30 June 2006Judge Thompson gets hard timeRetired District Judge Donald Thompson has been sentenced to four years behind bars and fined $40,000 for various crimes against whatever public decency exists in an Oklahoma courtroom. Dave at Garfield Ridge sums it up nicely:
If a man can't use a vacuum-sealed device to inspire an erection in the comfort of his own place of business, this is truly a sad day for us all. I mean, c'mon he was behind a bench! Aside from the pumping sound, and the whimsical look of detached euphoria on his face, this judge wasn't bothering anybody with his penis inserted into a plastic tube while supervising his courtroom. Except, you know, the defendants' rights to a fair trial. But who cares about them anyway?
That's what I need around here: some detached euphoria. (Previous coverage here, here, here, here, here, and here.) Posted at 7:44 AM to Soonerland"Judge Thompson gets hard time" Groan. Posted by: Bobbert at 10:32 AM on 30 June 2006 |
