Fellow Dems Rally Around Convicted Felon Gary Siplin
Democrats' epic battle against the "Culture of Corruption" remains on hold as Florida Dems rally around State Senator Gary Siplin, who has been convicted of felony grand theft.
Minority Leader Steve Geller is among the eight Democratic State Senators hosting a fundraiser on Siplin's behalf. Attendees are asked to cough up $500, the maximum allowed.
Siplin is a special guy, being the first convicted felon to serve in the Florida Senate. He hasn't been kicked out because he's appealing, and hasn't voluntarily stepped down because he's a Democrat.
Also hosting the gala fundraiser is State Senator Frederica Wilson. She was among those demanding that Republican Representative Ralph Arza step down for using an ethnic slur — he did so. But she sees no reason for her fellow Dem to follow suit, because felony grand theft is not an "egregious crime" like name-calling.
These are the sort of people we put in charge of the House and the Senate.
On a tip from Wiggins.

By "we", I assume you're using the national "we". Nationally, the Democrats were put in control of Congress, but not by the actions of the present company "we", your loyal readers.

Thanks Steve, for making that very important distinction.
