You get the government you elect in a Republic. New York's 11th District saw fit to re-elect a guy that threatened to throw a reporter off a balcony and is guilty of tax evasion. What on earth were they thinking?

So now the jackass says you can pry his Congressional seat from his cold dead hand. Apparently he will see 18 months of prison time and thinks he can serve time and his constituents simultaneously. Should make from some mildly amusing theatre at the start of the next Congress.

I wonder if he will make Bohner cry real tears?

Why the hell do you think politicians are in any way better than the ordinary citizen?

He's been elected because he's "one of us" !

Michael Grimm, former Staten Island congressman, sentenced to 8 months in prison on tax conviction

"Your moral compass needs some reorientation," she told Grimm, who was ordered to surrender to serve his sentence on Sept. 10.

Grimm, a Republican, allegedly paid restaurant workers -- some illegally in the country -- off the books, and understated the restaurant's receipts. He had argued that the prosecution, which began as a campaign finance probe, was a political vendetta, but he resigned from Congress after the plea.
 
He was not too arrogant. /end sarcasm

"20 counts of mail, wire and tax fraud."

"He was accused of hiding as much as $1 million in revenue from the restaurant he previously co-owned."
