The federales have found $90k in the freezer of Louisiana Democrat Congressman William Jefferson (motto: "Not William Jefferson Clinton"), alleged to be from bribes that the congressman received. The matter remains under investigation.
This is pretty bad news for the Ds, especially those who follow Howard Dean's notion that the party can win in November by running against Republican corruption. It seems that the Democrats have their sinners too, and unhappily for them, the locus of scandal correlates nicely with the hypothesis that the historical corruption and ineptitude of New Orleans and Louisiana politicians mostly explains the poor response to Hurricane Katrina.
And if that's not enough, Michael Barone continues to crunch political numbers with a positive yield for Republicans.
So we urge political conservatives to (a) think positively about the upcoming election; (b) clean out their freezers and refrigerators regularly.
Oh yes! And don't take bribes!
