1. Good! he can

rot in jail!

[liberalhistorian]

2. I certainly agree

that Rudolph is a racist murderer, not to mention a traitorous domestic terrorist, but I'm against the death penalty and would not have been in favor of it, even for him. Let him rot in prison for the rest of his miserable, scummy life.

3. Life in prison will be better,

let this guy tell us why he did it.

4. Seriously, who wants his anti-abortion buddies getting the explosives?

I'd rather the government got and destroyed the secret stash.

6. One of the secret stashes

And Rudolph's now positioned to recruit followers for decades.

But what REALLY steams me is torture-and-kill Gonzales saying justice is served. How much of a hypocrite can you be?

5. Is that the real headline? And how about some clips? nt

8. Excerpt:

Accused serial bomber Eric Robert Rudolph will avoid a possible death sentence by pleading guilty to a string of attacks in Alabama and Georgia, including a deadly blast during the 1996 Olympics, the U.S. Justice Department announced Friday.

Rudolph, 38, will be sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole in exchange for guilty pleas to all charges against him.

As part of the deal, Rudolph told investigators where in western North Carolina he had stashed explosives, which were found and destroyed...

...According to the Justice Department, Rudolph will enter his first guilty plea Wednesday morning in Birmingham, Alabama, where jury selection began this week for what was to have been his trial in the January 1998 bombing of a women's clinic.

Rudolph will then be transferred to Atlanta, Georgia, where he will plead guilty to the attack at a concert in Centennial Olympic Park during the 1996 Olympics; two bombings an hour apart at a suburban women's clinic in January 1997; and a bombing at a lesbian nightclub in February that same year.

Actual Headline:

Rudolph agrees to plea agreement
Deal would allow accused bomber to avoid death penalty

7. But it's one less Republican vote for 2008

The more of them that are put in jail the better our chances of winning.

10. the repukes didn't want a trial...he is no different

from the rest of the crazy fundies and that would have been made very clear. What would all the tv whores have done when he spouted the party line on the witness stand?
