I think I found one does anyone else have any ideas?

An all-new lobbying scandal has landed in U.S. District Court in Alexandria, Virginia. Brett Pfeffer, former top aide to Democratic Louisiana Congressman William Jefferson, is pleading guilty to charges of bribery of public officials and conspiracy. According to Pfeffer’s plea, Jefferson sought bribes, jobs for his children and other favors for providing political support to a company setting up Internet service in Nigeria. Within the next few days, we can look forward to a whole new list of primarily Democratic members who associated with Pfeffer.

William Jefferson is going to have a runoff election against Karen Carter Dec. 9, but he was already burned by the whole "cash in the freezer" escapade, so I don't see how having one of his aides getting busted make it worse than it already was.

His aid will surely name associates of Jefferson who will turn out to be Congressman/former ones. We might also hear where th $ came from.

Hell, I thought it was Saddam being found guilty and sentenced to death.

No doubt that like William Jefferson, there are so compromised Democrats, but absolute power corrupts absolutely, and for the last 12 years its been Republicans running things in DC. Dennis Hastert has more to worry about given his Abramoff connections than Harry Reid.
