The sad thing is that he was re-elected and the people knew that this was all coming. This country is destroying itself from within.

Do you think they will do a much time in the joint as an inner city kid who knocks off a liquor store for $750, let alone $750,000?

If Jr. is sent to jail, Sr. will show up with the usual bus loads of protesters from the projects. Or maybe Jr. will just play the race card.

Seeing as how a lot of the second Congressional District resides in jail, they should be well represented. They will even share the same color jump suit.
