Photo: US District Court, Eastern District of Virginia Former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell has been sentenced to two years in the Crossbar Hotel on multiple corruption charges. Federal Judge James Spencer said that the case "breaks his heart" but added that a "price must be paid" for doing corruption -- awfully good of the judge to choke back his tears like that and do his job.
I neglected to ask earlier: Is it reasonable to consider a tautology a form of analogy? (Not an English major, here). I mean, in math, &quot;A is similar to A&quot; <i>would</i> be considered a correct subcase of &quot;A is similar to B&quot;.
Operation Blessing, Pat Robertson&#039;s &quot;charity&quot;, is more into digging up things of great value. You know, like blood diamonds.
&ldquo;If he was buried in a jail&hellip; it would be like burying something of enormous value. Or putting away a crook. One of those two things.&quot;
&quot;Sorry, I get things confused sometimes. I&#039;m off to pick up lunch! Or pick up after my dog. One of those two things. &quot;
And he stated his profound faith in his Lord Jesus Christ. He should have jumped on the Jeebus Train sooner, they might have cut his sentence.
When ABC ran the story yesterday about the brave 7-year-old girl who walked through the woods for help after the airplane crash that killed the rest of her family the network added a story about a young man who survived TWO plane crashes. The first killed his mother and two siblings and the second killed his father and stepmother. He said God always had his hand on him. Maybe so but he sure has hell had it in for the rest of his family.
If he&#039;d been rich, he&#039;d have gotten off with time served. The rich guy here was Jonnie Williams, who was sentenced to . . . I mean, charged with . . . oh, right, he&#039;s rich. Never mind.
That story never passed the stink test, in my nose anyway. They were in it together the whole way. If Jonnie Wms had wanted Mo McDonnell to blow him, Bob would&#039;ve held her hair back.
Engngnh, in this instance the prosecutors did the right thing. Better to let the snake-oil salesman off easy to get the elected official to do some time. Jonnie&#039;d be happy man in the pen: a huge captive audience to fleece! Whereas all McDonnel&#039;s got to sell them is his hypocritical cynical Catholicism, or his ass.

More like professional courtesy.
&ldquo;If he was buried in a jail&hellip; it would be like burying something of enormous value.&rdquo;
...and if he is made to be someone&#039;s prison bitch it would be like making a bitch of a really, really totally nice person.

Two years for all that loot? Sounds a lot better-paying than most jobs.
Bye bye, Bob. Don&#039;t forget to book the squash courts early in the morning. They fill up fast in Corrupt Asshole Acres. Ugh.
AOT,K because the cops would have just shot him or choked him out and saved taxpayers the cost of a trial
Huzzah!
Yes, not to be confused with his sister Maureen McDonnell, the blonde-haired, blue-eyed former cheerleader.

blago weeps.
First offense. Next time he takes bribes while governor, the judge won&#039;t be nearly as lenient.
