It is a crime for the Mayor of Baltimore to use gift cards given by a constituent. Who knew?

Amazingly though, it is not a crime to buy the vote of a United States Senator by offering to have the rest of the states pay for the health care of his state.

I heard this on an ABC News break while listening to Hannity on the radio, they didn’t mention her party affiliation, so right then I knew she had to be a Democrat, and I was right!

Statement: "Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon, convicted last month on one count of embezzlement, is stepping down. "

Response: She got $450,000,000 in tax free stimulus funds. The money will help her transition into retirement.

She is resigning so she can still collect her 80k per year pension.

Better sit down, here are the shocking details:
Sheila Dixon, convicted last month on one count of embezzlement... a Democrat... her lawyers were set to argue in court that the mayor deserved a new trial because of juror misconduct... with City Council President Stephanie Rawlings-Blake assuming Dixon's mayoral duties... conviction stemmed from her use of gift cards given to the city by developer Patrick Turner. Turner claimed they were intended for the needy.
They didn't actually *reach* the needy, but that's what the intent was. ;')

Today on a separate matter, Dixon also entered an Alford plea to a separate charge of perjury.
