This is a major disappointment for Democrats. Representative William "cold cash in the freezer" Jefferson has won his run-off election in Louisiana.

This creates a worry, Washington can be just as corrupting for Democrats as for Republicans, although as Bill Maher says, they just sell out to a much more benign set of special interests. But how long will it before we have a Democratic ethics scandal because of this guy? They should throw him out of the party, out of congress, and ideally into jail. I mean, no one has 90k in cash in their freezer (and FBI cash at that) for an honest reason.
