Monday, December 11, 2006 - 7:15pm William 'Cold Cash' Jefferson Goes Back to Washington I have lost what little faith I had in the American electorate. In what can only be described as moronic, the voters of New Orleans re-elected William Jefferson (D) to Congress in a special run-off election this weekend. Jefferson, as you may recall, is the Congressman who was caught with $90,000 in cash in his freezer after accepting a bribe.
The scary part is that the election was not even close. Jefferson took 57% of the vote to beat fellow Democrat Karen Carter. This is further proof that the voting public doesn't care and doesn't pay attention. Jefferson may still be indicted during his new term, but that's about all we can hope for.
The FBI needs to hurry up on this one. We cannot have a politician in Washington whose seat is for sale to the highest bidder.
