Culture of Corruption

Don Siegelman was convicted of single counts of bribery, conspiracy and obstruction of justice, plus three counts of mail fraud. The Associated Press headline? "Former Alabama governor, ex-CEO convicted"

I guarantee you that if Siegelman had been a Republican, the headline would have screamed "Former Repbulican Governor Convicted on Six Counts"

Alexander, you're so right.... (Below threshold)
Pam:

Alexander, you're so right. I live in Alabama and frankly, I didn't think Siegelman or Scrushy would be convicted. Scrushy got off last for bilking Health South in Birmingham last year.
So, one of the reasons the Feds went after Scrushy and Siegelman down in Montgomery was to get get a conviction. I'm glad it worked.

megan:

Exactly. The story about the "pumping" judge never showed the party. The left were assuming it was a republican, which is why the papers do that. Get it out, leave the impression...

Kimyl Oh!:

I always feel so much pity for the GOP when the press doesn't play fair. Why, with their tiny windbag talk radio industry, and their limited pundit pool, none of their ideas get a fair shake, they just got knocked down by the godless liberal press. if only they could have some voices on the air to support their policies....
