Former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman, one of the most popular
progressive governors in Southern political history, is cleaning toilets
in a Louisiana jail today, convicted on bribery charges in what may be
one of the worst abuses of the federal courts by the executive branch
during President Bush's tenure. Siegelman's case, among others, was
taken up October 23 in a House Judiciary Committee hearing on selective
prosecutions.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.thenation.com/doc/20071105/wilson">
Siegelman was indicted by US Attorney Leura Canary, whose husband is a
close friend of Karl Rove, and his seven-year sentence--the
second-longest ever given to a politician convicted of bribery in this
country--was doled out by Mark Fuller, a Republican judge who owes his
lifetime appointment on the federal bench to the President. The bribery
charges have nothing to do with personal enrichment but rather with
donations Siegelman helped secure for a campaign to pass a lottery bill
that would have increased funds for Alabama's ailing public schools.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/B9B32AEB-232A-4BDF-8D18-9D6B24B71DE3/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
