Martha lies once about a stock transaction = 5 months

[DoYouEverWonder]

W lies about the reasons for sending US troops to war = still running for reselection.


This is ridiculous. W lied to Congress, to the UN and to the American people and so far over 1000 troops have lost their lives because of his lies. Where's the punishment?

1. It is ridiculous

but Martha got 5 months, not 5 years.

2. Begala brought up that point in Crossfire today... Consternation

and avoidance of the issue all around...

3. 5 MONTHS...not years.

It was pretty lenient for the most part. She was facing 16 months.

4. I agree!

She only got a $30,000 fine, the five months in prison, the five months house arrest(in the home of her choosing), and probation. I also heard them say that it may be awhile before she actually starts serving.

6. correct...

she's free pending her appeal. If she gets another trial, it could be a long time, if ever, before she has to serve it.

5. they should both be put in stocks at k-mart

...at minimum

[Piperay]

7. Sucks...

she shouldn't have to serve anytime but thank goodness it is only five months.
