Poor ole Jeb

[KappaKittyCat]

Y'know, I find this whole situation amusing (in my own little way). Here's why:

If I got caught with crack and I was guilty (i.e. it hadn't been planted on me or something like that), my parents would disown me and encourage the DA to send me to jail for the rest of my life. 'Course, the DA would have to dig me up first, 'cuz my momma would have killed me the moment she got her hands on me.

If my daddy was a public figure and I was in Noelle's situation, he'd sure as hell make a HUGE example out of me. None of this "Poor baby, let's find you some rehab." I'm talking punishment to the fullest extent of the law. And I think he'd be right to do it.

Now, that doesn't reflect my opinion of mandatory sentencing laws and alternative sentencing programs. I do, however, feel that when an official is elected to govern, he and his family should be law-abiding citizens or face the consequences, just like everybody else.
