Democrat Criminal Round-Up
Featuring the all-star duo of Herman Thomas and Hiram Monserrate!
You may recall that these two pieces of human slime are competing for the title of least-suitable-for-public-life and most-detestable-crime.
In the blue corner (top pic) is Herman “The Judge” Thomas, who, despite being a circuit judge in Alabama, liked to spank and rape male prisoners in his office (plus he gets extra points for claiming racism to be behind his arrest, as opposed to the 57 indictments against him, ranging from ethics violations to kidnapping, assault, extortion, sex abuse and sodomy – sodomy’s still a category of crime? Is this for cases of male rape? Any lawyers here to explicify?).
And in the red corner (bottom pic) is Hiram “The Slasher” Monserrate, the personification of modern chivalry, who, during a fight – by which I mean an actual physical fight, as opposed to a more routine lovers’ tiffs of screaming insults and slamming doors – with his girlfriend, slashed her with a broken bottle. After which he proceeded to drag her through his apartment lobby while she was bleeding from a cut around her eye and to her skull. Deniability is difficult once people have seen you publicly hoisting around a battered woman, genius.
If convicted of the most serious charges, Herman faces from 20 years to life in prison. Hiram, on the other hand, has been found guilty of misdemeanor assault but not felony assault, without which – you guessed it – he can retain his seat in the New York State Senate and collect his $79,500 salary. Something tells me that Herman is likely to receive a similarly lenient sentence.
This would not be tolerated in the workplace, nor within (most) families.
So why must we put up with it in politics?

Hmmm… this one’s a real head scratcher, hmmm…. Can I guess? Could it be because they’re both Democrats?

Wait, you mean it’s not normal for your boyfriend to slash you with broken bottles and drag you through a lobby? What kind of jerks have I been dating? That’s my typical Saturday night!

Being in Alabama I will help you on the sodomy law. Two consenting adults can do anything to each other ass’s they like. But, forcible anal rape is still charged as sodomy. This is actually a catch all for male rape (since technically a man cannot be “raped” in Alabama, the legal definition of rape is forcible sex penetration of a woman by a man.)

Phillip – welcome, and thank you for the clarification.

Let me guess, the media probably never put the “D” after their names, did they?
