Joe Ferriero: Not Guilty Y’all Got to Feel Me

Fred Driscoll — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 18:16:24 +0000

In a stunning defeat for political minded prosecutors everywhere, Joe Ferriero's conviction was vacated in the wake of a Supreme Court decision limiting the scope of the federal dishonest services law. Naturally, Republicans everywhere will bemoan that Democrats always get away with everything and oh how unfair that Joe Ferriero got off the hook. We call BS. Disagreeing with someone's political views is the LAST reason to wish someone be put in jail. Moreover, jail time handed out on such a vague statute hurts every freedom loving American. If Ferriero was guilty so is everyone else; no man has a right to throw the first stone on this one. It's a hard knock world and you know what? Sometimes the price of freedom is that people are declared innocent, especially when they are indicted under vague and elastic laws by headline seeking U.S. Attorneys. So without further ado, we dedicate this song out to Joe Ferriero. Good looks, sir.

Cops wanna knock me, D-A's wanna box me in But somehow I beat them charges like Rocky H to the izz O, V to the izz A Not guilty, Not guilty y'all got to feel me

Fred Driscoll — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 15:00:14 +0000

As a former governor, I once represented not only the political will of the people of THE STATE of NEW JERSEY, but was also an emissary of our culture as well. Today I report to you, my friends, a major blow to the culture. America’s Got Talent, a show judged by talentless hacks not fit to serve in a jury box, deemed that some jerk who could bend a frying pan into a cylinder and an old woman who whistles with her hands was more worthy to exhibit their talents in Hollywood than the spectacular Puerto Rican opera singer Carlos Aponte. ...

Governor Chris “The Situation” Christie’s Budget Doubles Down on Intellectual Dishonesty

Fred Driscoll — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 22:32:30 +0000

Last week THE STATE published an article entitled “Do as I Say Not as I Do Alive and Well in the Christie Administration” in reference to increased funding in this year's budget for the company where Christie ally William Palactucci is vice president, Community Education Centers. As the ramifications of the governor’s first budget begin to surface, we are doubling down on the claim that Christie is running an intellectually dishonest operation. ...

Fred Comments on Norcross’s Lonegan Donations, Manzo’s Innocent

Fred Driscoll — Sat, 22 May 2010 15:22:09 +0000

Ladies and gentlemen, as a former Governor of THE STATE of NEW JERSEY, let me express my happiness at hearing the disposition of the case against the Manzo brothers. Just this week a federal judge dropped the extortion charges against former Jersey City assemblyman Lou Manzo and his brother Ronald Manzo. These fine gentlemen were part of the “sting” operation that arrested 41 politicos and rabbis in the summer heat of the 2009 gubernatorial campaign...
