Is this a new record?

#4 Meanwhile Jon Corzine has not been indicted. Talk is that Jeff Skilling, of Enron infamy, will be let out of prison early, for no good reason.

#5 Diane Hathaway you have been a bad girl, a very bad girl.

Hathaway, speaking publicly for the first time, was on the verge of tears while speaking to U.S. District Judge John Corbett O'Meara.

"Your honor, I stand before you a broken person," said Hathaway, 59. "I am ashamed, embarrassed, humiliated and disgraced, and I have no one to blame but myself. I take full responsibility for my acts and am truly sorry for the choices I made."

O'Meara concluded Hathaway is not a risk of committing another crime and credited her for rising to the top judicial position in the state. But he ordered her to prison and to pay $90,000 restitution and serve two years' probation.

"We hope you accomplish a great deal more once you are by this thing," said O'Meara, who was nominated by President Bill Clinton in 1994.

The Clinton Administration the gift that keeps on giving....Really just a warm-up for what is to come....The Obama Administration

#6 "She was a bad person who did a bad thing," Pero said. "She got what she deserved but didn't get enough."

No, she didn't, would have gotten at least 5 years,
(But I don't have a "Dem", behind my name, and I'm not a judge)

She'll be out in 6 months tops.
