(CNN) — About 30 people, including some New Jersey mayors and several rabbis, were arrested Thursday in a federal investigation of public corruption, the U.S. attorney’s office in Newark, New Jersey, said.

The probe also involves a “high-volume, international money-laundering conspiracy,” according to a statement from the office.

Among those arrested in the public corruption portion of the investigation are Hoboken Mayor Peter Cammarano III, Secaucus Mayor Dennis Elwell, New Jersey Assemblyman Daniel Van Pelt and Leona Beldini, a Jersey City deputy mayor.

Several rabbis in New York and New Jersey also were arrested in connection with the money-laundering portion of the investigation.

A news conference is planned for around noon ET, with federal court appearances to start about 2 p.m., officials said.

Rabbis?  Oy.

elmergunMore like Douchebag of the Decade:

Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) stands by his comment that health care will be President Obama’s Waterloo, a comment Obama derided in a health care speech yesterday.

“I think he played right into my hands,” DeMint told Neil Cavuto on Fox News this afternoon, adding that Obama’s frequent appearances over the last several days show a level of desperation. “Any time the president of the United States goes after a freshman senator, he’s losing his grip a little bit.”

He insisted his comments weren’t about politics, but renewed his call to block the president’s reform attempts.

“We’ve gotta stop him. We cannot let him roll over us,” DeMint said.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I’m a senator with a very cunning plan!

Feingold or Saunders should put sick South Carolinians in the gallery, point out that they don’t have health insurance, and make the useless little fuck squirm.
