Rinehart wrap-up (perhaps finally)
The embattled and controversial [Brent] Rinehart received only 21 percent of the vote and failed to make a runoff in the Republican primary.
“Too many hurdles. Mountain too high. Too many battles,” Rinehart said. “You hope throughout everything that the public sees and understands and so you do your best, and I’ve done my best.”
In case you were looking for a definition of “best”:
Former Oklahoma County Commissioner Brent Rinehart pleaded guilty today to a misdemeanor count of accepting a campaign contribution in excess of $5,000.
He was given a three year deferred sentence. He also was fined $1,000.
Rinehart was charged with multiple felonies, including money laundering and fraud related to his 2004 campaign finances.
Apparently boiling in oil wasn’t even considered. Pity.
