Yay!

I sure am glad he was convicted, because if he wasn’t, I am quite certain that the genius voters of New Orleans would return Dallah Bill Jeffuhson to congress as fast as they possibly could.

Let him do one week of community services and the debt is paid.

On the plus side the country is rid of one more HARVARD LAW chump. Let’s hope it isn’t the last.

“We have been reminded today that we are a nation of laws, and not men,” said Dana J. Boente, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia. “It should be a clear signal that no public official – and certainly not a U.S. Congressman – can put their office up for sale and betray that office. It cannot be tolerated. It cannot just be another cost of doing business. And today, a jury of his peers held Congressman Jefferson accountable for his actions.”

Shall they go alphabetically to select the next corrupt congressman/woman or pull at random?

[Tenacious 1]

Was he still in office when he was convicted?

No problem, The Øbamanation can pardon Jefferson... and then make him the Foreign Telephone Czar!

from Judical Watch...

The convicted felon, who narrowly lost reelection to an 11th term in 2008, faces up to 150 years in prison and a hefty fine of up to hundreds of thousands of dollars. His sentencing is scheduled for the end of October. The former lawmaker will join his little sister—guilty of skimming hundreds of thousands of dollars from charities operated by her corrupt relatives—in prison, with several other family members soon to follow.

Five members of the Jefferson family, once among Louisiana’s most politically prominent, have been charged with federal crimes in the last few years and little sister Brenda Jefferson was the first to plead guilty last summer. William Jefferson’s conviction resolves the second case and three others are still pending. Among them is brother Mose Jefferson, a well-connected lobbyist, charged with bribery, money laundering and obstruction of justice involving a public school official. Clearly, corruption is a Jefferson family affair.

Still not holding my breath.
