    And don't forget that Cleo was photographed stuffing an envelope full of money into his pocket in Fast Eddie's office, but nothing ever came of that footage. I guess Cleo distributed a portion to the right people to avoid the heat. Maybe Dollar Bill should have consulted with Cleo prior to accepting the marked bills for his "services."

    This is all starting to sound like Kingfish and Algonquin J. Calhoun in an Amos and Andy episode.

    Crap like this is why Louisiana loses its best and brightest graduates to other states.

    Jefferson also did a good media blitz against Carter by exposing her voting record: notoriously pro-choice and pro-gay marriage. There goes the black AND conservative white vote.

    Like someone said earlier, you can attribute this vote to pure cynicism. The people who elected them may be waiting to get him out.

    Show evidence. I never once said anything about Jefferson's guilt or innocence.

    I'm not going to search this forum for the thread, no thanks.
    I'm sure you said you thought Jefferson and Delay was probably set up or something like that, I don't remember the exact conversation when we
    were talking about Delay and Jefferson.

    I have better things to do now days like watch the LSU vs Washington game!

    No. What I said was that they were probably both guilty as hell. What I most likely said is that Jefferson shouldn't lose his committee seats until he is indctied similar to Delay.

    Announcement to come this afternoon, but it looks like ole Bill will finally be charged with bribery. I'm sure we'll replace him with another crook.

    It's official. 16 counts, including racketeering, soliciting bribes and money-laundering.

    It's included in the above link.
