I want you to run for office. I want you to win. Then I want to lead the drive to impeach you and run you out of the country on a speedboat heading for Cuba. The speedboat will have a slow leak in it. :)

Jefferson had taken a defiant and assertive stance in recent appearances, but he appeared softer-spoken and more hesitant yesterday. "There's a criminal investigation going on regarding this, and my lawyers have advised me not to discuss, and I will not discuss any of the alleged facts in the case," he said, wringing his hands as he faced the cameras. "That would be extraordinarily foolhardy to avoid their advice." Jefferson said of his political future: "I expect to run for reelection, but that's a matter that's down the road." John Maginnis, editor of the Louisiana Political Fax Weekly newsletter, says he is always surprised when politicians get caught in such acts of malfeasance. "It's not a very good reflection on the state to have your congressman accused of taking bribes at the same time Louisianans are trying to get money out of the federal government," Maginnis said, referring to the recovery from Hurricane Katrina. Staff writers Allan Lengel and Linton Weeks and research editor Lucy Shackelford contributed to this report.
