... so, I wonder if maybe certain powers-that-be have decided (subconsciously or otherwise) that's as good a sentence as a few years in prison, without all the overhead ...
He sounds like a Kennedy.
Funny you should say that because that was my initial thought.
Sick.
I bet the father is a democrat.
