Question. If Jefferson were Republican, would the headline and first sentence say:
Republican Ex-Rep. Jefferson Convicted in Bribery Scheme
Former Republican Representative William J. Jefferson was convicted Wednesday afternoon
SAME papers headline when republican Stevens was convicted.
"Alaska Senator Is Guilty Over His Failures to Disclose Gifts "
In fact they did not even mention he was a republican, just that he was running against a democrat. Yet they said jefferson was a Dem in the second paragraph.
So seems it is the Dems that got more raw deal by your standards.

Oh that's a load of crap. Every left leaning poster on this forum thinks their shit doesn't stink and that only Republicans do shiesty deals and are corrupt.

yeap its fricken disgusting. hope this guy gets to know bubba really well.Originally posted by: Lemon law
IMHO and sadly, we should note that William Jefferson used endless legal dodges to keep from going to trial for about four long years.
And now that Jefferson stands convicted on 11 of 16 counts, how many more damn years before that rascal sees the inside of a jail cell where he belongs? I would not be surprised to see him stall it out another four years or so.
There is something clearly wrong with our criminal justice system, maybe we should not rush to judgment, but crawling to judgment at less than the speed of a snail is also wrong.

A former Louisiana congressman who famously stashed cash in his freezer was sentenced Friday to 13 years in prison for taking hundreds of thousands in bribes in exchange for using his influence to broker business deals in Africa.
The sentence handed down in suburban Washington was far less than the nearly 30 years prosecutors had sought for William Jefferson, a Democrat who represented parts of New Orleans for nearly 20 years.
Wow! Not that I don't think he deserved it, but . . . I keep thinking about the guys in Vermont who have raped children hundreds of times and get three years, or six months, or even probation . . . Or that crazy astronaut chick in the diaper that attacked and tried to kidnap a woman dating her love interest, who got house arrest . . . Or the stripper in Carolina that cried gang rape and almost ruined three young men's lives and didn't even get prosecuted . . .he has been sentenced to 13 years in prison

Yes he has, but the appeals process will now start and who knows he may get a reprieve on a technicality. Always seem to happen to scumbags like him.he has been sentenced to 13 years in prison

Butner Federal Correctional Complex is a likely destination.It will be intersting in where he gets sent to serve his sentence.
Club Fed or Rock Breaker hotel?
Depends on the news station. If Jefferson was a Republican, and it was on Fox news, the headline would read:Question. If Jefferson were Republican, would the headline and first sentence say:
Republican Ex-Rep. Jefferson Convicted in Bribery Scheme
Former Republican Representative William J. Jefferson was convicted Wednesday afternoon
Democrat Ex-Rep. Jefferson Convicted in Bribery Scheme
Former Democrat Representative William J. Jefferson was convicted Wednesday afternoon
High-ranking politicians wouldn't get sent to a prison where they'd meet Bubba in the first place. Not because politicians are too good to go to such a place, but because of security concerns. If Bubba harbors a deep hatred and resentment towards authority figures and assaults, or even murders this Jefferson fella... Well, it wouldn't look good, to say the least.Should we empower sexual sadists in our prison system as a measure of our justice system?
C'mon, that ain't necessary.but, but, but, Only REPUBLIRATS are corrupt
I really don't like the word 'technicality'. Frequently 'getting off on a technicality' is actually legal shorthand for 'had your Constitutional rights violated'.Yes he has, but the appeals process will now start and who knows he may get a reprieve on a technicality. Always seem to happen to scumbags like him.
Another interesting note on the whole thing is that even though his district was won by a Republican for the first time in I-don't-even-know how long, that replacement was the lone Republican 'yes' vote on the health care bill.C'mon, that ain't necessary.
The dude was a complete turd. If the democrats admit it, there's no reason to be nasty.
On a side note, my wife's family was represented in court by Jefferson's replacement!
