“deeply saddened”?! Um…I guess I’m stuck in gear somewhere between deeply outraged and deeply concerned that a pedophile was working as a US Attorney. Especially when a sicko can keep his job while a non-Bushie…not so much. *gags*

This guy is JUST SICK! Even the prison system is too good for him! Just the thought that he had the intent to do something like this is more than proverted! I say electrocute as soon as possible, there is no telling how many children he has preyed upon or may prey upon if he is not put away or put down permanently!
