Kennedy 0 #4 June 2, 2010 Not getting caught isn't the same thing as being innocent. However, I'd agree that some politicians do try to represent their electorate. It's just too bad ninety-some percent of politicians give the other ones a bad name.witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

History recalls that when the feds finally nailed the brutal, homicidal Al Capone, it was for income tax evasion. I don't think it recalls anyone being shocked, shocked at the scurrilous abuse of revenue regulations. So using banking laws to nail a justice-escaped statutory rapist doesn't exactly rent the fabric of the republic, either. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boomerdog 0 #19 June 1, 2015 Careful now lest someone deals the race card from the bottom of the deck and declares you a racist. I won't mention any names but I understand he's a lawyer masquerading as a shark or is it a shark masquerading as a lawyer? Hard to tell the difference between the two isn't it?!?!?!?
