Dollar Bill Jefferson, on trial for bribery and being stupid enough to keep $90,000.00 in Boca Burger containers in his freezer, was seen on tape accepting the bribes by the jury. I could sympathize with the cash in the freezer, what with government taking over the banking industry, but I think the video may make a conviction a foregone conclusion. Apparently the bribes were for brokering deals in Africa. New Orleans Mayor C. Ray Nagin, the "boob with shoes" according to local radio commentator John Osterlind (and I wholeheartedly agree), has taken multiple trips to South Africa, after the latest of which, he was quarantined by China. It's a shame, China finally does the world a favor and then let him go. Jefferson is the head of the so called political machine in New Orleans. His whole family, seriously, damned near every one of them, is either under indictment or has been charged with some sort of abuse of public office. Given the recent activities at city hall such as the suddenly missing email account of Nagin, I wonder if it is too much to think that maybe the FBI should be looking into him for similar abuses.
