Here -- just to prove to my Republican friends that I am indeed an equal opportunity condemner:
ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP)— A former Louisiana congressman who famously stashed cash in his freezer was sentenced Friday to 13 years in prison for taking hundreds of thousands in bribes in exchange for using his influence to broker business deals in Africa.
The sentence handed down in suburban Washington was far less than the nearly 30 years prosecutors had sought for William Jefferson, a Democrat who represented parts of New Orleans for nearly 20 years.
I got no problem seeing corrupt Democrats in prison jumpsuits, and the 30 year sentence prosecutors were seeking in this case would have suited me just fine.
