Oh, Way Down Here in the Land a' Cotton
They've figured out the Gov'ner's rotten...
Former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman was convicted Thursday on federal charges of bribery, conspiracy, mail fraud and obstruction of justice in a case that derailed his campaign for governor amid wide-ranging claims of corruption in office.Former HealthSouth CEO Richard Scrushy also was convicted of bribery, conspiracy and mail fraud on charges accusing him of buying a seat on a state board with $500,000 in campaign contributions.
Look away! Fade away!
Time to pay, grafter man.

You would have been astonished at the smarmy campaign ads he ran during the primaries ~ yes, he was on the tee vee, promising to make all Alabammy better when he got re-elected. I looked at major dad with a "idn't he a crook?!" and major dad said "yes, yes he is". What a colorful few weeks, as Roy Moore was also running for gubner.

After watching Scrushy's cynical antics with forming a "ministry" as if such an act would allow him to acquire a choir boy appeal in the face of impending corruption trials it proves satisfying to see this respiratory therapist turned cheating scumbag advance closer to his God of vengeance in federal prison. Enjoy your earned time behind bars with the photo of your yacht constructed from money squandered from Medicare and the life work of elderly and sick people whom you parasitised, Scrushy, you callous sociopath bastard.
