A couple of weeks ago the puns were flying everywhere around Capitol Hill as Members expressed outrage – and no shortage of pluckish humor – when the FBI turned up $90,000 in cash in Congressman William Jefferson’s freezer. Comments about the power of cold, hard cash abounded everywhere – including this blog. Others talked about frozen assets and the like. Everyone got a good yuk except Jefferson, who gamely suggested there was a more benign explanation for those freeze-wrapped stacks of cash, though he was not at liberty to talk about it just yet.
