Jefferson Indicted - Finally

Excellent. People who know me know I lean Democratic. They also know that I can have a short fuse about certain issues...one of the shortest fuses involves government corruption. Most people have no idea what havoc and despair a corrupt government can wreak on societies - fly to Haiti, or Zimbabwe sometime if you think that's an overstatement. And even if it's just one Congressional representative, then somewhere thousands of American citizens have not only not been represented, but have had their right perverted to serve the means of an unworthy individual. My sympathy for those people is a little tainted, unfortunately, because they voted the bum back into office - and on a very slippery campaign which painted the opponent as a far-left loonie not in touch with the values of the constituency. Tell me - was the $90,000 found in the freezer during a police search more in line with those values?
