Try Harder, America!
We have some pretty crappy scandals in this country. Hunter Biden has a laptop – a laptop he’d rather not share with the world. Oh my. Hillary Clinton had – shocker! – email. Can you even imagine a grown woman with email? Donald Trump wanted to grab women by the papaya. Honey, you could smell perversion on that man in the next zip code. Admit it, when you saw that guy, you put your fruit under lock and key.
Nobody understands financial crimes and scandals because we’ve never had enough money to criminalize it. Shoplifting and hot checks is about all that’s left. Louie Gohmert has probably come close to that, but he’s not in office anymore and that takes all the fun out of it.
Hell, you can have dinner with a damn Nazi and it appears to be the fault of southern hospitality and good manners.
Nah … America needs a fun scandal – a scandal we can understand and enjoy.
They say it appears to be about $500,000 but that he could have stolen up to $3 million. And put it in his sofa like a damnfool.
Now, that right there is a scandal we can all enjoy.

Congressman William Jefferson. He got 13 years and that was 13 years ago, so he is just about ready for his comeback.
1There is a 2003 oral history interview of Jefferson, which seems to require a subscription. I’d give a purty to see it.
2The Surly Professor @ 8 Lol great stories! I saw the spaghetti harvest somewhere on the TV about 40 years ago and luckily found it recently on utube. Still gives me a chuckle.

4The true buffalo (not bison) are native to the eastern hemisphere. In South Africa, the native version is the Cape Buffalo. That’s a big game species. I don’t know if they ranched like cattle, of if what was called a ranch in the article is what we would call a game preserve.
