There are so many politicians here in Alabama who are currently in prison and they are all Democrats. Siegelman (or his prison name “Snuggleman”) is just one of the slimiest.

Of course he’s a democrat. If he were a republican, it would be in bold print above the fold.

And this is why when someone tries to tell me there isn’t a media bias, I laugh in their face. It’s stupid, really. We figured out how to use the old Google machine and everything ’round these parts.

Ah, another game of Name That Party. What a bunch of fucking assholes. If the Dems go down, the Media goes down. It’s like a given.

What I can’t figure out is why a significantly red/Republican state would elect a Democrat Gov in the first place?

Pelosi aside, it’s also interesting to see how many democrat women are turning up to be completely corrupt.

I hope he dies in prison, shanked by an illegal alien in jail for some horrific crime.
