Don Siegelman
Don Siegelman’s being taken away in shackles? Give me a break. Murderers, rapists, pedophiles, hardened criminals and repeat offenders waltz through the doors of prisons everyday with a Carte Blanche card and more often than not aren't in shackles.
I think the sentencing was fair for him. As for Scrushy, any man who would become a "bible-thumping preacher" between the day of conviction and the day of sentencing doesn't show me anything!
But I really wonder what all this cost the taxpayer? Far more than any $200,000 or whatever, I assure you. I would much rather the Government have spent the money funding the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act, securing our borders, cleaning up the devastation left behind by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, and funding more law enforcement and paying them more, and seeing that our injured troops are given the physical and mental care they so deserve when they return from war-torn Iraq and Afghanistan.
Our public officials should be held accountable and if anyone believes that Don Siegelman is the only politician on Montgomery's Goat Hill or in Washington who has broken the law and tromped on the public trust, they really have on blinders. Greed and power run rampant in Government on all levels and little is ever done about it, which is why from Day One, I have always been bothered by the fact that this matter was not pursued until the day after Siegelman announced his candidacy for governor. I just hope that all the others out there who are "on the take" are being carefully watched and brought to justice, too.
