He’ll be back, just like Marion Barry.

And Alcee Hastings (D-FL) - impeached as a federal judge and removed from office for corruption and perjury.
Now a member of the House of Representatives representing Florida's 23rd congressional district.

Alcee is dumb as a sack of stolen hammers, but not anywhere near as dumb as the people that elected him.

He’ll be back, just like Marion Barry.

From CNN.com, 2005...

In 1990, the FBI busted Washington, D.C., Mayor Marion Barry for crack cocaine. Today, the 68-year-old self-proclaimed "mayor for life" is back in politics, serving on the D.C. City Council. ...

In January 1990 Barry's political reign came to an abrupt halt when he was caught on video in an FBI sting operation smoking crack cocaine with a woman at the Vista Hotel. The incident -- played over and over on cable television -- produced what is perhaps the most memorable quote of Barry's long career: "The bitch set me up."

Should Marion Barry go to jail for failing -- yet again -- to file his tax returns?

His last stint in the clink didn't seem to have much of an impact on the former mayor. As recently as 2005, he tested positive for marijuana and cocaine use. And in 2002, U.S. Park Police said they found crack cocaine and pot in Barry's Jaguar.

I’m wondering, like Always Independent, If Obama will pardon him at the first opportunity. Maybe some excuse like ill health.

“After touring the flood-damaged city from the air and visiting evacuees at the Louisiana Superdome and the city’s Convention Center, Jefferson said he asked his National Guard escorts to drive him to his Uptown neighborhood, several miles from the Superdome. “I was intending to go to my neighborhood for sure if I could get there. I didn’t know what the condition was,” Jefferson said Wednesday. “I was curious to know and everybody in my family was curious to know: What was the condition of our house? Was it underwater? Was it looted?”

While Jefferson was checking out his house, the military truck that brought him there got stuck in the mud and a second truck had to be sent to rescue the congressman and his National Guard escort, said Maj. Ed Bush, a spokesman for the Louisiana National Guard.

A Coast Guard helicopter rescuing people stranded on rooftops also spotted the group at the congressman’s house and sent a rescue swimmer down to investigate. Jefferson said he and the guardsmen tried to wave the helicopter off, but the pilot apparently didn’t see him and the swimmer ended up kicking in a door and entering his house through a balcony.”

Guilty on 11 of 16 counts ..... I wonder what the federal guidle lines are for sentencing on those 11 counts? He could be looking at a long stay in the pen.
