Wife of Rep. Conyers begins federal prison sentence By Michael O'Brien - 09/10/10 04:28 PM ET

The wife of Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.) reported to a federal prison in West Virginia on Friday to begin a 37-month sentence on corruption charges.

Monica Conyers, a former Detroit city councilwoman, reported to the Alderson Federal Prison Camp this afternoon 20 minutes before deadline, the Detroit Free Press reported.

Conyers pleaded guilty last year for taking bribes to influence a vote on a sludge disposal contract in Detroit. She has since attempted to withdraw her plea.

Her husband, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, has dodged questions about his wife and her guilty plea.

No pillow talk between those two, no siree. John is not a conspirator, repeat, John is not a conspirator.

On the other hand, it shows that all is not lost, yet, that one of the political class goes to jail, although I seriously doubt she stays there for long.

I'm shocked!

What, shocked that there is corruption in the "D", or shocked that she was actually was sent away? ;)
