In gushes of anger, humor, acceptance and even gratitude, former Minneapolis City Council Member Dean Zimmermann readied himself for federal prison Thursday after a jury convicted him on three counts of political corruption.
"Everything I was convicted of was manufactured by the FBI,'' Zimmermann contended as he left federal court in Minneapolis, where the verdict was read after an eight-day trial that concluded Wednesday.

Minneapolis city council commie ping!

Geez! If I felt I was framed, I don't think I'd have "gushes of anger, humor, acceptance and even gratitude".

BTW. Check out the MN Freeper board. Picnic coming up on 9/9.

Oh my! Snort!
No, not next week, September 9th, and I expect to see that on poster board. LOL
Thay could sing a duet of It's Not Easy Being Green! (just thought of that)
Oh yeah, what the hell was I thinking? I'll have to see about that date too. There's a huge trade show (IMTS) in Chicago from 9-6 through 9-13, and I'm not sure which dates I'll have to be there. That's the bad part of working for a sales organization, having to go out of town on short notice all the time.
Hands over ears! I had to live through those Sesame Street video years.
Perhaps a loop of that song should be Zimmerman's punishment. LOL
What I love about these Minneapolis bribery arrests is that all these clowns risk their lives, careers, family, jail time, everything they've ever had and worked for--for peanuts! Five grand, seven grand...In Biernat's case, it was plumbing!
Sure is a first-class town.
