I forgot to mention that moments after the Blackberry "verdict in" notification, the device alerted the attorney that "friends" were invited to Seigleman's campaign headquarters for a meet and greet. Go figure.

Correction to original post -- Siegelman was guilty on 7 counts, Scrushy on all 6 of his.

We were talking about this last night after the local news. Figured there is no way Scrushy will ever be convicted of anything. He could be caught on tape doing something criminal, and still would go free. I guess not this time!

Thomas Jefferson, Democrat Louisiana, was temporarily identified as a Republican in a CBS online news article until freepers raised hell and had them change it.

"Good to see Scrushy finally find one he couldn't wiggle out of"

Doesn't Scrushy still face civil suits re HealthSouth?

Boy, you are right...this GOP culture of corruption is going to hurt...first there was Jim Guy Tucker, governor of Arkansas.....oh, sorry...he is a democrat.

Then there was Dan Rostenkowski stealing all that government furniture and taking bribes....wait...no, he was a democrat too.

Then there was the Clinton Labor Secretary guilty of bribes,...oh yeah, he was a democrat wasn't he.

Then there was Sandy Berger stealing secret documents to protect Clinton...wait a minute, wasn't he a democrat?

Doesn't surprise me. Finding a RAT down here who isn't up to his/her eyeballs in corruption is not the easiest job.

PS: It's actually William Jefferson, but I get your point... ;^)

Ya-hoo!!!!!!!!!!!! I met Siegelman years ago in DC at an Alabama St. Society function....he was a jerk then, he's a jerk now! I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that the sentence is not probation or home restriction....

I'll admit I'm in somewhat of shock, seeing as we knew one of the families. The shock of course is that Siegelman was convicted, it was not the strongest of cases, and it's strongest evidence relied on people who were, well, less than honorable.

Since 1990, we have had 4 governors. Now, we can say that 2 of them have been convicted of felonies.
