Funny how they leave out his party affiliation huh?
I had to check Wiki to confirm my suspicion about the Democrat.
About 40 mins from now. What if he runs...? Gets himself a nice white blazer and hits the highways... that ought to keep us entertained for a little while...
One down, so many to go. Next step, Congress
Maybe he can get Wesley Snipes’ autograph while he’s there.
“Ford was indicted during an FBI undercover operation, “Operation Tennessee Waltz,” which worked to expose public corruption.”
....when it comes to public corruption, the Ford family knows how to do it. Good to see that another one is finally doing some time.
Time update: 23 minutes and counting. Look him up.
Look = lock. Ooops!
Drinks all around, innkeeper!
They will be served up as soon as John hears that unmistakable CLANG of the prison door slamming shut behind him. That is now 13 minutes away.
Is Lita Ford the drunk?
You must mean Ophelia Ford. At any rate, she is.
8 more minutes.
CLANG!!!!!!!!!!
Time’s up, John. Enjoy your new digs.
I was hoping for an interstate car chase...
