The real graft and corruption in Maryland is controlled by the Judiciary.

I beg to differ. A Baltimore jury of her “peers” will fully understand that their righteous sista was just getting her fair share from The Man. They’ll probably give her a parade and re-elect her (see, e.g., Marion Barry, Ray Nagin, etc.).

thats right!! she CARES about people…and the indictment is a RACIST REPUBLIKKKAN PLOT!!!!

Every morning that I get up there is another democrat running around chanting “Hope and Change” while they are committing felony after felony.

Nothing but a circus of idiots.

it’s hard to imagine that she will get much sympathy from a jury after stealing gift cards from the poor.

Dude, I was totally kidding, I swear.

All the World is their Stage,

and one by one they fall,to

corruption!

“It Just Might Take a Woman to Clean The House”

of Corruption,’Speaker of the House’,'Nancy Pelosi’!

That’s not the Sheila Dixon I knew.

Wasn’t Pelosi’s brother mayor of Baltimore at one time ?

I think her father and her brother have both been mayors of Baltimore.

No, a republican could never get elected in Baltimore City. The state is absurdly liberal, and The City is inhabited by mostly welfare recipients and a few guilty white liberals in a couple of gentrified neighborhoods. No way on any republican, especially not someone considered to be an uncle tom or worse.

I love Steele and hope he flourishes in national poliltics.

Very true, Baltimore is a one party town. I’m disappointed to see her get accused of this. As with the Blago scandal, I’m concerned that there is no presumption of innocence for anyone when they are accused of wrongdoing. I realize that may sound naive here on HA. I “hope” Mayor Dixon isn’t guilty of these things, but given politics in Baltimore it won’t be a huge surprise if she is. I think in any city or state where one party dominates, it’s much more likely that there will be more corruption.

I doubt Steele will run for any office again in Maryland. That’s another reason why I’d like to see him as RNC Chair, as I think he can have a greater impact on the national scene.

And as far as who could win on a R ticket as mayor of Balmer, I think Cal Ripken might have the best chance. Seeing as politics seems to be increasingly about star power and appearance, why not?

Speaking of doing the best………walked into a McDonald’s early evening and when I walked around the corner to go to the counter there were all black customers standing in line and the black manager was standing in the back of all of them and they ended up getting bags of food and I did not witness ANY type of transaction that involved money. Every one was having a great time! Wonder if the owner of that McDonald’s really checks the “wasted food” report. The woman Manager sure was happy to provide. Curious what I did? Stood in line and paid for our food. Momma raised me with some class.

What you describe is in fact going to be the official domestic economic system to be installed on January 20th.

But… when I got out of work tonight and heard from dad that she was indited.. I think I was ready to throw a party! For another reason also… recently, she and the city council of Baltimore City were caught trying to sneak in pay raises, and after first causing a public controversy by saying she was keeping the money, she decided to donate the money after advisers suggested otherwise…

Reason Number 2. Her Defense lawyer complained that “this investigation has gone on longer than some for gitmo detainees!”

my reply…. GOOD!!!!

Oh side note… GO RAVENS!

So far, I have not been proven wrong.
