Demonstrating Their Priorities
It's OK to have Representative "Frozen Cash" Jefferson on the Home Security Committee--just don't put him in charge of anything serious, like taxes:
Pelosi removed Jefferson from the tax-writing Ways and Means Committee in response to Justice Department allegations that the Louisiana Democrat had accepted $100,000 in bribes and stored $90,000 of them in his freezer. The speaker then gave Jefferson a seat on the Homeland Security, and Democrats agreed to the change in a closed-door caucus in February.
"The idea that Homeland Security is less important than the tax-writing committee is ludicrous," Blunt said Wednesday.

Most of the poor folks who voted for Jefferson don't earn enough to be taxed, so move him over to the committee where he can be bring home the bacon in hurricane relief and port security.

'pelosi' means 'hairy' or 'furry.'
Not that that means anything.
