Clinton's Tennessee committee includes 2 felons
Associated Press - December 24, 2007 2:55 PM ET
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Hillary Clinton's 100-person Tennessee Steering Committee reportedly includes two people convicted of felonies in the 1980s.
Gladys Crain of Halls was convicted in 1981 on federal charges connected with a scheme to rig bids on a state highway construction project, and former state House Majority Leader Tommy Burnett of Jamestown was imprisoned in 1984 for failure to file an income tax return.
Clinton's Democratic presidential campaign did not immediately return a phone call from The Associated Press seeking comment. The Tennessean newspaper reported the story on its Web site Monday.
Burnett was re-elected from his jail cell, but was later caught up in Operation Rocky Top federal corruption probe and went back to prison for another year on federal conspiracy and illegal gambling charges.
He currently works as a Statehouse lobbyist.
Crain headed Governor Bredesen's 2002 campaign in Lauderdale County.
Bring it on!!!
Surprise—NOT!!!!!!!!!!
Reads wrong … two felons + Hillary an Bill = four, in my estimation, at the very least.
Only two???!!! Wow, that is big news.
Next year's Christmas comes early! Yeah, that's it!
I would call that “under-representation.”
“Birds of a feather flock............”
Hey...its about the pardons you know. Its hard to earn a pardon and clear your record...and if you only have to put 200 man-hours of help with the campaign...maybe she wins and she can clean up your situation. I’m pretty sure there are 200 folks around the country doing this.
ABSOLUTELY ABSURED AND COMPLETELY IMPOSSIBLE!
THERE ARE MORE THAN THAT ON THE PAYROLL! (i.e. ALL of them are felons, although not all convicted :-)
plus unpaid advisor Sandy Berger
Given the Clintoid’s history in this regard, I would be more surprised if there were NO felons attached to the witch’s campaign.
Clinton’s attract crooks and spies the way dog-puke attracts flies.
Surounded by her kind, I’d say.
Only two?
The criminal part of the Clinton constituency needs representation too. After all, Hillary wants to give them the vote.
That’s what I was thinkin’...
We already knew that the clintons were felons many times over. Who could compare enough to show up on the radar through their blinding light?
Are we to believe that there are
SOME
on the Machiavellian’s team who are
NOT
felons?
What a surprise.
And the National Team includes an impeached, felon, sexual predator and jerk-off in White House sinks!!!!!
Democrats from Tennessee with felony records, who wouda’ thunk.
This is no big deal, unless they are convicted child molesters, and according to the thread, they aren’t.
In a nation that is tolerant to homosexual marriages and kills 1.4 unborn babies each year, do you think they give a rip about someone not paying their taxes?
Sad to say it but, we are becoming an Amoral nation. I think the elections of ‘08 will prove it.
Why wouldn’t it? Her donor list is a veritable Who’s Who of felons.
HILL'S CAMP FIRES CROOKED PAIR

The state power-players with prior convictions are Gladys Crain, who was convicted of charges stemming from a bid-rigging scheme in 1981, and Tommy Burnett, the former state House majority leader, who was jailed in 1984 on charges of neglecting to file income-tax returns.
Crain, who's in her 80s, told The Tennessean that she got a call informing her she was on the 100-person steering committee.
"They didn't ask me, they told me," said Crain, who worked on Bill Clinton's presidential teams.
The Clinton campaign said that Crain and Burnett were added in error.
"These individuals were mistakenly included on the list we released and are not members of our steering committee," the campaign said.
Yet.
ANYONE and EVERYONE connected to the Clintons are DIRTY...period.
Clinton’s Tennessee committee includes 2 felons...
lib/dem diversity!!!!
Clinton’s team in Tennessee has two felons. From that, we know that the Fords are supporting Obama.
You’ll understand that one if you are from Tennessee.
Only 2? Probably because Janet Reno made sure that they others weren’t prosecuted.
That is known and convicted felons, not counting the candidate or her husband.
True. True.
I wonder how many are going to await . . . THE JUDGE of ALL JUDGES.
to paraphrase . . .
THE FATHER OF ALL JUDGES. No escaping THAT COURT.
The very thoughts and intents of their hearts every microsecond . . . they will be held accountable to the nth degree.
But then . . . so will we all.
To quote Gomer Pyle "Surprise, surprise, surprise !!"
NOT !!!
Two felons are removed from Clinton committee :
Bill and Hillary ?
What a surprise...guffaw.
It's been proven that, by using felons, campaigns can be more effective at getting votes.
That didn't take long. (She can't do anything right...)
Does anyone know about Harold and Sylvia Woods, two labor activists, yada, yada? They are also on the Steering Committee.
I’ll check back at this site for the next few days.
Need to know where they came from.
