As they say "Different strokes for different folks, and probation for Republicans.":mad:

Not to mention he doesn't have to show up until after his kid graduates in June. Why not what they do for everyone else: lock him up now and give him a day pass for the graduation?

from the WXYZ story referenced earlier "Federal prosecutors wanted to see Spivey do jail time and were hoping judge Victoria Roberts would sentence him to 3 years"
So, could have got 3 yrs, instead got 2 yrs... not a awfully big reduction in sentence. Bottom line is at least he'll do some time.
