“Question is will Obama give him a fat old pardon?”

I suspect that he will be cooling his heels until (at least) January 20, 2017.

Bush’s fault, like katrina. Heck of a job, Naigy.

Anyone else notice that black Democrat politicians always go down in flames?

[minnesota_bound]

he accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes — money, free vacation trips and truckloads of free granite for his family business....

What is funny is he will now be using a sledgehammer to break the granite into little pieces when he goes to prison.
