Former Detroit councilwoman Monica Conyers

"Former"??? Why former?

Can't she just continue to rule from behind bars? I'm sure there must be some precedent for this. Maybe a CCTV hook-up?

Cognitive visits? At her age, even a brain transplant wouldn't help. :)

Politics will, eventually, get you anywhere.

My hope is that Obama will be prosecuted for falsely holding the office of President.

Is it too much to hope for a low speed police chase of a white Ford Bronce?

Cognitive? Probably. Conjugal, not likely.

What happens if she doesn’t go to prison by Friday? Will she be arrested and thrown into jail?

Conyers faces a 37-month sentence for taking bribes to support a sludge contract when she served on the council.

Conyers is the wife of U.S. Rep. John Conyers, a Michigan Democrat and chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.

Taking bribes? I'm speechless. Shocked I tell you. .
