NEW ORLEANS - U.S. Rep. William Jefferson easily defeated his fellow Democratic opponent in a runoff election Saturday, despite an ongoing federal bribery investigation.
In complete but unofficial returns, Jefferson, Louisiana's first black congressman since Reconstruction, received 57 percent of the vote over state Rep. Karen Carter, who had 43 percent.
Carter was unable to capitalize on a scandal that included allegations the
FBI found $90,000 in bribe money in Jefferson's freezer.

If the guy is a thief and a bum... and all indications are that this is so.... I ould have liked to see him get taken out with the trash..... just leave the kitchen to me though.... I'll clean out that refrigerator. :wink:
If he had defeated a Republican, I could have seen something to grasp onto, but it was another Democrat. He must have lots of friends.
Yeah. Friends that don't want him saying where the money came from.
seemingly sad and disappointing that you can pay for what you get
not that i'm implying anything or anything :wink:
People vote more with their hearts, than with their brains.

Rumor is that there is at least one more Republican to be investigated for corruption when the next term begins.
I guess they will be the Twiddly Dee-Twiddle Dum twins.

The old saying "crime doesn't pay" no longer applies.
