1. I wish I really believed the dickwad was actually going to serve time....
Somehow I'm sure the Texas "justice system" will find some way to let his corrupt ass off the hook.

And if not, hell our president will probably pardon him in the name of "bipartisanship". God how I've come to despise that word....

3. I've seen some speculate that the judge might let him off with probation and a fine.
And then there's the probability IMO that his appeals will drag on forever while he remains out on bail. There is a good chance he'll never spend a single day in jail. There's lots of times when I wish I'm wrong and this is one of them.

4. It just seems that assholes like Delay never actually serve time while liberals like
Martha Stewart actually go to jail when they're convicted.

God forbid one of us commoners should be found guilty of anything....

8. A supernova of "Dancing With the Stars" would usually get a whole lot more press, ...
... but that might tarnish the GOP brand.

The "liberal" MSM is already done with this story.

Jail time for Republicans is the medicine this country needs.
