Indicted vs. Incompetent. Some choice.

My grandfather used to say that "LIFE magazine was for those who couldn't read, and TIME magazine was for those who couldn't think". Alas, this article in TIME may need a lot of thought.

The indictment of Rep. William Jefferson early this month surprised no one, not even the voters who elected him to a ninth consecutive term in Congress last year. But what caught many off guard was the breadth of the government's charges against the New Orleans Democrat, which now has everyone guessing who will emerge if the state's most influential African-American politician goes down. Many are putting their money on New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin.

Is that REALLY the best we can do???????? I mean, this guy is also running a big city in Louisiana. Pretty successfully, too.
