And now it only remains to be seen if for once the Democrats will have the guts to fight for one of their own. Don Siegelman appears to have been railroaded for the heinous crime of being a successful Democrat in an otherwise Republican state. Who knew this was a crime? Governor Brian Sweitzer of Montana had better watch out!

I am happy for Siegelman and his family and hope that he will finally get justice. Not from the Justice Department of course because Mukasey isn't about justice, he's about covering Republican ... butts.

My gripe, from the minute I heard about this story was where are the Democrats? Where are the Democrats when one of their own is being railroaded into jail? We know they sit idly by and wring their dainty hands when one of their own is pummeled mercilessly in the media. They sigh and cringe when one of their own is tarred with lies and innuendo. They knuckle under to an administration with an approval rate in the basement. No wonder the Republicans are able to paint them as weaklings; they are. Anyone that won't fight for their own sure as hell can't be trusted to fight for me and mine.  

Dan Siegelman probably wonders why his party didn't care if he sat in prison until 60 Minutes made it public and Dan Abrams showed more guts and integrity than the  Democratic Party.
