Both Dinesh D'Souza and General Petraeus I think are felons.

So are (were) Mike Tyson, Tom Sizemore, Christian Slater, Nick Nolte, Mick Jagger, Randy Quaid, Pete Rose, Rip Torn, Robert Mitchum, Chuck Berry, Darryl Strawberry, David Carradine, Merle Haggard, Vanilla Ice, Courtney Love, Snoop Dogg and a whole lot of others.

Many of these people went on to live "normal" lives, pay/paid a boatload of taxes and so on.

I see no reason to cripple someone for life for mistakes... especially ones done early in life.

Small point of information: Ronald Reagan gave Merle Haggard a FULL GOVERNOR'S PARDON, so from that day forward Merle is not a felon. That's just how that pardon works.

PS---Merle always said, Reagan should be on Mt. Rushmore, and it wasn't just because he received a pardon from him.
