NY Gun-Grabber Sheldon Silver Guilty of Corruption Charges

Disgraced former New York Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, a leader in the effort to disarm peaceable citizens, has been found guilty on seven federal counts of extortion, money laundering and fraud. Additionally the jury convicted him of trading favors in exchange for $5 million. Unbelievably, except it’s really not, his defense centered on the protest that in New York politics, everybody does it. [More]
It does kind of make you wonder what kind of idiots demand to be disarmed by criminals.

I think he misunderstood what his Mom was trying to tell him when as a young child she asked "If your friends jumped off the roof would you do it too?"

His answer obviously was "Hell yes!"

Albany and Political Corruption – redundant or synonymous?
