Should Bush Pardon Edwin Edwards ?

[Roman09]

Hasn't the man suffered enough? Or let the SOB rot..... End of term pardons coming soon.

[NoNoNanette]

Let the poor bastard go. He's harmless at this point.

True story:

Moved down here in '83. Went to a New Orleans Advertising Club function and met Edwin Edwards. He called me "Cher" and kissed me on the cheek.

Jesus Christ. I went weak in the knees! What charisma. What a sexy old duffer! Whew! :)

[Mac da Knife]

Nope.

He's corrupt.
One of the very few who got caught (and THAT'S when they're contrite).
Fu*k 'em all.

Do the crime, pay the time.

Standards based justice defined:

If a citizen commits a crime, he goes to jail.
If a cop commits a crime, he goes to an ass pounding prison.
If an elected politician commits a crime, he has his genitals ripped off, and his bleeding carcass is fed to feral pigs in the public square.

Now, THAT would be a deterrent to these parasites.

One of the very few who got caught (and THAT'S when they're contrite).

Yes, but he's never been contrite. I pretty sure he's always maintained he was railroaded.

So, I say screw him. Considering the irreparable damage he's done to the state, he got off light with his original sentence.

[Mac da Knife]

Agreed.

If arrogant, the carcass is set afire before being fed to the pigs.
We would have a very, very clean house.

[LauraMc]

I say let him out and let him replace Nagin as mayor.

[GuySajerForgottenSoldier]

But EWE never hurt anyone. He only robbed rich people. The good poor people of LA were never harmed by our old friend Fast Eddie.

[Alex]

No. Edwards should do his time.

[flyinbayou]

Nope.

He's corrupt.
One of the very few who got caught (and THAT'S when they're contrite).
Fu*k 'em all.

I could not have stated it better.
They get caught and all the sudden Jesus is their best friend!

[Oyster]

Hell to the no!

He is the main reason you are seeing so much corruption being exposed on a daily basis.

And...he still thinks he did NOTHING wrong!

F that piece of crap!

Oh...and he hasn't kissed me.

[cstoehr]

Absolutley NOT!
