Excerpt:

Monica Conyers has just been sentenced to 37 months in prison. She also received 2 years of supervised probation. Just before sentencing, Conyers screamed "If they have their tapes, I have my tapes too. I taped Rayford, I taped Riddle. You'll be fair to me or I want to withdraw my plea."

She also yelled, "What about my children? They did nothing to cause this. All I did was try to help someone I fired."

Gray skies are gonna clear up,
Put on a happy face;
Brush off the clouds and cheer up,
Put on a happy face.
Take off the gloomy mask of tragedy,
It's not your style;
You'll look so good that you'll be glad
Ya' decide to smile!
Pick out a pleasant outlook,
Stick out that noble chin;
Wipe off that "full of doubt" look,
Slap on a happy grin!
And spread sunshine all over the place,
Just put on a happy face!
Put on a happy face
Put on a happy face
And if you're feeling cross and bitterish
Don't sit and whine
Think of banana split and licorice
And you'll feel fine
I knew a girl so glooming
She'd never laugh or sing
She wouldn't listen to me
Now she's a mean old thing
So spread sunshine all over the place
Just put on a happy face
So, put on a happy face

I like the one where she told another councilman he needs to learn to talk to a woman. He said he’ll do that — when he’s with a woman. She actually tried to attack him!

She reminds me of Cynthia McKinney. Yet another person with the temperament and composure of a crack ho getting into office.

The Detroit Free Press has a hysterical report on her courtroom meltdown; well worth reading.

I don't think we can even exerpt from them, which is why I didn't post it here.

Unfortunately she’ll probably only do a couple of months.

Yeah, but maybe her cellmate will be William Jefferson (D.LA)

Good Riddance!! Don’t let the door hit you in the be-hind on the way to jail!

[lexington minuteman 1775]

She was born a year after he assumed office...gosh a bit of an age diff here...SURPRISE!!!

[Kieri]

The media was in the courtroom. There *has* to be a video of her meltdown! I can’t wait to see it, I need a good laugh!

BWHAHAHAHA!!!

I thought they were pushing for 57 months or something. I guess they wouldn’t let cameras in the court room. Pity. She puts on quite a show.

[GalaxieFiveHundred]

Not just an eloquent speaker, but photogenic, too!

[FrdmLvr]

Her kids are probably going “YESSS!”

That’s odd. There’s no indication of her political party in the article. I wonder why.

And be reelected to the City Council after her release.

People have gone to prison for longer after doing less.

[unkus]

Don't feel bad, I did too. Then I put on my "cheaters" amd saw it was months.
