I've always wanted to know who pays for the lobotomy politicians get. You suppose this putz really thinks criminals buy ammo in stores or pay taxes?
If he is a Maryland politician (or most anywhere else) he knows exactly how criminals operate, because he is one.
Anyone remember Spiro Agnew?
When he was running for USVP my boss (in Texas) asked me, "You are from Maryland, do you know of Spiro Agnew?"
I said, "Yes he's a crook".
"You know him?"
"No not personally but if he's a Maryland politician then he is a low life criminal."
Actually he was worse than I thought. He was still taking bribes when he was US VP.
During his fifth year as Vice President of the United States, in the late summer of 1973, Agnew was under investigation by the United States Attorney's office in Baltimore, Maryland, on charges of extortion, tax fraud, bribery and conspiracy. In October, he was formally charged with having accepted bribes totaling more than $100,000, while holding office as Baltimore County Executive, Governor of Maryland, and Vice President of the United States. On October 10, 1973, Agnew was allowed to plead no contest to a single charge that he had failed to report $29,500 of income received in 1967, with the condition that he resign the office of Vice President. (you know you would be given that kind of break instead of being sent to jail)
Agnew is the only Vice President in United States history to resign because of criminal charges. Ten years after leaving office, in January 1983, Agnew paid the state of Maryland nearly $270,000 as a result of a civil suit that stemmed from the bribery allegations.
