There's just something about guys with the names William and Jefferson. And this guy doesn't even have the name Clinton at the end. He was videotaped taking a briefcase with $100,000 in bribes from some Nigerian official. The FBI said he took the briefcase threw it in dark red sack and brought it home. They later found the remaining $90,000 worth of it stashed in foil wrap packets in his freezer. Talk about hot money! Gotta cool that stuff down as quickly as possible.

Naturally, he maintains his innocence. Granted it was unprecedented for the feds to raid his office over a weekend, but according to a former federal judge perfectly legal. It doesn't look good for this congressman who represents New Orleans. Smells like typical Louisiana crooked politics. Personally, I don't think this guy's got a prayer in court.

"Honey, I think I'll thaw out some of that leftover lasagne for dinner. Hmm, I don't remember the lasagne looking like that!" And that's the ridiculous item of the day.

Sad to say I wasn't surprised when I heard this guy was from Louisiana. And the fact that he still maintains his innocence when caught with the cash and also shown taking it on film...priceless. You're right...must be a Wm. Jefferson thang.

P.S. Thanks for stopping by my place!
