Good. I don't care how good a Republican he might have been. He consistently thought that traffic laws didn't apply to him, and he killed a man

That's what separates us from the folks at DU, and libs in general. We have consciences, and will critisize our own when warranted!

No special treatment for politicians of any stripe.

Amen Brother. Amen

Pardon my ignorance, but is he holding a can of Coke or is this a doctored photo of him holding a can of beer?

Janklow is entitled to the ordinary course of appeals before the sentence is final. What will be interesting to see is whether he'll take the high road and resign, or fight to the bitter end.

My guess is that he'll fight, because he could have taken the high road before the trial, which was a slam dunk against him, anyway. His political career was already toast. The Republicans need to jettison him, and if he had an ounce of class, he'd make it easy. If he fights to keep his job, any Democrat opponent of his would win his seat, something we don't need in a state where we're trying to unseat Daschle.

Doggy, that's the part I don't get. I would give anything to have 15 miles of open back roads. A stop sign every now and then certainly isn't a big price to pay for the lack of traffic.

I strongly agree. His mentality is much more akin to Shrillery's than Reagan's or Bush's.

From Article:"Janklow's lawyers said during trial that his reflexes were dulled by low blood sugar as a result of diabetes,..."

I guess low blood sugar causes him to have a heavy foot on the gas peddle also?

I saw a clip of him on the news where at some conference he was laughing about speeding all the time and he said he just pays the fines.

She's kinda cute. Notice no mention of her party affiliation until you get to her links page where Puff's office shows up.

Sorry to say it but this isn't news. No matter what your politics, if you drive like Ted Kennedy you deserve what you get. Again, like I said, I'm sorry

The definition of manslaughter is doing something wrong without regard as to whether it could kill someone, in basic layman terms. Did he do something wrong? Did it kill someone?

My only question is why the jury took five hours to decide.

Honest Midwestern Jury BUMP

could have used an honest jury like that in Massachusetts 34 years ago .. or did Teddy avoid a jury and trial altogether, just a nice lil quiet deal with a friendly judge?

Because his negligence caused the death of another person.

Looks like a can of coke to me. I have diabetes and it's common for folks like me to carry some type of sugar on us at all times in case of low blood sugar, although it's popular to just carry a pack of lifesavers or some other type of hard candy. I suspect Janklow is trying to illustrate that he's learned his lesson and is carrying sugar with him at all times...if you can believe that.

Yup. He should have pled guilty, resigned his House seat, and pled for mercy from the court. He probably would have gotten probation. Bet he goes to jail now...
