If the description is correct, the men's health will deteriorate very rapidly from the Gulag conditions they have been put into.

And if anyone thinks I'm a bleeding heart liberal, don't jostle me in a dark alley any time soon.

Now you have me wondering if his real name might be different than his political name.

Many Democrats are saying the same thing as you are.

Dante’s 9th circle of hell is reserved for betrayers of trust. Seems to me it applies quite well for thieving betrayers of the public trust. Maybe he would prefer the 2nd or 3rd zone of the 9th circle, where he could be with more of his kind.

I am not naive. It happens on both sides of the isle although the democrats have more of them.

That was my first try, as well. I tried Don, if that hadn’t worked, I was going to start Googleing for other possible first names.

We are told he has his Bible with him but is bored because he has nothing to do. We need Larry King to get on this case. Larry: "What is your favorite Bible verse?"

"I don't remember," and "I like them all" are not good answers.

If he had been a Republican, that fact would have been mentioned at least three times in the article.

Siegelman was accused of trading government favors for campaign donations when he was governor...

Geez, I am shocked, shocked that a politician would ever do that.

Scrushy was a respiratory therapist who built a business, but he was a piece of work. In his heyday he backed a sales tax increase in Birmingham to subsidize a domed stadium. When the measure failed, he denied that only bigwigs such as himself wanted it. In a radio interview he noted that it was supported as well by the "little people".

Siegelman is sharing the cell with former HealthSouth CEO Richard Scrushy.

I highly doubt that.

I found this little tidbit on Wikipedia

However, a controversy emerged surrounding evidence that Siegelman may have been the target of a politically motivated malicious prosecution orchestrated by Karl Rove.

Yeah...Rove did it. That's why Siegelman is in prison. :)

Google news search for Siegelman: 455 hits.

Google news search for Siegelman Democrat: 59 hits

Google news search for Siegelman Democrat Rove: 28 Hits

So, only mention his party affiliation when trying to create a Rovian conspiracy?

"And may the former governor of Arkansas join him."

Which one ? All of them are crooks in some form or another.
