Now don’t be hard on yourself. You, like me, probably thought that “D” meant douchebag or d*^khead.

This should send the KOS’rs in to ORBIT!
I wonder if the CBS Evening News will bother to cover it, and if they do, will they dare to say the word-DEMOCRAT?

On May 27, 2004, Siegelman was served an indictment on federal charges, but the day after his trial began, prosecutors abruptly dropped all charges.
The judge threw out much of the prosecution's evidence and stated that that no new charges could be refiled based on the disallowed evidence.
On June 29, 2006, a federal jury found both Siegelman and Scrushy guilty on seven of the 33 counts in the indictment. Siegelman was convicted on "one count of bribery, one count of conspiracy to commit honest services mail fraud, four counts of honest services mail fraud and one count of obstruction of justice"
Siegelman is currently working to see Karl Rove held in contempt for refusing to testify before a House committee that is investigating his conviction.

the MAy 27 trial was not the same case. That case was in B'hm, and the Judge was a total disgrace (now off the bench, Thank God!!).
Also, Rove has agreed to testify before the House Circuis Committee. Looks like there won't be much to talk about now, excepy Dandy Don's lovely new orange jumpsuit!

Who was the judge in this case? Surely it was not Thompkins. I would be shocked if so. This is not over. With a dem judge/governor/president/$$ money man both Don and his cohort are sure to be pardoned.
