The United States Attorney for Kansas unsealed federal charges against Sedgwick County, Kansas Commissioner Michael O’Donnell on Friday.

Stupid, slimy, cheating GOPeers.

7. 3 days in jail and 10 hrs of community service

Come on, he’s a rich white republican, they don’t got jail...jail is for poor people.

9. I was thinking they could just halve that number

"Don't worry, you'll only be 178 when you get out."

Stupid rich, white repuklicans.

2. My, a rising star!

When I saw your subject line, I thought 'shooting star' instead.

Remember the old group Bad Company?

Johnny was a schoolboy
When he heard his first Beatles song
'Love Me Do' I think it was
And from there it didn't take him long
Got himself a guitar
Used to play every night
Now he's in a rock and roll outfit
And everything's all right
Don't ya know

Johnny told his mama
Hey, Mama, I'm going away
I'm gonna hit the big time
Gonna be a big star someday
Momma came to the door
With a teardrop in her eye
Johnny said "Don't cry Momma,
Smile and wave goodbye."
Don't you know

Don't you know
That you are a shooting star, (don't you know, don't you know)
Don't you know that you are
A shooting star
And all the world will love you
Just as long, as long as you are?

Johnny made a record
Went straight up to number one
Suddenly everyone loved to hear him sing his song
Watching the world go by
Surprising it goes so fast
Johnny looked around him
And said "Well I made the big time at last."

Don't you know
That you are a shooting star, (don't you know, don't you know)
Don't you know that you are
A shooting star
And all the world will love you
Just as long, as long as you are?
A shooting star

Don't you know
That you are a shooting star, (don't you know, don't you know)
Don't you know that you are
A shooting star
And all the world will love you
Just as long, as long as you are?

Johnny died one night
Died in his bed
Bottle of whiskey, sleeping tablets
By his head
Johnny's life passed him
By like a warm summer day
If you listen to the wind
You can still hear him play
Don't you know

Don't you know
That you are a shooting star, (don't you know, don't you know)
Don't you know that you are
A shooting star
And all the world will love you
Just as long, as long as you are?

5. They are all a bunch of crooks.

Look at the Missouri governor. He will be impeached, hopefully.

He is just as crooked as the rest if them. Lie, steal, you name it.

6. Wow. Republicans know no shame....

With Republicans like this, who needs ethics?

[TomSlick]

11. Thus endeth another brilliant political career.

No wait, IOKIYAR. He can probably run for Governor now - from prison.

[Bengus81]

12. Hell,he's done a shit load of stuff along with this......

Wasn't even living in the district for that Commish seat so he uses some old ass church his father owns and CLAIMED he lived there. Possibly providing alcohol for under age college students--that's why his nickname is Kegger O'Donnell.

In the last election this asshats in Kansas pulled a lever for ANYTHING that called themselves a Republican--this guy was dirty back then but ousted Dem Tim Norton who had been on the Sedgwick Co commission for years and worked hard for people.
