Conyers' wife sentenced to three years in prison - Glenn Thrush - POLITICO.com

The wife of House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers (D-Mich.) has been sentenced to a three-year prison sentence as part of a plea deal, the AP reports.

A federal judge has denied ex-Detroit Councilwoman Monica Conyers' request to withdraw her guilty plea in a corruption case and sentenced her to three years and one month in prison.

Conyers suggested she was the victim of "badgering" last summer when she acknowledged a conspiracy to take bribes for her support of a Houston company seeking a sludge contract from the city.

But U.S. District Judge Avern Cohn says her plea deal was voluntary.

Conyers, the wife of Michigan Democratic Congressman John Conyers, quit her council seat after pleading guilty.

1. Detroit, we'd all suffer so much sympathy for you---if you didn't so fully DESERVE everything you're getting.

2. Still, sorry.

3. MISTER Conyers aint no chevalier.

9. African Americans are becoming rightly enraged about how much has been accomplished by this poser president FOR THE SUPER RICH.

10. He has bailed out every bankrupt, backed every obscene bonus for every bum and bungler, bankrolled every bogus bagman and badguy inside the Beltway and beyond.

11. He has SOCIALIZED the losses of the megacorps while PRIVATIZING their gains.

oh, no, you silly

LOL!

misses conyers, monica, was SENTENCED today!
 
Gee Prof. You CAN write after all. Nice post.
 
Oh wow...I guess the salad days are truly over for the Conyers.
 
Oh wow...I guess the salad days are truly over for the Conyers.

He had salad days? Just seems to me that the corruption doesn't always stop at the Capital or go home with the Congressional members.... sometimes is bleeds into the rest of the family.
 
Every Monica Conyers thread has to contain these two gems:

Her flipping her **** at a council meeting:

Her getting owned by a school girl:

That's just precious stuff right there... maybe she'll have a good number of debates in prison and she can call other inmates "Shrek". If she ever wanted to see what getting stomped on feels like she should try it.
 
oh, no, you silly

LOL!

misses conyers, monica, was SENTENCED today!

Oh, ok, good to know. cuz it sounded like you were trying to make it be about everything but that, for a while there.
 
i'm in no position to make "it" be about anything

"it" is what "it" is

conyers DID say that powers that be called off his investigation into acorn

conyers DID misuse his staff

conyers DID call out the president for whining like a little girl

detroit DID bring all or most of this all on itself

and the CULTURE OF CORRUPTION is, i mean, IS going on stronger than ever before

i didn't do "it"

LOL!
 
This thread is about Monica Conyers. Do try and stay on topic.
 
"it" is about anything anyone wants "it" to be

such as:

obama gets an F from graham-talent, son of 9-11 commission, on stopping the spread of wmd's

Obama Gets 'F' on Stopping Spread of Weapons of Mass Destruction

ouch!

or maybe you'd rather talk about obama's roofless reconstruction of fannie and freddie---i know the cbc was bitching obama's butt on THAT all morning thursday

U.S. to Lose $400 Billion on Fannie, Freddie, Wallison Says - Bloomberg.com

did you hear the hispanics howling?

Immigration provision has Hispanic Caucus threatening ?no? health vote - TheHill.com

no one's ever seen so many pissy progressives

Obama's liberal base 'disengaged' - USATODAY.com

nor so many hurtful headlines

perhaps you'd rather pursue bob woodward's leak of general mcchrystal's secret assessment which exposed as prevarications obama's claims, made on five sunday talks just the day before, that he had not yet been asked for reinforcements in afghanistan

and that he was still awaiting his commander's top to bottom review, a report the watergate wonderboy revealed on monday the president had been sitting on for a month

McChrystal: More Forces or 'Mission Failure' - washingtonpost.com

this is what underlay that long, dithering dispute between the putz and his field experts, his own pentagon, indeed, over what to do with OBAMA'S WAR

like i said, take the conversation anywhere you want

you know i'm always game

hey, maybe you could count the number of words the prodigious prof employs in each line

LOL!

now, THAT would be compelling!

and keep perusing the prof, perseveringly

it's positive to pay off!
 
Moderator's Warning:
It's really not about any of those things. Let's please keep this thread to the subject of the thread.
 
the conyers are corrupt and incompetent

so is a good chunk of the democrat party under obama

the culture of corruption is multiplying like a petrie dish

the chicago-ization of united states politics is nearing complete

obama is a loser, he's responsible for all, he's the president

anything else?

this, from the guy who's more interested in the SENTENCE STRUCTURE of powerful opponents of the president than bart stupak's particular disposition to the reid bill

LOL!

You means it's not about Monica Lewinsky.....uhh...oh :confused: :lol:
 
I don't think readers of this particular thread get the full impact of Monica's just plain wholesome fruity wackness.

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pcR9KzZ0fU"]YouTube- UPDATE: Monica Conyers Get Sentenced To 37 Months In Prison!!!![/ame]


She signs a plea last year, which states no appeal, then wants to withdraw the appeal. Then on sentencing day she creates a scene in a feeble attempt to influence her sentencing - to no avail.

Where's John Conyers as he's missed the last few days at Congress and missed 3 votes? He wasn't at the sentencing and not at work. This woman is bat **** nuts, and makes Cynthia McKinney almost look tame. I think John's laying low and not willing to take questions.

Those of us in Michigan do get the full impact, and have. She has been a long term embarrassment.
 
she's not the only one, not by a long shot

Ya know maybe this calls for a contest --- a poll pitting say 3 against each other until the top moonbats are identified as per DP's readers. Little quips and poignant video/audio/text about each and a moonbat of the decade (2000-2010) could be identified.

But really - some of the local whackadoodles out do the national ones by a mile. Perhaps whittling it down to say a list of 10 or 15 and then drill down into the king/queen moonbats on the political stage as per DP readers and polls.
