How many think us "little people" would get away with six months for possession and use of crack?

If you took the plea deal so the case did not go to trial and did not act up in jail plenty of people could get that.

When D.C. re-elected him after his jail term, the city should have been immediately placed on martial law. That's plenty of evidence the citizens there are too dumb to be allowed to vote.

They do tend to embody the Dems concept that voters are too stupid to understand what's good for them and have to be misled "for their own good". The same applies for Romney's 47% comments. Bad form saying it out loud notwithstanding, he was absolutely correct that those fools would rather vote for anyone but an "R", even if they had to gnaw their own arm off to do it.

Hey, I'd rather smoke crack and bang a hooker than do whatever it is I do on Columbus Day.

Well, if they cremate him, I hope they do it upwind of the capitol building. Popcorn and a six-pack for the most entertaining C-SPAN day ever!
