See it's not just the Republicans who are corrupt. William Jefferson (D-LA) was caught on film accepting a $100,000 bribe and the money (matching serial numbers) was found in his home freezer. And the idiot refuses to resign. And in spite of headlines like William Jefferson Responds to Bribery Investigation he hasn't said a thing about it. "Congressman Jefferson says his lawyers have advised him not to discuss it and he will not discuss any of the alleged facts of this case."
Update: Jefferson and some other Democrats are complaining that the FBI searched Jefferson's office over the weekend. They say this might have been unconstitutional. It seems this is probably the first time a congressional office was searched. I'm all for separation of powers but congressmen aren't above the law just like the president isn't. Video tape of the bribe and finding the money in his home is pretty compelling. We don't know what they were searching for but they did get a warrant from a federal judge. The other odd part is he hasn't been charged yet but his homes were search last August, I'm assuming that's the time they found the money in his freezer. If so, I have no idea what they are waiting for.
