The end of a political career.

sdtahoe · December 9, 2003

Our (South Dakota's) former 4 time governor and current sole congresman was convicted by a jury today.

This will pretty much end his long political career.

He deserved what he got. If he had that little control over his mental state, he didn't need to be driving. The multiple speeding tickets for 90 + MPH that he just paid off like they were nothing should have been a sign. Now someone is dead. He doesn't deserve a political career.

It was just announced on TV that he will resign his position with congress on Jan 20th, the day of his sentencing.

In the past when he was governor he bragged about driving fast, I have to admit I do it at times, as there is very little traffic on some ofur roads compared to what some of you are used to, but not through blind intersections with a stop sign.

He got what he deserved in my opinion, now lets just see what the sentancing brings.

Heh,when I first read the topic I thought it was about Al Gore endorsing Howard Dean.Pretty much a death sentence there too.

He meant Dean is dead now. Al Gore was dead two years before he became Vice President.

Al Gore was dead two years before he became Vice President.

Yeah....But he found new life when he created the internet....And pants.

Payback by Gore to the Clintons- their man is Clark. The Clintons need Clark to be the nominee because he would surely lose against Bush and it will open the door for Piano Legs in '08. Dean will lose as well, but if he gets the nomination he gets contol over the DNC and will replace Clinton rump-swab McCauliffe. Watch for the sabotaging of Dean by the Clintons to start shortly.
