What might be wrong with politics on the whole, as well as the American voter.

From the CNN this morning:

Rep. William Jefferson won re-election by a wide margin over fellow Democrat Karen Carter in a Louisiana runoff. He returns to Congress for a ninth term despite an FBI bribery probe in which $90,000 in cash allegedly was found in his home freezer. His presence in Washington could be embarrassing for Democrats, who won control of Congress in part on a platform of cleaning up corruption.
