Let's See this Spin

I am waiting for the Democratic Party apparatus to blame Republicans for this one:

A congressman under investigation for bribery was caught on videotape accepting $100,000 in $100 bills from an FBI informant whose conversations with the lawmaker also were recorded, according to a court document released Sunday. Agents later found the cash hidden in his freezer.

At one audiotaped meeting, Rep. William Jefferson, D-La., chuckles about writing in code to keep secret what the government contends was his corrupt role in getting his children a cut of a communications company's deal for work in Africa.

As Jefferson and the informant passed notes about what percentage the lawmaker's family might receive, the congressman "began laughing and said, 'All these damn notes we're writing to each other as if we're talking, as if the FBI is watching,'" according to the affidavit.

This will actually be a great benefit to his constituents, as maybe the residents of the Ninth Ward of New Orleans will have a Representative in Congress who cares; remember, this is the guy who got the National Guard to help him go get his stuff. Guess he did not want his money to thaw...
