Alaska Again - #287

#287 BILL WEIMAR
ALASKAN BUSINESSMAN AND PRIVATE PRISONS MAGNATE

Florida may be the state for goofballs and New Jersey may be the one for corrupt politicians but Alaska might be the one for corruption in general. Take the case of Bill Weimar.

Weimar is one of those guys who started out fairly decent but then headed down the path toward the Dark Side, as GOP Cocksucker #200 (SHOOTER) would put it.

Weimar began as a democratic activist in the 60s and was a leader in the 'Ad Hoc' movement to try and take over the state Democratic party in the 70s.

But then he got chummy with the GOP Cocksuckers. Big mistake. Weimar had built a halfway house 'empire' and had generally kept his nose clean but the GOP Cocksucker influence was under the surface all the time, seething with the desire to enrich himself at the expense of his fellow man and the law.

Finally, it exploded. Weimar got a controlling interest in a private prison that was to be built in Alaska assuming the state legislature agreed. If it did, Weimar stood to get $5.5 million.

Now fully immersed in the evil waters of the Dark Side, Weimar became a backer of an unnamed GOP Cocksucker candidate for the state senate who would vote for the prison. (Although he wasn't named, this guy turned out to be former state Sen. Jerry Ward, a buddy of Weimar's.)

There was nothing wrong with Weimar supporting a GOP Cocksucker for the seat, but there sure was in the way he went about it. Weimar illegally contributed $20,000 to Ward's campaign. Weimar pled guilty to 'Conspiracy to Commit Honest Services Mail and Wire Fraud' and 'Structuring Financial Transactions,' because the feds had him by the short hairs. They had the bank records and they had him on tape with the candidate and a consultant.

Weimar got six months in the slammer, followed by six months of home detention and a $75,000 fine.

Best of all, Ward lost.

LOL
