I find it repulsive that Congressman Jefferson is being given a seat on the homeland security committee. The man was found to have $90,000 in his freezer, according to the FBI.
There are two possibilities here. One, he is guilty of taking a bribe or some other crime. Two, he was framed.
Either way, the charges are serious. It makes no sense to give him any seat until this issue is resolved and the investigation is complete. This is a real black eye for Democrats - who are claiming to be cracking down on corruption.

Jefferson is a disgrace and should be ostracized (Catzmaw - 3/3/2007 9:18:08 PM)
Sorry, there is just no way this guy should be getting the support he's been receiving. What the heck are the Dems thinking? He had $90,000 in marked bills in his freezer, for heaven's sake, and I'm confounded as to why he has not been indicted. At any rate, this guy shouldn't be trusted to make change for money paid to purchase a cup of coffee, let alone placed in a position of trust on any committee. I'm not buying the "frame" argument some of his supporters have used for one minute. I can't help but believe that he has been left unindicted by those who would smear and minimize the Dems' vaunted anti-corruption campaign. He deserves to be ostracized.

Regardless of your views of whether William Jefferson should or should not be in Congress, in jail, or on committees, it is worth noting that he is not a Senator.
I do not believe he has ever had any Senate committee assignents :).
He has been demoted ;-) (relawson - 3/3/2007 10:37:27 PM)
And thank God he never will hold any Senate assignments ;-)
I'm confused. Did someone say he was in the Senate? (Catzmaw - 3/4/2007 12:16:06 AM)
Guilty as charged (relawson - 3/4/2007 1:12:33 AM)
I changed the diary correcting that.
