Don't be fooled by the second amendment stuff.
Couldn't vote for him if I wanted to. I just couldn't make my hand do it.

Thanks for the info.

Cordially,
GE

From A Biographical Sketch: Richard Scrushy and HealthSouth

Currently, Richard is working diligently to clear his good name of the false accusations being made against him in connection with the alleged fraudulent activities of HealthSouth. He also focuses on the real-estate development business, Marin, Inc., and assists his wife Leslie with her company, uppseedaisees.

From acj.com:

These days, Scrushy's rags-to-riches acumen is used helping his wife run her pajama company, Uppseedaisies. He also runs Marin Inc., his real estate development company. .....and lots more dish!

Looks like Scrushy's going to jail this time. This article says he faces up to 30 years.

The convictions are punishable by as much as 30 years, according to U.S. prosecutors.

Even after I was supporting primarily Republican candidates, which wasn't possible before the 1990's, I continued to support Siegelman. My personal opinion is that the two people who were let off were the people who the book should have been thrown hardest at. It was complete nonsense to let Hamrick and the other guy off. Then again, my family has known the Siegelmans for a long time, so I have a bit of a prejudice here. Siegelman should have gotten something, but I just didn't think he was the main player here, I think he was being led along by someone and I think Hamrick was doing the leading.

But you're right, after the lottery failed, he was basically dead in the water, he assumed for whatever reason that the lottery would pass with the same margin he won by, not realizing that alot of those people in N. Alabama voted against Fob because Fob really did do that bad a job as governor, both times. The only thing he gets credit for in my book is the conceal carry permit law, otherwise, he was pretty useless as a governor.

I don't know Siegleman, but the impression I had of the whole thing was pretty much what you stated.

Thanks for the reply,
GE

Two of the most slimiest crooks ever in Alabama. They have out crooked George Wallace, and that is some what like the Russian Mafia.

Yep. If it's not in the first paragraph in these political corruption stories then the perp is a Dem.
