In reply to the discussion: Legal Schnauzer publisher Roger Shuler released after more than 5 months in Alabama jail [View all]Octafish

Siegelman made the mistake of being an honest Democrat in an age of warmongers. The scum of the earth "money trumps peace" crowd.
The Pork Barrel World of Judge Mark Fuller
by Scott Horton
Harpers
EXCERPT...
The recusal motion rested upon details about Fullers personal business interests. On February 22, 2007, defense attorneys obtained information that Judge Fuller held a controlling 43.75% interest in government contractor Doss Aviation, Inc. After investigating these claims for over a month, the attorneys filed a motion for Fullers recusal on April 18, 2007. The motion stated that Fullers total stake in Doss Aviation was worth between $1-5 million, and that Fullers income from his stock for 2004 was between $100,001 and $1 million dollars.
In other words, Judge Fuller likely made more from his business income, derived from U.S. Government contracts, than as a judge. Fuller is shown on one filing as President of the principal business, Doss Aviation, and his address is shown as One Church Street, Montgomery, Alabama, the address of the Frank M. Johnson Federal Courthouse, in which his chambers are located.

Doss Aviation is huge. And it's still just the tip of the dirty BFEE iceberg.

OP
Alabama GOP didn't like the part about a rising ''star'' sleeping with a married woman.

Pretty sad state of affairs when 100 state attorney generals get zero air-time.

Shuler can be completely right about the Alabama GOP and still be batshit crazy about other things.
