And Nancy Pelosi Reaches For The Tums

Thought this worth mentioning... a runoff election occurred yesterday in Louisiana. It was the Democrats' last chance to get rid of one of their own-- Rep. William Jefferson, who is currently under investigation in a federal bribery case. You may recall a high-profile FBI raid earlier this year found $90,000 in his freezer (I assume he wanted to keep the cash crisp and fresh). Party leaders had selected another Democrat (Karen Carter) to challenge Jefferson. As it turns out, Rep. Jefferson won that election; he retains his seat.

I guess Louisiana voters are so used to corruption that even $90,000 in the freezer isn't enough to phase them. And I think we officially know who the black sheep of the Democratic congress is. At least they tried, I suppose.
