Crook "Cold Cash" "Dollar Bill" Jefferson LOSES to "Community Organizer" Cao!

Anh Joseph Cao, a little-known 41-year-old community organizer and GOP attorney, knocked off nine-term Democratic Rep. William Jefferson in a stunning upset in Louisiana's Second District to become the first Vietnamese American elected to Congress.

In recent years Jefferson has been fighting scandals and a federal indictment for money laundering, bribery and misusing his congressional office, which he denies. Last year the FBI reported finding $90,000 in marked bills in Jefferson's freezer.

#1 Does anyone else see the trend I see in Louisana politics? They seem to be going for nonwhite, nonblack Republican candidates who are . They have a long sad history of corrupt white and black politicans. Looks like a good move to me.

#2 Hey, I dont want to badmouth all of you hippie states, but we not only have the only Indian hardcore conservative governor, but we now have a hardcore conservative Congressman from Vietnam. What have YOU done lately?

Sincerely,
Louisana
