Oh No, Ed Jew!: Picked On, Set Up

Well, at least he can officially turn off his cable and utilities in that San Francisco house now -- Ed Jew, complaining about being "picked on" and "set up," finally admitted what all of us knew all along and pled guilty to lying about living in Burlingame while representing the Sunset on the SF Board of Supervisors.

The terms of the deal that Ed worked out with the DA are that he'll probably serve a sentence concurrent to the more serious charges of graft that he also pled guilty to in federal court (probably around two to five years, but with a max of 30). Wow, at this rate, Ed can run for senate in Alaska now!

And, because the details in this case always just get better and better, the officials also revealed that when they raided the Burlingame house for evidence in the graft case (which triggered this whole thing), they found $10,000 wrapped in tin foil in his freezer. Stylin'!

YouTube clip of a Ed Jew supporter singing Borderline with Ed Jew-centric lyrics at a Board of Supes meeting. Definitely one of the finest moments in the Oh No, Ed Jew! story.

Oh, Rita. Thanks for posting that video. I just love it so!

What is the deal with politicians keeping their kickback money in the freezer? Rep. William J. Jefferson (D-La.) did the same.

Is it because its too hot to handle? Or do they like the cool feeling of sticking a few frozen bills down their pants?

$10K in the freezer? Damn... ever heard of making a hole in the wall and then patching it up?

Ed's going to jail! Sorry, no tapioca drinks sold there, but there's plenty of other tapioca "balls" out there.

This Borderline guy goes to city hall all the time and makes his case by singing. He's probably there almost everyday attending numerous committee meetings.

Just a question for all of you:

Ed just pleaded guilty for lying about his residence. Back then, Kamala Harris issued the warrant for his arrest, and instead of surrendering to the SFPD, he went to the Burlingame cops.

I forgot the question! Is the guy a total idiot?

Is it okay to say we "got jewed" by this guy, or is that not PC?

Did the feds ever find out what happened to the rest of the $40,000 that they gave him? They've only accounted for $10,000.
