Hypocrite is thy name. Oh hum, just another scandal. So what? You expect justice from criminals?
Posted by Judith at June 27, 2007 10:07 AMYou ask all of these questios that you already know the answer to. This may be pay back in AL. The Dems nailed poor ole Guy Hunt to the cross for things that every governor does.
Posted by JohnT at June 27, 2007 10:17 AMWhy the confusion?
I(always)OKIYAR! Only Democrats are unserious, corrupt, fanatically determined to get your money through outrageous tax "increases" and pure wusses at the same time.
Republics are only taking care of business. They're serious guys; macho manly men (well, some of them) and gals who can be trusted to protect you from terr'rists under your bed.
Posted by DeminNewJ at June 27, 2007 10:19 AM"Poor old Guy Hunt got nailed to the cross" for taking about $200,000 from the inaugural fund and using it for his personal benefit. Steve Feaga, the same guy who is prosecuting the Siegelman case, prosecuted Hunt and requested a sentence of probation for Hunt. And he requests 30 years for Siegelman?
Now Feaga says the Attorney General (Democrat Jimmy Evans) pushed him to only request probation in the Hunt case, overruling his own judgement.
Little remembered Alabama trivia: Alabama Republicans were so mad at AG Jimmy Evans for the prosecution of Guy Hunt that they recruited a former U.S. Attorney for South Alabama to run against Evans. State Republicans backed him to the hilt and he beat Evans in 1994. Thus, Jeff Sessions won his first statewide election and positioned himself to run for the U.S. Senate vacancy in 1996. And we've been stuck with that rascal ever since.
Posted by mooncat at June 27, 2007 11:12 AMDon't expect any fairly apportioned justice from the now, fully politicized, Justice Department.
Now, remembering a few words in a dusty old document that describe King George:
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and
sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.

Judith, they're just nice confused folks...
