The journey from there to here

Pardon the belated nature of this, but it is an appropriate foreword to my next thread:

We're a movin' on up,
(We're a movin on up.)
To the east side.
(Mo-vin on up.)
To a de-luxe apartment,
In the sky-.
Mo-vin' on up
(Mo-vin on up.)
To the east side,
(Mo-vin on up.)
We finally got a big fat bribe

Put that cash in the kitchen

I'll cast my vote for your bill


It just takes a couple Banjamins

to get my vote on the hill


Now we're up in the big leagues,
Gettin our turn at bat.
As long as we live
It's you and me baby.
There ain't nothing wrong with that.

We're a moving on up
(Mo-vin on up.)
To the east side,
(Mo-vin on up.)
To a de-luxe apartment
In the sky-.
Mo-vin on up
(Mo-vin on up.)
To the east side.
(Mo-vin on up.)
We finally got a big fat bri-i-ibe!

It's even worse when you consider that it wasn't really a bill in question, but Jefferson using his letterhead to influence foriegn governments for a private business. He allegedly met with officials from these governments on our dime to promote a tech firm using his position as co-chairman of the Congressional Africa Trade and Investment Caucus.

Now my question would be why we need a Congressional Africa Trade and Investment Caucus in the first place. That sounds like an organization just made for this kind of influence peddling.

Sorry to stink up the humor section with being serious. Funny post.

Guess he figured that since he shared 2 names with a disgraced president, he could get away with it.

Like I always say - never trust a Bill! legal or otherwise.
