NEW ORLEANS - U.S. Rep. William Jefferson easily defeated his fellow Democratic opponent in a runoff election Saturday, despite an ongoing federal bribery investigation.

In complete but unofficial returns, Jefferson, Louisiana’s first black congressman since Reconstruction, received 57 percent of the vote over state Rep. Karen Carter, who had 43 percent.

Carter was unable to capitalize on a scandal that included allegations the FBI found $90,000 in bribe money in Jefferson’s freezer.

I didn't take the money as a bribe but it was for my winter vacation and I just wanted my money to get use to the cold. ;)

Funny to think that people would vote for someone who took a $90,000 bribe. (allegedly)
What happens when this bum goes to jail?

Hey.....be nice. I think it takes a lot of discipline to freeze that money. I would've spent it.
