Wednesday, Aug. 5th, 2009 a federal jury convicted William Jefferson on that freezer case, where the feds found the cash in the icebox in his home. They convicted him of 11 out of the 16 counts and now Jefferson is facing decades in prison.

When this case first hit the news, I remember thinking how nuts the whole thing was. He was fingernails on a chalkboard to me. Do you remember when he pulled out the race card and said it was some cultural thing where blacks always keep money in the freezer? Like the fact that he had 90,000 dollars wrapped in foil in his freezer was something common across the country in the black community.

It was completely insane; whites put their money under the mattress and blacks put it in the freezer? Maybe we should tell the crooks that break and enter into our homes that they are targeting the wrong neighborhoods. That man was the poster boy for slummy politicians and their felonious ways.

Let us not forget that right after he was caught with his hands in the dirty politician’s cookie jar, Nancy Pelosi got him a job in the Homeland Security Department, of all places. This is just another reminder for all of us of the rapacious and crooked politicians that are sent to do the peoples’ work and how they are not working for us, but rather themselves.

Another interesting thing to note is the lack of press coverage of this subject. We all know if this were a Republican, it would be looped on the news for days. No-no-no, people say there is no bias. Everything that surrounded this story is a case study of our broken country and should be taught in the schools and universities coast to coast.

I’m sure the next chapter on William Jefferson will be how he was sent to club fed at some minimum-security federal prison. I say make this bum an example and send him to “the hot house.” That is right; send him to Leavenworth. These politicians have been robbing us blind for years.

They have fancy names for it like “stimulus.”
