Re: Another Rotten Scumbag Democrat arrested for Corruption Charges..
Yep, them corrupt Democrats. You betcha. Never see a Republican state senator make the news that way, nope, never happen. Now a Republican governor or US senator, that's another story... because it's actual national news.
God only knows the roll call of Republican STATE senators who've been in hot water. Wildo, I'm old and I tire easily. You do it.
Re: Another Rotten Scumbag Democrat arrested for Corruption Charges..
desperate to play tit for tat, Mike the Mod punts to a STATE senator's arrest in comparison to a U.S. Senator's conviction... is that the best you have, Mickey?
want to compare overall Con man convictions to Dems'? it won't be pretty for you...
oh wait, you have your ears covered... nevermind...

Poor guy. Michael just brought a slingshot to a gunfight!
That being said, I hope she gets a good long term in Walpole (err, Cedar Juction). Corruption anywhere by anyone should be punished.

Eh, from Ted Kennedy to Barney Frank we've seen Democrats don't get convicted easily. It will be interesting to see if she does since this is not her first brush with the law.

Don't worry Ice. She kicked a white Herald reporter out of her office calling her a "white *****" and called the Herald and said if they sent a black reporter down she would talk to them.
