Witness your tax dollars at work. Poor people are dying, havoc in the streets - and this elected (your expletive of choice here) is using military resources to clean things out of his house. This is the epitome of what is wrong with American politics - no, check that - that this pathetic individual will get away with it without a fuss - THAT is the true measure of what is wrong with politics in America.
I am so fed up with these so called power brokers thinking the public dime should be at their disposal, regardless of the circumstances. The fact is, that shouldn't be the case under ANY circumstances.
This man should immediately be investigated - hauled before the House Ethics Committee and impeached. It's an outrageous abuse of the public trust. And not until good Americans begin stepping up to the challenge of tossing these bums out can we ever hope to have anything like ethical government in this country.
I'm disgusted.
Sept. 13, 3005 — Amid the chaos and confusion that engulfed New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina struck, a local congressman used National Guard troops to check on his property and rescue his personal belongings — even while New Orleans residents were trying to get rescued from rooftops, ABC News has learned.
On Friday, Sept. 2 — five days after Katrina hit the Gulf Coast — Rep. William Jefferson, D-La., who represents New Orleans and is a senior member of the powerful Ways and Means Committee, was allowed through the military blockades set up around the city to reach the Superdome, where thousands of evacuees had been taken.
Lt. Col. Pete Schneider of the Louisiana National Guard tells ABC News that during the tour, Jefferson asked that the truck take him to his home on Marengo Street, in the affluent uptown neighborhood in his congressional district. According to Schneider, this was not part of Jefferson's initial request.
The water reached to the third step of Jefferson's house, a military source familiar with the incident told ABC News, and the vehicle pulled up onto Jefferson's front lawn so he wouldn't have to walk in the water. Jefferson went into the house alone, the source says, while the soldiers waited on the porch for about an hour.
Finally, according to the source, Jefferson emerged with a laptop computer, three suitcases, and a box about the size of a small refrigerator, which the enlisted men loaded up into the truck.
"This wasn't about me going to my house. It was about me going to my district," he said.
Two Heavy Trucks and Helicopter Involved
The Louisiana National Guard tells ABC News the truck became stuck as it waited for Jefferson to retrieve his belongings.
The soldiers signaled to helicopters in the air for aid. Military sources say a Coast Guard helicopter pilot saw the signal and flew to Jefferson's home. The chopper was already carrying four rescued New Orleans residents at the time.
