Steal $500 from a liquor store and get 10 years, steal millions from American tax payers and get less than half that.

Total bullshit!

Just doing unto others as they want done to themselves?

When the story is written about Dick Cheney and his boy wonder W, there will be generations asking how and why? How did they get away with it? And why didn't they get sent to jail?

Frankly, I'm surprised he even went to jail. Must have not been too tight with the potus (pardoner of the united states).

Abramoff got outlandish, careless, arrogant, and got caught. He's learnt his lesson.

Lucky that the judge showed leniency.

If he was another illegal immigrant he would have gotten deported.... serving you tacos three months later in PA.

That's why it would be a waste of taxpayer $$$ to ever try to get convictions for Bush Crime Family. The pardons would be flowing under McCain if ever elected.

Well yes, agreed about Abramoff and his vices but you can't say that he''s learned his lesson because he will have a little time to think about his next move and once a crook, always a crook, they say.

As far as the judge, I would venture that Jack slipped him a nice tip for his generosity and the judge is the lucky one. But I could be wrong.....

HAR~! HAR~! HAR~! HAR~!

Vernon- Still trying to figure out what a "tard" is, huh?

Outrageous. I have clients who steal in the hundreds of thousands of dollars through white collar fraud who end up serving more time. What a joke.

Less than 4 years for all the trouble he caused and all the money that just disappeared. I think he should have gotten a minimum of 15, But don't be too hard on the judge. he is just doing what LIBS want. We don't want our jails clogged with "non-violent' criminals. So if you want to release crack dealers back out on to the streets.

Don't whine too loud about Abramoff

It is pretty telling about these right wingers here, happy about Abramoff serving less time????
So partisan that even crooks, if they are right wing crooks, are their friends.
Whenever you read any of their posts it would be good to remember how they felt about Abramoff's sentence being reduced. Hard to imagine that I could actually have less respect for TAKITEZ or Vernon but I now do and surprisingly HILLBILLYJIHAD makes perfect sense.

YEAH!

I concur!

We all owe some simple gratitude towards the man who single handedly ruined the Thousand Year Single Party Rule and provided the Narrative of the Bush Years for all of history!

HAR! HAR! Indeed!

Chin, chin ---- I tip my glass with you vern and celebrate his work in your undoing!

SWEET........ I don't think he deserves even that much time.

Rightys believe laws, like morality are only for somebody else.

Oh No, I feel kinda funny..Danni agreed with me..Did I say something wrong?

She doesn't realize, I want more prisons so they all can be locked up. If someone bilks taxpayers out of millions and gets rich, or sells crack to 12 year olds and get rich of their misery. they are the same in my eyes, punishment swift and severe

But hillbilly. That would mean actions have consequences! The horror!

ABH-the "verminator"-shillbilly-08-all the r'tards seem to agree.

Northguy is right-Laws and morality simply DON'T apply to anyone to the right of flush rimjob.

The rest of us, however-have to pay the heaviest penalties for the tiniest of infractions.

Perfect example.....
Shrubya does cocaine-gets "appointed" potus.

shillbilly-since when are crack dealers "non-violent"?
The most violent neighborhoods in America have the highest concentrations of crack houses.

You really are a willfully ignorant slut.

It's a good thing for him that he's white. Otherwise, he might have gotten the chair. White people can steal millions and say they're "sorry" but a black man driving his own car is a crime in America.

That's hilarious. Tell another one.

I'll try to talk White for a while...

"I went to the Home Depot and paid with my credit card."

"While driving to my job, I saw a police officer and waved hello."

"Soccer practice was intense today so I took my son to get Italian Ice."

"While in Best Buy, I found the sales associate was helpful and friendly."

"My wife and I have been married for almost 10 years and have a 5-year-old son."

"The Republican Party has done an outstanding job running the country.... Golly, I can't wait to vote for John McCain."

"My pants fit perfectly around my waist so it's perfect to attach my Blackberry to my belt."

"These vegetables are perfectly steamed and the tofu is just great."

I'm exhausted.

Did he bribe the judge to let him off?

I want more prisons so they all can be locked up.

Too bad a republican doesn't run on that agenda. More jails, judges and juries. Good luck getting liberals on board. Which makes it a winning campaign.

Did he bribe the judge to let him off?

No doubt Harry Reid made a call. I am sure he isn't the only dem worried about their connection to Abramoff.

He'll be basking in the Israeli sunshine in no time.

No zionists do hard time.

That's outrageous he deserves twenty years.

The real outrage of the day is the senate banking committee asking fannie and freddie to stop foreclosures for 90 days. If those asswipes who STOLE all equity from common and preferred shareholders at least they could allow the remmance to be run like a real business. Just 30 days ago they were contemplating how to raise more equity from the naive public. They took 20 BILLLION in preferred shareholders LIFE SAVINGS. This is MUCH BIGGER THEN ENRON, and no one is squaking about it. F them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!

OUT AND OUT fraud and malfeasance by the US Government. WHO could trust the with anything from here out???????
