Kentucky GOPer sentenced for drug trafficking

Considering most recent Republican occupants of the White House were drug kingpins, the above headline really shouldn't be surprising - except for the fact that Republicans usually don't get caught.

Ronnie Lane, 74, was a Republican magistrate in Garrard County, Kentucky. But now he's been convicted of felony drug trafficking charges and sentenced to 6 months in jail. Lane had initially been sentenced to a total of 15 years, but that tougher sentence was probated.

Even after receiving the shortened sentence, Lane thought the big, mean world was still being too big and mean with him. So he asked the judge if he could get out of jail for the county fair - just because he's a politician. The judge refused the request.

Another Republican politician disgraced. And it happened in Kentucky!
