Incriminating evidence emerge in Dollar Bill Jerfferson's trial

TPM:

People outside Louisiana marveled that former Rep. "Dollar" Bill Jefferson (D-LA) could get re-elected in 2006 even after he was indicted and accused of hiding $90,000 in bribes in the freezer in his house. But to anyone from Louisiana, it was pretty typical. Taking your share of the pie is accepted, even expected. (Jefferson was eventually defeated in 2008.)

But what we didn't know then and what would probably have ended Jefferson's political career immediately was another thing he kept in that freezer of his: veggie burgers. The incriminating evidence emerged yesterday in Jefferson's corruption trial (we have more pictures here):

lol I saw the pic was laughing. Besides I like veggie burgers. Did the money have to next to the veggie burgers?

Anyway, it will be interesting how Jefferson's defense attorney will argue.
