The Itchy & Scratchy show: 'Dollar Bill' Jefferson indicted






Breaking news!

And it's about time!


From ABC News blogger:

ABC News' Jason Ryan Reports: Congressman William Jefferson, D-La., has been indicted by a federal grand jury in Alexandria.

The 16 count indictment has just been returned. The charges include racketeering, solicitation of bribes, honest services wire fraud, money laundering, obstruction of justice, violating the foreign corrupt practices act, and conspiracy. The indictment relates to an alleged bribery scheme for him and his family and his alleged bribery of a Nigerian official.

The indictment is 94 pages. If convicted on all charges Jefferson would be sentenced to 235 years in prison.

Jefferson better hope his vitamins will keep him living longer in prison!
