yeah,looks like a guy i'd give $100,000 in cash to...
Unfortunately, the GOP foolishly diverted attention from the crime by accusing the FBI of violating the Constitution in conducting the search.
The GOP leadership is dumb as rocks.
Short of their own corruption, I don't know what they could have been thinking. Others have attributed some grand political scheme to this, or plain worry over the constitutionality, but I don't see it. It was just plain dumb.
I understand it. It's due to a false impression of their own self-importance. They don't seem to understand that they are no better than anyone else.
"Put some ice on it."
Rep. William Jefferson is merely following the Culture of Corruption legacy of Bill Clinton.
It would he hard to come up with the name of any politician from Louisian who did not leave office a rich man -- other than David Duke.
Talk about a brood of vipers.
Rocks are smarter.
Video of Marion Barry smoking crack may have slowed his political career, but it did not stop it.
I'm getting so sick and tired of this damning sound bite regarding Tom DeLay. He will be vindicated when the trial does take place, unless Earle throws in the towel before it starts. In the meantime, the drive-by media gets to continue trying to destroy him for their own politically biased purposes.
What's the deal about wrapping the cash in foil and putting it in the freezer?
Is he worried about the 'freshness' of his bribe??
Does anyone know if William Jefferson, Democrat Louisiana, has a wife? I mean....my husband couldn't find the tin-foil, and he sure couldn't stash anything in our freezer without me knowing what it was.
They can't? Art. I, Sec. 5:
Each House shall be the Judge of the Elections, Returns, and Qualifications of its own Members....
Clearly an attempt to fool those looking for it. I think the idea is that someone looks in the fridge, sees tin foil, and thinks there are steaks wrapped up, not thousands of dollars.
Apparently the FBI is not fooled by such tactics.
Dennis Haster is an idiot.
There, I said it.
Why this man would defend the FBI from acting (with a Judge's authority) to confiscate evidence is beyond me. Hastert must either be on crack cocaine, or he is a mental patient.
He is full of arrogance if he thinks members of Congress are beyond morality and the laws that Congress themselves pass.
I hope someone who knows him or works for him reads this. Tell him he did irreparable damage, and he should apologize to the GOP, and more importantly, to God.
I meant to say attacking the FBI.
That is why we call them The Stupid Party.
I guess the rats "culture of corruption" mantra isn't working out too well.
I think you're on to something. They threw away the perfect trump.
