Everyone knew he was a slimey crook, full of corruption.

I hope they eject him like a hot potato.

Unfortunately....he will get a slap on the wrist...I say throw him in jail

Guess he must have had an inkling yesterday that it was going to be bad. Wonder how they'll punish him?

I'm sure the punishment will not be enough. Still, I'm glad they found the rat guilty.

Hey, didn't he have inadequate counsel?

[lizjo]

Yes, couldn't afford an attorney and wouldn't defend himself. Oh, well I guess it's true you reap what you sow. Who's next, Waters?

Tar, feathers and a split rail, as they did in colonial times.

He'll see punishment surely, but most likely a salp on the wrist.

[ergohead]

How many charges were raised against him?

[Ynot]

Oh please, even if they actually do more than slap him on the wrist, though doubtful, he'll continue to receive all his congressional benefits forever -- even if his dumb a$$ is sitting in some federal resort prison. The only ones more dumb than him are the ones who voted to keep him in office! Shessh, talk about being really, really stupid....
