He was given significantly less prison time than federal guidelines recommend, what a cop-out!  I see his wife got nailed also.  :thumbsup:



WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. was sentenced to 2 ½ years in prison Wednesday for illegally spending $750,000 in campaign funds on personal items, the judge scolding the son of the famed civil rights leader for using the money as a "piggy bank" and sentencing his wife to a year as well.

However, Jackson, who emotionally apologized to his father, mother, congressional colleagues and others, was given significantly less prison time than federal guidelines recommend, recognized by the judge as a "complex person" who has done both good and bad.

I hope both pipsqueaks serve actual prison-time.  What an embarrassment.

Delay was exonerated.
I love how you libs have a knee jerk response to always deflect from the real issue.

I should think that the most likely reason John Ensign has not been sentenced to jail time is the fact that John Ensign has never been charged with a crime.

He had no problem with Clinton getting BJ's in the Oval Office, but how dare a Pub have an affair.
These idiots no absolutely nothing about anything, all they know is what they read on Dim sponsored blogs.

But notice how quickly he attempted to derail the thread?

He'd get crushed under the empty pizza boxes.

Didja see that item about Bubba learning how to forgive people for impeaching him? Not one syllable of apology for lying to Congress, just the implication that "Although I am totally innocent, mind you, I'll condescend to forgive you for sinning against me."

Now, if Bright Eyes here wants to fire up the Synthetic Outrage Generator for a quick spin Tired Meme Lane, if he wants to talk about un-indicted criminals, where's his howls over the deaths Al "Grea$ebag" $harpton caused at Crown Heights? Where's his outrage that Je$$e Jack$on made off with all that RAINBOW/PUSH money that went missing? Howzabout "Cabana Boy" Barney FWANK and the queer whorehouse run out of his apartment?

Nah. Let's just stick to a third-rater who DID get caught and DID get successfully prosecuted despite Daddy's alleged influence.

Sounds a whole hell of a lot like Bernard and Kwame Kilpatrick. Stout Republicans, you betcha.
