Well, shame is probably not the right word, since Jefferson apparently has none. But photos of his freezer (aka The First Refrigerated State Bank of Louisiana) shown to the jury in his corruption trial disclose not just the $90,000 cash he had stored there . . .

Embarrassing and shameful!

. . . but also that some of it was hidden inside a box of Boca “meatless burgers.”

Even more embarrassing and shameful!

Hat tip to Fred Thompson, who made the point well this morning on his radio show: A man who eats meatless burgers has no business being in Congress, and he (Thompson) would rather admit to having $90,000 in cash in his freezer than admit to having meatless burgers in it.

Amen.
