#1 Speedy?

Odd choice of words. Do they mean as speedy as it took them to approve the probe? The guy might die of old age before this is all done.

One bit of data that seems to be missing from this article for some reason is which year the dirtbag got caught with the money in his freezer. Was it 2005?

#2 I think he should stay in Congress. We have a representative government, and the criminals have a right to representation too. His district has the highest murder rate in the country (by a factor of 50-100%!), so who better than he should be that representative?
Seriously, shouldn't he be convicted before being kicked out? He should resign, but I am not so sure he should be kicked out. Sets kind of a bad precenent.

#3 I also love how the article goes out of its way not to explicitly mention Jefferson's a Democrat...

#4 Democrats never resign. Deny, deny, deny and hope you get that one moonbat juror you need for the hung jury...

#5 It was certainly some time ago, gorb. And at the time the House refused to refer the case to the ethics committee.

#6 Speedy, as in 'we gotta get this guy outta here, before the media slips up and calls him a Democrat'.

#7 Speedy, as in, not-too-soon-after-the-last-election-but-a-long-way-away-from-the-next-one.

I question the timing. Again.

#9 As as I am concerned the nutty people in his district just reelected him knowing full well that he was a crook, so leave him in place.
