Siegelman Convicted for Corruption

MONTGOMERY, Alabama (AP) — Former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman and former Health South CEO Richard Scrushy were convicted Thursday in a bribery scheme that derailed Siegelman’s campaign to retake his former office.

Siegelman, 60, was accused of trading government favors for campaign donations when he was governor from 1999 to 2003 and lieutenant governor from 1995 to 1999.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!

Enjoy jail, asshole.

[Please note: I rarely, if ever, use epithets such as "asshole" for public officials, because I rarely, if ever, have personal experience with them. But I've had more than my fair share of experience with Siegelman, so I feel like I'm qualified to label him an asshole.]

    He will probably get a fine and a suspended sentence which may be overturned.

    Remember, Democrats are innocent until proven guilty, and then there are mitigating circumstances that show they were really trying to do good.

    Of course, Republicans are guilty until proven innocent, and then there are suspicions that one should not trust them.
