Former GOP super-lobbyist Jack Abramoff was sentenced Thursday to an additional 48 months in prison for conspiring to corrupt public officials and tax evasion. Combined with a sentence Abramoff is already serving for a Florida fraud conviction, the new sentence means he'll be in prison until September 2012, minus time off for good behavior.
Abramoff Sentenced To Four More Years
Apparently, the judge tacked on an additional nine months:
While acknowledging that Abramoff's assistance had helped unwind a wide-ranging corruption scandal, Huvelle said that his criminal actions "impacted seriously the public's confidence in the government," and hat he must be punished for them.

If that was a crime, Abramoff would have quite a few colleagues to visit during exercise periods. Still, he deserves all the bad karma that comes his way for his part in corrupting our government.

"Four more years...four more years..." The chant heard round the DOJ.
Bahahahahaha.
They'd have plenty of work to do, assuming they were allowed to do it.
