That’s what William Jefferson said he delivered to Nigerian Vice President Atiku Abubakar.
Rep. William Jefferson called the package he allegedly delivered at midnight to the suburban Maryland home of Nigeria’s vice president “African art.” Authorities say the “art” was meant to be cash – lots of it.
Court documents filed in the bribery probe of the Louisiana Democrat allege that Jefferson told an FBI informant he took the “art,” which authorities believe was code for $100,000 in $100 bills, to the Potomac home of Atiku Abubakar on July 31.
I guess this is what constitutes African Art now.
UPDATE: Lorie Byrd has a post talking about how Dems want Jefferson to step down from the Ways and Means Committee. (Thanks for the link, Lorie)
By the way, if anyone wants to drop a bit of “African Art” in the tip jar, that would be just fine.
UPDATE II: Dr. Shackleford is having issues spending too much “African Art” on his bathroom remodel. If that’s the case he needs to keep the Mrs. away from this. In any case, thanks for the link.

But it would be counterfeit currency so it would be of no use. In that regards, I just tried dropping a Jeffersonian c-bill into your tip jar. Paypal though seems to have rejected it.
Hmmm…Thanks for that bit of information (on Paypal). I’ll have to dig into it a bit further. Quickly.
And Thanks!
