First Viet Congressman ever! Joseph Anh Cao beat William Jefferson

 

Voters in Louisiana just elected the very first Vietnamese-American Congressman ever, sending Anh Joseph Cao (pictured) to Capitol Hill and rejected the re-election bid of William Jefferson, under indictment for corruption, reports the AP here.

With 79 percent of precincts reporting, Cao had 52.9 percent of the vote to Jefferson’s 43.2 percent, says CNN here.

Cao, registered Republican, is an immigration lawyer and community activist who once pursued the priesthood with the Jesuits.

Hailing from New Orleans’s Versailles — the area of almost 100% Vietnamese , best known to outsiders as an area heavily damaged by Katrina — Cao is said to be affiliated with Boat People S.O.S., a refugee rights advocacy group based in Washington DC.

Jefferson, the incumbent, is Louisiana’s first black Congress member since Reconstruction. He has been indicted for corruption. Among other evidence, Jefferson was videotaped by the FBI receiving $100,000 worth of $100 bills in a leather briefcase at the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Arlington, Virginia.

Cao, a political newcomer, won in the district that’s 62% African-American and only 11% Republican.

  1. Jung Kim says:

    Why are they so afraid of our good viet leaders?

    Welcome to USA a cultural melting pot with limitless opportunities and face the reality I might add.

    A 150000 viet population is not a someone’s chump change and we are ready to install right leaders to represent our community with pride.

    Lou and Loretta, it’s your time to start packing.

  2. Jung Kim says:

    CDE, only truth is GM and Ford is failing without our government’s help today.

    Spin any stories which are not directly related to our leader’s conduct..only to serve your Loretta’s interests. I say you are worse than a vietcong! a dirty prostitute!

  3. Jung Kim says:

    CDE, I have just received a complain calls from dirty prostitutes and they say you are one ditch below them….. now I am getting a call from a vietcong.

  4. No Bogus says:

    Here’s more Vietnamese pride for you. Don’t forget Cyndi’s brother, Dennis Nguyen, a Sacramento chiropractor who did not perform the services that were charged. He pleaded no contest to the felony conspiracy charge and was sentenced to 120 days in jail and five years’ probation. He also lost his chiropractor’s license.

    Here’s the article from the LA Times or click on my name above:

    And Paul Lucas, the GG City and Assembly candidate, continues to post the article on his website:

  5. Jung Kim says:

    They say you are a pathetic loser serving leftist ideology over our community’s interests and you belong inside of cave chamber next to the Loretta’s.

  6. Jung Kim says:

    Yeah… since when we voted for one’s family members into the office?

    Bring out other elected people’s family member’s life stories and we will vote for the best family tree lines. You misearable Cong! But we will take over your Loretta’s seat soon… in blink of eye! Thanks for your participation. An idiot Cong!

  7. No Bogus says:

    According to the article:

    Law enforcement was targeting Cyndi Nguyen and Dennis Nguyen for several years before they were arrested. In fact, eight law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, City of Livermore police, the California Department of Insurance Fraud Division and the Sacramento district attorney were involved in the investigation.

  9. Jung Kim says:

    Hey No Suck, keep licking all anti viet Dems until they disappear…… before we meet them on the election night!

  10. People read the links says:

    Informed Viet readers will not be fooled by your deception, Jung Kim.

  11. Jung Kim says:

    No Suck, you invite Paul, Lou and Loretta……….we will take care of them in 2010!

    Mr. Cao had more hills to climb for his win but our basic political structure is already set in place to boot them out because we are united more than ever!

  12. Jung Kim says:

    No Suck, you know people read my words…… the official guru of viet town. Not your anti viet community cong trash!

  13. Jung Kim says:

    Only deceptin is you say you don’t suck but readers also know you swallow….. communist ideology sugar coated under false democracy protecting Baldy Lou and lost Loretta!

  14. United Li'l Saigon says:

    Yes, Viets in Little Saigon are ready for other Viet candidates to vote into office, not Jung Kim’s boss.

    No Bogus, can you post the links again? I think they were lost somewhere.

    Mr. Cao is Mr. Cao and has nothing to do with your boss, Jung Kim.

  15. No Bogus says:

    According to the LA Times article:

    Along with Van Tran’s wife, Cyndi Nguyen, “Five others were convicted as part of a scheme to defraud auto insurance companies of tens of thousands of dollars.”

    Cyndi Nguyen and her five associates formed a criminal gang:

    “Investigators said they used undercover agents to show that the criminal ring would recruit people involved in a traffic accident and coach them on how to file fraudulent insurance claims.”

  16. Jung Kim says:

    Hey united cong, let me rminds you the hard to swallow fact : Mr. Cao is a proud Viet republican leader!

  17. Jung Kim says:

    No Suck, let me see the records of your wife’s abortion experiences without your knowledge. Got you idiot cong!

  18. Jung Kim says:

    No Suck, your babe now single Loretta has a long laundry list. What a surprise!

  19. Jung Kim says:

    No Suck, do you want to know about your baldy Lou?

  20. Jung Kim says:

    No Suck…… I don’t usually play dirty by encroaching in their private family affairs. No Suck, go swallow!

