(135,425 posts)You can get mad at me all you want, you can flip the script and try to shoot the messenger for telling a simple truth here, but let's cut to the chase:
Obama ain't gonna pardon this guy. It's not cowardly, it's politics. The guy was convicted of trading a job for a half million bucks. That's what middle America sees. All the other stuff doesn't matter.
You can believe what you'd like, it really isn't going to change the outcome--and it's not my fault that this is the case either. I am simply reading the handwriting on the wall. Like I said, the guy's lawyer did him a real disservice by not putting him in an ankle bracelet during all that "out" time while he was appealing--this could be wrapped up, done, and Siegelman could be getting ready for a book tour.
And speaking of lawyers? Ted Stevens, quite obviously, had better ones.
