Discouraging news from Don Siegelman
got this email today:

The three judge panel of the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals has just ruled. While they threw out two counts of my politically-motivated prosecution and conviction, they upheld several others and have sent the case back to the district court for re-sentencing.

I am disappointed, but not discouraged. The fight will continue.

My family and I are deeply appreciative of the outpouring of support and prayers. Your words and actions keep our spirits lifted and our resolve strong. We will get through this, and we will win.

Sincerely,




Don Siegelman
Governor of Alabama 1999-2003

1. Don't know if the Justice Department can enter into this, but my hope is that they will...

especially since this whole thing was politically based in the first place. This would be a travesty of justice otherwise. Based on what we know the Bush Administration will more than likely get away with, this would suck big time.

2. Travesty.
That's the word. How is it 'bribery' when you appoint a contributor to a non-profit post?

3. Thanks for the post, Catwoman. Southerners will yet rally to Siegelman.
And reject Ms. Drysdale. I mean, Karl Rove.

9. Yikes! How disappointing... K&R. But thanks for sharing... :-)
How this man keeps his spirits up is a mystery to me. This should have been resolved long ago... :-(

Best to the kitties... :hi:

11. I've always loved your sig,
except when they gave me a start after they started making faces at me, LOL. But now my little guys are doing the same thing to you.. ;)

They are adorable. :loveya:

These days, I live with Huck and Tommy, as well as my pup. Talk about being spoiled! All I have to do is walk into the kitchen and they're both right there, demanding treats... :D



And you've never met the real Rhiannon, the most amazing cat I will ever know... :loveya:

13. I've lost the thread. Is he out of appeals?
Is there a chance he'll get time served?

This is horrible. :(
