Now that is one bad crook

Posted by Ron Coleman on August 5, 2009

You’d have to be to beat these pro-acquittal factors:  A black elected politician, a New Orleans jury, and mere charges of bribery brought by the Bush Justice Department?  Don Surber reports:

A federal jury convicted former Congressman William Jefferson, D-New Orleans, of 11 counts of being one big crook.

I am glad to see justice is served.

He likely will appeal.  So what?  He’s a crook.  Send him to prison — or considering the cash found in his fridge, send him to the cooler. The convictions care a potential of more than 20 years in prison — give him every single day possible.

He earned it.

Well, those guys in Congress have to earn something, some time.
