Immersed in a bribery scandal, re-elected Rep. William “Refrigerator” Jefferson receives a standing ovation from Congressional Black Caucus
WASHINGTON (CNN) — On the same day that the 110th Democratic-led Congress convenes with a plan to immediately pass lobbyist and ethics reforms, the Congressional Black Caucus Thursday gave a standing ovation to Rep. William Jefferson, the Louisiana Democrat who faces an FBI probe into bribery allegations.
“The haters… and negative nabobs…the people who spoke against him couldn’t prevail against the people who spoke for him,” Dr. Michael Eric Dyson, master of ceremonies for the CBC’s celebratory event, said Thursday morning.
Just when you thought the moral bankruptcy of the CBC couldn’t get any worse. Of course, what can you expect from an group of Democrats who have repeatedly aligned themselves with anti-war/military hate-Bush wacko Michael Moore, even giving him an award during the 2004 Democratic National Convention?
