He was sentenced today to 30 months in prison, and his wife to a year, for pocketing campaign funds. The initial reaction here is that he got off easy. I don't agree. For one thing his political career and his political career are destroyed (deservedly so). And I don't think 2 1/2 years in prison is anything to sneeze at. I wouldn't want to spend 2 1/2 days in prison. Some people think anything less than the death sentence or life in prison is a slap on the wrist. I disagree. I think the sentence is pretty appropriate.
