Rep. Jane Harman Focus In Yet Another Warrantless Wiretap Scandal 312
Many different sources are talking about the latest scandal surrounding the warrantless wiretapping program. Incriminating evidence against California rep. Jane Harman was apparently captured some time ago on a legal NSA wiretap. However, Attorney General Gonzales supposedly intervened to drop the case against her because (and this is where the irony meter explodes) Bush officials wanted her to be able to publicly defend the warrantless wiretap program. "Jane Harman, in the wake of the NSA scandal, became probably the most crucial defender of the Bush warrantless eavesdropping program, using her status as 'the ranking Democratic on the House intelligence committee' to repeatedly praise the NSA program as 'essential to US national security' and 'both necessary and legal.'"

The only one I can think of off the top of my head is "Cold Cash" Jefferson from New Orleans.
I object to this scurrilous and unfounded attack on the good name of a fine representative from a great city and a great state. They called him William "Dollar Bill" Jefferson.

That was a one time aberration and should not reflect on his character as a whole. The money was in the freezer only because the cupboard was already stuffed full, and there was no time to get to the storage container or make a flight to Grand Cayman.
