I suspect that he will still be a flaming moonbat when he comes out!
One of my favorite stories of 2009.
What an uplifting story. So American in every debased way. Merry Christmas.
As I’ve dug a little deeper, the story has grown a little more scary. He was charged with, wait for it:
Attempting to influence a public servant.
Horror of horrors! Shock of shocks! Whatever you do, don’t attempt to influence a public servant. Turns out its a felony crime. 90 days in jail for that? What do people get for DUI? It reminds me of the way Timothy McVeigh was treated. He committed a crime directly aimed at the government and so won himself the fast-track to the death chamber.
Those twits ought to both get 4 YEARS in prison, hefty fines, and have their children taken away. Unfit parents if there ever were a pair.
Good. I was in Montenegro when this happened, so I sort of missed it. Shortly after, I ran into an American...
Him: “So, what do you think of the balloon boy?”
Me: “What?”
Him: “The balloon boy - in Colorado...”
Me: “What?”
Him: “You know, they guy with the flying saucer balloon who wanted to be on TV...”
Me: “What the fu*k are you talking about?”
Him: “Just because you’re not in the US doesn’t mean you don’t need to pay attention to the news.”
Oh yeah, over six years on death row even after waiving all appeals for mass murder is real super speedy.
