Orange Jumpsuit Award… Dick Cheney

As we all know, there is little to no chance Dick Cheney will be prosecuted for his many crimes, despite the fact that there is ample legal precedent for his extradition based on the very same legal precedents set by Republicans in prosecuting Bill Clinton after he left office…

I say, turn him over to Nigerian authorities!

Dick Cheney and others face charges in Nigeria

Nigerian investigators say they have filed charges against former U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney and others connected to the energy services company Halliburton, accusing them of paying bribes to secure a lucrative natural gas project in the 1990s.

Cheney and nine others are accused of charges that include “conspiracy and distribution of gratification to public officials,” Femi Babafemi, a spokesman for the country’s Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, said Wednesday.

The investigation is part of a long-running case involving Halliburton and a subsidiary firm, Kellogg, Brown and Root, over alleged bribes paid to Nigerian officials to secure $6 billion worth of contracts for a liquefied natural gas project in the Niger Delta.

Senate Candidate Indicted for Sex With Minor

Another day, another political sex scandal—but this one involves a minor. Ohio’s Eric W. Deaton, Senate candidate for the conservative Constitution Party, was indicted Tuesday for having alleged sexual contact with a young girl, the Dayton Daily News reports. Deaton, 42, is accused of having unlawful sexual conduct with the girl, who he reportedly met at his church, while she was between the ages of 13 and 15 … and he’s calling the whole mess “politically motivated.”

He adds that “the powers that be don’t like” his decision to run for office, and says he’ll stay in the race despite his Sept. 14 arraignment and the fact that he faces the possibility of five years in prison. According to WDTN Dayton, police say they have hotel surveillance video and receipts that prove their case … and Deaton’s lawyer says those very items (somehow) help prove that his client is innocent. Deaton, a married Cub Scout leader with three kids, says he has Tea Party endorsements.

Alvin Greene Indicted

Like… I’m supposed to be surprised at this one?

No Alvin – You don’t get to fondle the white women until AFTER you’re elected!

I still think there should be a RICO or Voting Fraud investigation of this whole shenanigan.

The sad part is I think Greene is as much a victim of this as the voters of South Carolina. I hope he at least made a few bucks off of this as South Carolina’s Sarah Palin… Because in all likelihood he is going to jail.

Alvin Greene charged over pornographic pictures

An unemployed military veteran who stunned the US political establishment by winning a Democratic primary to contest a South Carolina senate seat has been indicted on criminal charges of showing pornographic pictures to a teenage college student.

Alvin Greene, a little-known figure who has been described as America’s least likely prospective senator, is accused of approaching a young woman in a computer lab at his alma mater, the University of South Carolina. According to a grand jury indictment handed down today, he allegedly showed her obscene pictures and suggested going to her dormitory room.

If convicted, Greene could face up to five years in jail. The charges are a further blow to the credibility of a candidate who was initially overlooked as a no-hoper by Democratic party bosses before springing an out-of-the-blue shock by comfortably beating a former judge, Vic Rawl, to take the party’s nomination for this November’s mid-term senate race in South Carolina.

Greene declined to comment on the charges, which came a day after he addressed a meeting of South Carolina’s executive committee ofDemocrats with a speech appealing for support that reportedly lasted just 23 seconds.

The 32-year-old, who did no discernible campaigning in advance of his primary win, had no phone, no computer and no record of running for political office before his sudden rise to prominence.

He has been criticised for a lack of a coherent message and for a smattering of eccentric policy proposals.

In an interview with the Guardian last month, he suggested that the state’s economy could be boosted through a job creation scheme to make action models of himself in his army uniform: “They can make toys of me and my vehicle, especially for the holidays and Christmas for the kids. That’s something that would create jobs.”

Greene’s opponent in the senate battle will be Republican incumbent Jim DeMint, who is among the most conservative voices in the upper house. Greene, who has raised less than $1,000 in campaign funds, declined to comment to Associated Press reporters on his indictment, which is for twin charges of procuring obscenity and of communicating obscene materials to a person without consent.

Come on down, Alvin – time to get you measured by our Tailor…

Lawrence Taylor Indicted

Lawrence Taylor indicted on felony third-degree rape charge

Former NFL great Lawrence Taylor has been indicted on two felony counts and three misdemeanor charges related to the alleged rape of a 16-year-old allegedly hired as a prostitute, the Rockland County, N.Y., district attorney’s office said Wednesday.

Taylor, 51, faces two class “E” felony counts — third-degree rape and a third-degree criminal sexual act. The other counts are class “A” and “B” misdemeanors: endangering the welfare of a child and third-degree patronizing a prostitute, plus two counts of third-degree sexual abuse. The indictment alleges Taylor had intercourse and oral sex with the teen, then paid her $300. Under New York law, sex with a person younger than 17 constitutes third-degree rape.

Dist. Atty. Thomas P. Zugibe, in a statement, called Taylor “the end-user in the criminal chain known as sex trafficking” and said his office was “going to hold those who create the demand accountable.”

Taylor’s attorney did not respond to Associated Press calls seeking comment.
