"The husband of an Illinois congresswoman pleaded guilty Wednesday to tax violations and bank fraud for writing rubber checks and failing to collect withholding tax from an employee. "Robert Creamer, a political consultant married to four-term U.S. Rep. Jan Schakowsky, could face four years in prison on the two felony counts when he is sentenced Dec. 21. "In my heart, I know that these mistakes do not define or diminish this good man, or the good work that he has done over the last 40 years or that he will do in the future," Schakowsky, D-Ill., said after her husband's court hearing."-------- Isn't that just precious? The Congress lady that ragged on patriots for exercising their First Amendment rights was perfectly willing to accept a convicted felon as a "good man." As it turns out, Schakowsky's "good man" ended up going to jail as described, in part, at Wikipedia:
"On April 5, 2006, Creamer was sentenced to five months in prison and 11 months house arrest. Creamer served his 5 month incarceration at the Federal Correction Institute in Terre Haute, Indiana and was released on November 3, 2006."It should be pointed out that Rep. Jan Schakowsky has never been implicated in her husband's felony. Which is not to say that a five-month stint in a cold and smelly cell might not do a world of good for this unrepentant knot head from Illinois!
John W. Lillpop is a recovering liberal. “Clean and sober” since 1992 when last he voted for a Democrat. For years, John lived in the San Francisco Bay Area, the very liberal sanctuary city which protects, rather than prosecutes, certain favored criminals. John escaped the Bay Area in May and now lives in Pine Grove California where conservative values are still in vogue.
