Jon Stewart on the William Jefferson indictment.

Hiiilarious!

1. i'll have to look for that clip

i'm angered that the headline for "jefferson indicted" in the local paper is as big as the headlines for 911 or "they chose freedom" (the coup in russia), crap, republican owned asswipes much?

if jefferson did wrong by ripping off some nigerian scammers he'll pay and pay and pay, a lot more than we can say for things like bushco stealing the election or allowing people to die of dehydration in a heat index of 108 degrees while waiting DAYS for rescue at the superdome

sheesh a sense of fairness and proportion would be nice wouldn't it?

2. I agree to an extent

I dont feel sorry at all really for Jefferson though and I hope he goes to jail.

4. What if the government is unable to prove it's case? Do you hope he goes to jail then?

[MadBadger]

6. it will be a collossal failure of our justice system if they cannot prove this case

Im just waiting to hear his explanation for the 90k in the freezer. That is something Id see in The Sopranos.

7. He doesn't have to explain it.

He doesn't have the burden of proving anything, they do.
