I have no idea how that $90,000 got in my freezer
The Democratic Representative from Louisiana, William Jefferson may have single handedly removed the "Culture of Corruption" issue from the Democratic arsenal by storing $90,000 of bribes in his refrigerator wrapped in aluminum foil. Beyond the obvious this seems to be a ridiculously low class trailer park method of handling cash in our modern society which is filled with front companies, futures trading and Swiss bank accounts. The only people I ever hear of handling cash in this manner are mobsters or drug dealers.
A Democratic congressman facing a bribery probe after FBI agents found $90,000 in his freezer denied wrongdoing on Monday and said he would not step down from his congressional seat.Evidently it's all one big misunderstanding. I am sure when he explains how that money ended up in his freezer we are all going to get one big chuckle out of it.Speaking to reporters, Louisiana Rep. William Jefferson said he could not discuss details of the pending federal investigation.
"There are two sides to every story. There are certainly two sides to this story," said Jefferson, adding, "This is not the time, this is not the forum" to discuss it.
Until then thanks for yanking the rug out from under your party. Seeing you in the news day in and day out as the poster child for base corruption is going to be priceless.
