Vito Fossella going to jail - maybe

Vito Fossella, Republican representative from New York, was convicted of drunken driving and has been sentenced to five days in jail. He is to begin serving his sentence on December 19. His lawyer promised an immediate appeal the purpose of which is to postpone indefinitely his reporting to the clink.

Fossella, an ultra-right homophobic conservative, has other problems, too. When he was arrested for DUI back in May, it was revealed that he had been involved in an affair with an Air Force officer with whom he'd fathered a child. His wife and three children were not thrilled with the news.

This led to Fossella's decision not to seek re-election.

The best part is that a Democrat won his seat in the November election.


One less Repugnican hypocrite in Congress is always a cause for rejoicing!

Happy holidays!
