Thieving dumbass ousted

William Jefferson lost the run-off election for his seat in Congress:

In the 2nd Congressional District, which includes most of New Orleans, Republican attorney Anh "Joseph" Cao won 50 percent of the vote to Jefferson's 47 percent and will become the first Vietnamese-American in Congress. His only previous political experience was an unsuccessful 2007 bid for a seat in the state legislature.

The fact that 47 percent of the voters still voted for this thieving scum makes me wonder if we shouldn't just let that cesspool of idiocy drown.

So why am I calling him a thieving dumbass?

Prosecutors contend Jefferson used his influence as chairman of the congressional Africa Investment and Trade Caucus to broker deals in Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon and other African nations on behalf of those who bribed him.

The 2007 indictment claims Jefferson received more than $500,000 in bribes and demanded millions more between 2000 and 2005, including the $90,000 found in the freezer of his Washington home. Jefferson denies wrongdoing.

You know a person is too stupid for public office when they don't know how to properly channel bribes through campaign contributions and other perks under the table.

I guess the good part is at least the new guy doesn't have any experience thievin' yet. I hadn't forgotten about that Jefferson guy, but hadn't thought of him in a while.
