Bernie Ebbers is going to jail....

[catnhatnh]

...and one of the cable 24/7s mentioned that this was "a death sentence"....because of his age and health,I guess...anyone here remember a few months back when 3 Katrina survivors were sentenced to 15 years EACH for looting about 4-500 dollars worth of booze post-Katrina??? Will the media gnash it's teeth and wail if any of them dies in prison??? This was under "enhanced" penalties passed less than a week before Katrina hit....SO, for poor people the theft penalty is a year in jail for each $10 stolen??? OK, fine by me, but by that standard, old Bernie's rotting corpse will need to be held in a cell for 1.1 BILLION years and we should demand this-remember "equal justice under the law"....However as a "bleeding heart liberal" and "weak on law enforcement" type, I am ready to have his corpse released after a mere 366 million years...
