Howie Carr Show: Restitution is a great word — it means returning some money or other valuables that were lost or stolen to its rightful owner.
It’s a feel-good word most often spoken in courtrooms, when a judge orders a convicted scammer or embezzler or robber to make “restitution” to his victims.
When you read “restitution,” you may feel good for a moment. But then you get to the next paragraph and you learn that the perp, after stealing maybe $30 million, is indigent, and thus will only be required to pay back the victims for the rest of his crooked life at the rate of, say, $25 a month.
But this is that rare story about restitution in which the scammers actually do give the money back, or at least some of it.
C’mon down, failed Gov. Charlie Baker and his equally bust-out sidekick, Lt. Gov. Karyn “Pay to Play” Polito.
In November, claiming that they were planning to run for re-election, the Bonnie and Clyde of Massachusetts politics relieved hundreds of assorted marks of a total of more than $481,000 in campaign contributions.
Then, as dawn broke on Dec. 1, they announced that, on second thought, they were throwing in the towel.
The fine folks weren’t democrats by any chance were they?
I earn about a hundred dollars a day welding.
I know….it ain’t much, but I bet it’s more than these assholes make^^^^^^^
Charlie Baker, called Charlie Parker on occasion because Biden calls him that, is a poor excuse for a Republican.
Most of them are Dirty Dems.
Mass. is full of dirty politicians.
Remember it’s where Whitey Bulger and the crooked FBI agents he was paying off were. Bulger’s brother was Mass. Speaker of the House and scammed millions.
It’s like tradition in Mass. to have crooked politicians and corruption.
All these people (pence) that announce their campaigns…..for office that don’t have a snowballs chance in hell of being elected……
are in it scamming for money from citizens and corporations that they can steal and use later…..It’s f’ing scam…..they know it and we’re just late in catching on.
Dennis Kucinich ran for president a few times refusing to throw in the towel until the bitter end. This worthless, little federal tit-sucking parasite never had a snowballs chance in hell of being elected either, yet that didn’t stop him from collecting contributions that I don’t think ever got refunded.
