DOLLAR BILL'S UROLOGY DEFENSE
I've got to give Dollar Bill Jefferson's lawyers props for creativity. They're trying to exclude an incriminating statement allegedly made by the Klepto Congressman while the Feebs were searching his Marengo Street digs. Why? Dollar Bill really, really had to pee and the Feebs wouldn't let him go wee-wee for over 2 hours. And at 58, when you gotta go, you gotta go. Yeah, that's an oversimplification but it's funnier than writing in lawyerese. The Picayune asked two NOLA urologists whether or not Dollar Bill could hold it that long and they had different opinions.
Dollar Bill's urology defense is sooo naturally N'awlins. This is a city where people freely discuss their bodily functions because of the need to find a place to pee during Carnival. It will be amusing to see how this plays out in federal court in Northern Virginia. I'm not sure if the judge has ever overimbibed on Fat Tuesday and felt a sense of desperation or not. Stay tuned for urology updates...
Huh. Did they play any Benny Grunch to emphasize the excuse? "Ain't no
place to pee on Mardi Gras Day..."
I'm sure I don't have to tell you how little the government cares if a
private citizen has to pee while under police detention.
Classic. One of the comments on the TP article
What a pissant defense.
Ah, the pee-pee defense. This may replace the Twinkies defense.
With the recent problems certain politicians have had in the bathroom
recently, Jefferson should stay as far away as possible from them.
