What? You can't treat a charity as your own personal slush-fund?

Things have come to a pretty pass when the law is actually allowed to interfere with your lifestyle.

Why?! They keep electing these people. They deserve whatever hardship comes from doing so.

Resign? Those crimes are resume-enhancers for the Rats. A true Rat never resigns. They can only be voted out, even if they are legislating from the Big House.

Unintentionally funny line in that article:

When WHYY went to talk to voters in her district about the indictment, most did not know who Johnson-Harrell was.
