I Dare You To Try Me -#33

One hallmark of the GOP cocksuckers is that they think they haven't done anything wrong and that the justice system doesn't have the guts to put them on trial.

#33 RICHARD GOYETTE
ex-MAYOR CHICOPEE, MA

I written earlier that GOP cocksuckers think they are ringed with enemies and showed that mindset at work in a DUI case involving some good ol' boy in South Carolina. This dude claimed that even though he failed *three* sobriety tests at the scene, couldn't keep his pickup in the correct lane and pulled into the driveway of a total stranger to discuss politics, he wasn't drunk to the flipping gills. No way. He claimed this was a political arrest.

Now we have the same mindset at work in the case of Richard Goyette, the former mayor of Chicopee, Massachusetts. Althought the crime was different.

This time it wasn't drunk driving, this time it was *extortion.*

Goyette had made some enemies during his tenure, which is understandable. In life, you're going to make enemies. If you don't, the maxim goes, you aren't doing anything.

Thing is, not to many of us make the kind of enemies that wear wires and snitch for the FBI. Goyette at first maintains his innocence but eight months later he switched his plea five days before he is going to go to trial. He pleads guilty to two counts of extortion as the judge plays two tapes of him accepting two $5,000 bribes from local businessmen.

Goyette then tries to have his lawyer throw the evidence out, arguing it's entrapment. The court finds no entrapment. When that happens, Goyette pleads for mercy. He doesn't get any. What do respondents on two of the blogs mentioning the case say?

Good riddance.
