The New Bill Jefferson Scandal!
07.09.09 -- 1:13PM
By David Kurtz



People outside Louisiana marveled that former Rep. "Dollar" Bill Jefferson (D-LA) could get re-elected in 2006 even after he was indicted and accused of hiding $90,000 in bribes in the freezer in his house. But to anyone from Louisiana, it was pretty typical. Taking your share of the pie is accepted, even expected. (Jefferson was eventually defeated in 2008.)

But what we didn't know then and what would probably have ended Jefferson's political career immediately was another thing he kept in that freezer of his: veggie burgers. The incriminating evidence emerged yesterday in Jefferson's corruption trial (we have more pictures here): http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/gallery/2009/07/jefferson-freezer-cash.php?img=4

6. People, do not hide your money in the freezer! Everybody does it and that's

the first place burglars or cops, depending on whose interested, go to look!

[ProdigalJunkMail]

8. i thought it was under the mattress?

with small amounts of money we have it wouldn't even get lumpy...

sP

[Cleita]

10. No, the freezer has replaced the mattress.

I once did bookkeeping for small restaurants and even though I advised every one of them to invest in a floor safe to put money in if they couldn't make it to the bank after closing, every single one of them hid the day's receipts in the freezer and every single one of them got burglarized, at least once, and the burglars knew to go directly to the freezer.

[ProdigalJunkMail]

17. wow...now I know where to look when wandering through the neighbors' houses

and yes, a floor safe is always a beautiful thing...

sP

[snooper2]

7. It should be against the law to advertise that as a burger

:rofl:

[Solly Mack]

9. The ultimate "green" burger. In Boca he shouldn't have trusted.

[kpete]

11. yummmmmmmmmmmmm

[Solly Mack]

13. I like the Boca spicy chik'n patties too

I use them to make a low-fat Chicken Parmesan.

[Warpy]

15. Well, damn, I'll never be able to look at my beloved Bocas the same way

Jefferson, damn yer eyes, couldn't you have put it in one of those Night Hawk steak dinner boxes?

[Arugula Latte]

16. Mmmmm ... Boca Burgers

I eat 'em every week.

[Ignis]

18. That's definitely a serious sin in the South.

They should ship them out to me, so I can...er, examine the evidence.

*burp*

[MicaelS]

19. Imagine if someone had broken in and stolen the money

That's hilarious to think about. Just imagine the police report. :evilgrin:
