Awww, the Sorenson family's fee fees were hurt

Yep, they were mad that the judge didn't let him off.

A Republican political operative and his family had hoped he would avoid prison after admitting to his role in a cash-for-endorsement scandal — and they lashed out after he was sentenced to 15 months.

The former GOP lawmaker’s family shouted at reporters outside the courthouse, and Sorenson denounced his critics.

“Are you happy now?” said one of Sorenson’s sisters, and two of his daughters shouted obscenities at reporters and tried to block a television camera.

Sorenson posted a message on his Facebook page apologizing for his actions and attacking those who were “gleeful” over his punishment.

Well Kent, you made this bed, go fucking lie in it now.

Happier if he'd got 24 months. Do they still pay inmates to make license plates?

We all know the rules don't apply to them. How could anyone be so naïve?
Do I really have to put this in here?
