Do you really think she was not picked gor Lt. Gov for that very reason? I do. They knew she could be easily bought off. Now that her faults are in the open pick the next most shady degenerate.

Sadly another week and another black politician caught in a scandal. Detroit mayor, Jesse Jackson Jr , Ex Mayor of New Orleans Nagin and now this lady. The sudden resignation is an indication that she is going to be arrested soon.

I don’t understand …

Ronald Reagan once represented GE, which pays no taxes in the U.S. through racket- I mean “innovative accounting” (and a close working relationship with the chief executive).

Eric Holder’s firm represented Guantanamo Bay inmates.

Nearly everyone Clinton ever worked with ended up in jail.

But she had to resign because her PR firm once represented an internet café that got involved in racketeering?

Now both the Governor and Lt Governor have fraudulent pasts. Neither one of them should be in office. Perhaps if Florida voters start making better choices I can return.

With all do respect “idiamin-palin,” I do not think race has anything to do with this. Carroll seems to be resigning in respect of her position. Any investigation of this sort would only distract from her function.

If race is an issue, it should be shameful that this person stands as the only state elected african american.

This is truly a shame for a southern state like Florida. Unbelievable.

Good to have these crooks arrested. Now maybe the money can go to veterans as it should have. That is if the state and/or federal government doesn’t confiscate it all.

If this is true, it is beyond disgusting. The bogus charity is bad enough, but if the FL Lt. Gov. was really involved, that’s even worse.

the long arm of the law (er i mean the long arm of crime) reaches into places we all would rather not consider. and those people that benefited from Madoff’s Ponzi scheme simply kept their mouth shut, all while receiving ‘money for nothing, and the chicks are free’ as well. shysters, all of them! america is a BIG SINK HOLE of corruption and deceit.
