We need to talk about the Most Ethical Congress In History. Remember this smiling fellow?
The fellow with the ninety large in cash wrapped up in tinfoil in his freezer? The fellow with the ongoing ethics investigation, a member of whose staff already pled guilty to corruption? Yeah, that’s him. Congressman William Jefferson, D-La.
Well, according to Washington Post blogger Paul Kane (and via Greg Tinti), he’s going to get a seat on the Homeland Security Committee. Which is great, because what would a foreign power do to blackmail this guy? Accuse him of corruption? He can just laugh that off! “Ha! Get in line, fellas!”
