Jefferson Goes to Jail

It's about time.

Hey folks,

FINALLY, justice is served for one of the biggest corrupt Politicians in Government. William Jefferson, DEMOCRAT, Louisiana, uh, make that FORMER DEMOCRAT, Louisiana, is going to jail. He will not pass go. He will not collect $90,000 dollars.

According to the BBC News - US 'freezer cash' lawmaker jailed

A former US congressman famously caught with $90,000 (£54,000) in cash in his freezer, has been sentenced to 13 years for bribery and money laundering.

William Jefferson, a Louisiana Democrat who served for nearly 20 years, was convicted in August of taking hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes.

Yeah, remember Nancy Pelosi refused to do anything about it. It took the VOTERS, to get him out of office.

The 62-year-old was also found guilty of trying to get millions more for brokering business deals in Africa.

He is also a friend of Obama. For OBVIOUS reasons. I wonder if Obama will issue him a Presidential Pardon.

Prosecutors had asked the judge to sentence him to at least 27 years.

Jefferson's defence lawyers had argued that he was acting as a private business consultant in making the deals, and sought a sentence of less than 10 years.

The veteran politician had been under investigation since the spring of 2005.

In August that year, FBI agents found the money in his freezer, wrapped in foil and hidden in boxes of pie crust.

Jefferson was voted Louisiana's first African-American congressman in 1991.

Well, that historic election did not guarantee he was a good Servant of the People. Now did it? I repeat, Blackness does not equal greatness. He was the first Black Congressman and as corrupt as the day is long. Obama is the First Black President. That doesn't mean that he is anything more than he is. He is a THREAT to this country. He is destroying the Economy, and he needs to be Voted out, just like Jefferson was. Just because it's historic, doesn't mean it is good.

He was re-elected in 2006 even after news of the bribery scandal broke, but narrowly lost his re-election bid in 2008 to a Republican rival.

Just like then, YOU have the power to throw the current bunch of Socialists and Marxists out of office in 2010, and replace the Boy King wannabe Obama in 2012. They do not seem to want to listen to you. At the Polling Places, they will be FORCED to. Get ready folks. Get educated. When the time comes, GO VOTE!
