GOP ex-congressman convicted of 17 felonies

Rick Renzi is a Republican former congressman from Arizona who retired after being indicted on a host of federal charges.

Renzi faced 32 felony counts dealing with insider land deals, unlawfully using personal business funds for political purposes, and stealing money from customers of his insurance business to finance his political career. Now he's just been convicted of 17 of these counts.

Hey, look on the bright side, Rick. At least you weren't convicted of the other 15. You gotta be a real "glass is half-full" type if you want to be a Republican today!
