Thom Hartmann: Something Stinks - John Edwards & a 30 Year Jail Term?

[marble falls]

8. Name a poitician who's been sentenced to 30 years for any crime short of murder......

first time black crack heads get 30 years, not politicians. You get all the justice you pay for or plead to. Especially when these criminals write the freaking laws. Do I think 30 years is too long? Hell yes. But then he helped write and voted for laws mandating more jailable crimes with longer terms. I don't think for a moment he'll get 30. Not even five with four and a half years suspended in a weekends off halfway house for over $100,000.00 misappropriated after HE made his fidelity to his wife an issue. Crack-heads get 30 years on a first time offense. I'm sorry, he had enough of his own bucks to buy off the mother of his child and there wouldn't have been a thing wrong with that. President? And I preferred the guy over Dole, and I thought he was a good match with Kerry. Presidential? Nope, not even Supreme Court and knowing of Thomas and Scalia and Roberts - that's saying something. I only wish Mitt or Eric Kanter, or Scalia or Thomas would get caught like this. Wouldn't YOU like to know how Justice Thomas might have paid off his child's mother if he were 'caught' in the same situation??
