The first of many Dems to spend time in the “Hoosegow”, hopefully.

He'll be pardoned by Holder before they leave in 2012.

Holder pardoned FALN terrorists and Mark Rich, this should be a piece of cake.

Jefferson is the reason why we should have term limits. This dufus served 9 terms in Congress.

About time.

Amazing how quickly they get put in jail when you finally get them into the courtroom.

He’ll be out in 3 years and be back in Congress in 5... Think Marion Berry.

Every last one of the democrats in congress is the reason we need term limits. And the RINO's too.

So will Nidal Hasan and likely 911 terrorists too.... This administration has a history of pardoning the worst of the worst.
