It is about time these crooks are sent to prison instead of Governor's mansions.    Whoever has the evidence, letters and anything in writing that can be used to send Florida Governor Rick Scott to prison for defrauding Medicare to its biggest ever $1+ billion will be a true patriot and national hero.

Because that was straight shooting there!

They insulted the jury and they didn't buy it. This crazy wife defense didn't fly and it backfired on them. 20 Year sentence for $165,000 of gifts, was it worth it? Those greedy bastard.

You just ran out of time on your way out to the raise the min wage to $15 rally right

...their corrupt activities?

These idiots want to throw shit against the wall to see what sticks. If they hear enought of it, they'll believe it.

May be his prison bound wife should be given a trans vaginal ultrasound every day while she spends the next 35 years in prison

Yeah right!   It is the GOP Governors who are prison bound and not the two people you are naming.     See, you have to come up with something more believable.

Re: You are delusional if you think Perry will go to prison. EOM

The cowboy is prison bound instead of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave for which he had a big 0% chance.

... and don't tell me you don't know about those high caliber country club prisons.

... and Fox News, or as Shakespeare described Limbaugh in Macbeth: "...it is a tale. Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing."

Rick Perry?

How come your star Republican Darrel the car thief has not found this out yet and held an inquiry?    You cannot prosecute people based on what you see and hear on FOX News Channel.   LMAO.

I could see if you didn't want your tax dollars being spent to fund club fed. Now if that were true you wouldn't want your tax dollars being spent on prosecuting the case to begin with.

He rejected a plea offer from the prosecutors where his wife wouldn't do time, and he probably would have got the 10 years but would have actually done 5. Either he's a vindictive fuck or he thought his shit don't stink. Oh well, just as well for his sorry ass

that if it were to go to far  ,the Generals , under the Constitution , have the authority to remove him from office .

Let's over throw this piece of shit.....Dude, chill....you only got two more years. Take a trip to the Ukraine,smoke a joint and enjoy the scenery...you're too tightly wound.

It doesn't upset me nearly as much as your ignorance.

in the illini block , renamed for all the Illinois Dems who reside there.

They are both being charged for accepting gifts perfectly legal under Virginia State Laws. Not only will they probably spend the next decade in prison but will be completely bankrupt by the end of this trial. Hurrah to the asshole prosecutors who have not seen fit to prosecute a single banker or credit rating agency, the same turds responsible for the worst financial disaster in history.

The penalty just doesn't seem to fit the crime, if we are to believe they could get 20 some years. Is that accurate?

His wife could have been spared time.But he didn't so fuck his ass.They flaunted all the "gifts" and treated this like their own personal ATM. As a politician you got to keep this shit on the down low if you're going to play this game. Oh and a 6k Rolex?? What a cheap fuck, that watch is 6K, USED!

The linked article even says that a year for him, and probation for her were the likely sentences.

what political favors got granted in exchange for the gifts

...when the verdicts were being read.  They weren't tears of remorse since he didn't apologize.  All he said to reporters after the verdict was: "All I can say is my trust remains in the Lord."  A lot of good that did for Gov. Vaginal Ultrasound.  He should have put his trust in Horus instead of that bowdlerized version plagiarized by Christians.  (Hey DA, you've got a convert!)

McDonnell is a hypocritical thumper who got what he deserved.  And his children weren't innocent either.  They raided the kitchen of the governor's mansion, taking food and liquor.  McDonnell was forced to reimburse the state for his children's thefts.

Screw all of them but the thumper gov won't get more than a year or two and his wife will probably just get home confinement.

He was elected by the people and held a public office.   He should get the maximum sentence which is as I read 35 years in prison.    There he will definitely meet a guy named Jesus who will grab his fu*ing ass for what it is worth.

"Worst financial disaster in history" under Dubiya's watch!   LOL.   Dubiya did not send them to prison but gave them $900 million and bailed them out.     Thank heaven and bless you all seniors, Dubiya did not succeed putting social security funds in stock market as he wanted.    Sane people put brakes on him.     Otherwise all of that would have been wiped out like all those people who saw their 401(k) and retirement money disappear.

"All I can say is my trust remains in the Lord.".

and I'm sure those that are retired can rest alittle bit better now. Printed or not.

No. Additional money has been "created".

and QE has not caused a single dollar to be added to the currency in circulation. In fact, the Fed does not even have currency printing presses; they are all at the Treasury. Nor is the fed giving money to the banks; at best it is paying a higher interest rate for loans than the daily rate.

Because you don't know shit! So let's wait and see...but so far, so good.

They HAD it printed. Of course they do not do it themselves but it was THEIR actions that resulted in it happening. Also PRINTED is a simplistic euphemism for the creation of electronic funds that I thought 73 could understand. Of course the paper was not actually printed.
