Spitzer should be rattling the bars with his cup right next to him.
What’s to celebrate when you have felons, corrupt ex-judges serving in US Congress, and an Usurper at 1600 Penn Ave. This fellow should have run for office. This is a little more serious than ticketing one of a ten thousand (if that) drivers for speeding. Death penalty for nothing.
“Cowards die many times before their deaths; The valiant never taste of death but once.” — William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar
Given the wretched state of New York State’s finances and the likely effect it is likely to have on the morale of state employees (prison guards for example), I can imagine prisoner Hevesi (Dem, NY) may well wish daily he had been given a death sentence and not the term of imprisonment he has just begun.
Perhaps there should be a “scared straight” program whereby Albany legislators and other state functionaries take required tours of the prisons to get a taste of what their greed and graft could result in.
