so he could keep makin' dem money pies.) :ROFL: :ROFL:

If you're expecting us to defend him, you're in for quite a surprise. I hope they lock his ass away for a good long time.

I've never understood Louisiana politics and I think that's in my best interest.

You're right. Not one word- thousands of words.

You're correct DB. I should have said TV MSM.
Except the evil people at FOX.

No sympathy from me... I hope they lock his ass up...

Unlike the right-wingers, I don't think any of us sit around trying to defend the slimebags in our party... But then, the right-wing has so many more to choose from... :)