  21. Jung Kim says:

    After swallowing….. go gargle and vote for our viet candidates before we make a cong soup out of you! Got it?

  22. United Li'l Saigon says:

    Jung Kim, what about mentioning the name of your boss to remind our wonderful Viet readers who he is? Can anyone from wonderful Little Saigon tell us who Jung Kim’s boss is?

    Time for new Viet leadership…

  23. No Suck says:

    Jung Kim, you are right, I no suck. But you? You are Yes Suck.

  24. Jung Kim says:

    Hey united cong, read my lips….. I do not have boss because I am the guru. Can’t get it because you are heavy duty idiot!

  25. Jung Kim says:

    No suck but you swallow and your belly is showing your addiction of swallowing unsanitary fluids. Swallow and enjoy!

  26. Jung Kim says:

    Until it pops!

  27. Jung Kim says:

    Let’s get rid of Lou and Loretta!

  28. United Li'l Saigon says:

    Jung Kim, your name is synonymous with the other name, whose character is in question. No need to mention it; the connection is so tight.

  29. Jung Kim says:

    Hey only tight connection is between you and baldy man.

  30. Jung Kim says:

    You are so close you can use your index fingers to squeege his fattened balls.

  31. United Li'l Saigon says:

    No Bogus, looks like Jung Kim is trying to inundate your links with his endless rambling. Be sure to post the links from time to time to allow people to find them.

  32. No Bogus says:

    More from the LA Times article:

    The investigation documents noted that Cyndi Nguyen’s “role was to craft a false statement that could win an insurance payout.”

    “After charging Nguyen with nine felonies and three misdemeanors, the Sacramento district attorney agreed to allow her to plead no contest to the three lesser charges in 2004.”

    “The same year, the couple married, and Tran began his first term in Sacramento.”

    Awww, what a LOVE STORY! Van Tran married her anyway, even though she was part of a gang and had a criminal record.

  33. Jung Kim says:

    Jokings set aside, we have a great opportunities in installing 2 high offices by the viets in 2010!

  34. Jung Kim says:

    No Suck, the tribune holding company is filing for BK today. When ever you lick bad things happen. When your wife gives you a bad time, lick her!

  35. Jung Kim says:

    No Suck, there is a valid story your wife had a membership to the illegal abortion hole in viet town.

  36. Jung Kim says:

    You slept with your wife after she was pregnant by your close friend.
    What a love story!

  37. Jung Kim says:

    I mean a gang banging story!

  38. Jung Kim says:

    No Suck…….. maybe she wanted to be..

  39. Jung Kim says:

    Mr. Cao, help us to elect more good viets to the state senate and congressional offices at OC!

  40. Mai Thu says:

    Why did the Honorable Van Tran marry his wife after he found out she was a gang member and criminal?

    Insurance fraud might be ‘no big deal’ for Mr. Tran. May be Mr. Tran is use to fraud and crime. But insurance fraud is very serious crime.

  41. Jung Kim says:

    No Suck, high crime is your anti viet behavior. Why did you marry your opposit sex?

  42. Jung Kim says:

    Well if you voted for No on Prop 8……. why did you marry your same sex?

    Why did Loretta married her ex? Why did she split with plenty of dough?

    Why?

    Why?

    Why do you lick? I don’t know but we need to replace baldy Lou and lost Loretta!

  43. Jung Kim says:

    Why did Janet marry to a White man? I don’t know

    Why do Andrew has a happy chick? I don’t know

    But these things are irrelevent to their official leadership activities.

  44. Jung Kim says:

    Why does almost all american presidents had blemishes in their family line?

    And why they were all voted into the top office?

    Take the life as how it is like a man!

  45. Jung Kim says:

    Find me some one without any flaws…you name it, physically or morally or financially.
    And there is no one that I know of!

    Oops, except the official viet town guru Jung Kim!

  46. ZYX says:

    Mai Thu,

    Why is Janet Nguyen’s family members are sued for fraud and all kinds of dirty financial deeds? Did you see all the law suits? About a dozen of them.

  47. Fat Janet says:

    Bogus,

    Do you beat your spouse at home? May be you like to beat up on women by bringing Van Tran’s wife, who is not a public figure, for fun. Do you live in the gutter and eat s**t for breakfast?

  48. Mai Thu says:

    I don’t care about Janet Nguyen. We are talking about Van Tran. Why do we have to talk about Janet Nguyen when we talk about Van Tran? Can’t we talk about them separately?

  49. Jung Kim says:

    No, because we are talking about all our viet office holders. They are all possible people gearing up for other offices in the future.

  50. No Bogus says:

    According to the LA Times article:

    Even three years after her arrest and conviction, Cyndi Nguyen’s services “at the paralegal office were advertised in the Chinese Consumer Yellow Pages website. She was listed as “Xinh Cyndi Nguyen, Attorney at Law,” although she is not a lawyer.”

    Van Tran said he did not know how she came to be listed as an attorney. “They can put anything on the Internet,” he said.

    “The operators of the online directory, however, said that the person listed would have provided the title. It is a misdemeanor to purposely misrepresent oneself as an attorney.”

    When a criminal, always a criminal. Van Tran pals…sleeps around with criminals.
