The guy was indicted for and pled guilty to a count of "conspiracy to travel in interstate commerce in aid of unlawful activities and to sponsor a dog an an animal fighting venture." Not really about killing a dog, per se, but don't tell anybody in PETA that, they'll throw five gallons of red paint on you. And still, everybody and their mother, even everybody in the media who are supposed to know better, truly believe this guy did 18 months for killing a few hundred distant cousins of Spuds McKenzie.

That, and next to nothing rhymes with "Eagles." I guess it was better than one of those morons wasting their day to hold up a sign that said, "Vick's with the Eagles, lock up your paralegals." Or, if Jeff Garcia ever returned to the Eagles, "Garcia's with Philly, you'd better lock up Billy." That sign was made only because they were too dumb to come up with something more clever.

And the pate is indigestible, no matter how many crackers they put on the platter! Unfortunately, that is exactly the kind of place that The Prince of Darkness & Rumsfeld would end up, even if Congress found the stones to lock em' up. Bummer.

H e did do 18mo., though, and Cheney and Rummy haven't done a day. If he cried every night in prison, I must assume he wasn't in the general pop.
