Wait just a minute there! Who among us doesn't keep our emergency funds in the freezer? According to the FBI, William Jefferson, Representative from Louisiana, does exactly that. More precisely it is reported by the FBI, he stashes $90,000 in his freezer. Perhaps this is something all people from Louisiana do? If so I would think we would have read about the notorious "freezer thieves" that roam Louisiana much like the train robbers of the wild wild west. No, if the FBI isn't making up this story, the only thief here is William Jefferson, as he has made off with the trust of his constituency. Certainly he doesn't expect anyone but an absolute "moron" to buy into his "line of reasoning" or should I say "lies" of reasoning. When caught with your hand in the cookie jar, you're caught, end of story! If he isn't in jail, and if he does run for another term in Congress, how will his constituents vote? This is the $64 question.
