William Jefferson... still in Congress

| Quote: | From NBC's Doug Adams
Remember William Jefferson, the Louisiana congressman who was indicted last year on bribery, racketeering and money laundering charges?
Well, he's still in Congress, and he's likely to stay there for a while.
Technically, Jefferson still has to win a Dec. 6th runoff in Louisiana. But his opponent, little known Republican lawyer Anh "Joseph" Cao, stands
little chance in Louisiana’s heavily Democratic second congressional district.
Ironically, Jefferson's long-delayed federal trial is also likely to start that week -- Dec. 2nd in Virginia.
Last week, the Fourth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals cleared the way for the trial to start -- upholding his indictment by ruling that Jefferson's
rights weren't violated when the grand jury received evidence that violated legislative immunity. |
Louisiana's version of former Rep. Adam Clayton Powell. Except there almost no way in Hades (short of a conviction, if then) that the current D
BHouse leadership will have the integrity to make Rep. Jefferson, "former".

Board confirms Coleman-Franken vote
By Kevin Duchschere, Star Tribune
Last update: November 18, 2008 - 5:09 PM
Minneapolis St. Paul Star Tribune
| Quote: | The
state Canvassing Board today directed that a recount begin tomorrow in the U.S. Senate race between Republican Sen. Norm Coleman and DFLer Al Franken,
even as the board considers a last-minute request from the Franken campaign to include rejected absentee and mailed ballots in the initial count.
The board confirmed that, with all the state’s 87 counties reporting, Coleman leads Franken by 215 votes out of more than 2.9 million votes cast.
After county canvasses showed a margin of 206, Coleman gained an additional 25 votes, and Franken 16, from a post-election audit of voting machines in
205 randomly-selected precincts.
“The report triggers the counting by hand of the four races which will begin tomorrow morning,” said Secretary of State Mark Ritchie, chair of the
five-member canvassing board. |
Keeping my fingers crossed...

Minn. Senate race recount 'a little bit suspicious'
Jim Brown - OneNewsNow - 11/17/2008 8:00:00 AM
| Quote: | A
recount begins Wednesday in the Minnesota Senate race between incumbent Republican Norm Coleman and Democratic challenger Al Franken. A former member
of the Federal Election Commission says the vote counting up until this point has been, at the very least, unusual.
...
"You would expect that as corrections come in, they're going to basically follow the vote totals that came in Election Day for the candidates -- and
the corrections, you know, you're going to have them for both candidates," he asserts. "That hasn't happened, and that's what I think would tend
to make people a little bit suspicious about it."
Almost half of the vote corrections after Election Day came in from the liberal precinct of Two Harbors. Oddly, there were no other corrections or
errors in any other races on the ballots in that precinct. Von Spakovsky says Democratic Secretary of State Mark Ritchie does not seem to understand
that it is his job to investigate such discrepancies. |
Why would Sec State Ritchie even want to investigate these oddities? Any more than the MSM, who are emitting the sound of one cricket chirping?

Obama Advisor
Valerie Jarrett Linked to Real Estate Scandals
Judicial Watch
November 14, 2008
| Quote: | Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, announced today that it has
obtained documents linking Valerie Jarrett, an advisor to Barack Obama and the co-chairman of the President-Elect's transition team, to a series of
real estate scandals, including several housing projects operated by convicted felon and Obama fundraiser/friend Antoin "Tony" Rezko.
According to the documents obtained by Judicial Watch from the Illinois Secretary of State, Valerie Jarrett served as a board member for several
organizations that provided funding and support for Chicago housing projects operated by real estate developers and Obama financial backers Rezko and
Allison Davis. (Davis is also Obama's former boss.) Jarrett was a member of the Board of Directors for the Woodlawn Preservation and Investment
Corporation along with several Davis and Rezko associates, as well as the Fund for Community Redevelopment and Revitalization, an organization that
worked with Rezko and Davis. |
Of all of the c__p that's come out about Pres.-elect Obama, his aiding and abetting these reprehensible victimizers of poor Chicagoans is one of the
most incomprehensible of all the MSM's coverage failures.

Baylor Head Says Tree
Rope was Swing, Not Noose
By The Associated Press

| Quote: | WACO, Texas (AP) - The head of Baylor University says a rope found in a campus tree on Election Day was apparently an abandoned
swing - not a noose.
...
Some students who made the swing met with student leaders who were planning a unity march, according to Garland. The meeting organizers understand the
Nov. 4 incident "as an unfortunate misunderstanding," the Baylor head adds.
Baylor police also dispelled reports that students burned Obama campaign signs in barbecue pits. They were empty computer boxes, Garland says, not
campaign signs. |
More paranoia and rumor.
