Another Democrat with convictions. Twenty of them, in fact. The AP gets around to mentioning his party affiliation in paragraph 14.
A federal jury has convicted former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin on charges that he accepted bribes, free trips and other gratuities from contractors in exchange for helping them secure millions of dollars in city work while he was in office.
The jury on Wednesday convicted Nagin of 20 of 21 counts against him.
Nagin was indicted in January 2013 on charges he accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes and truckloads of free granite for his family business in exchange for promoting the interests of a local businessman.
He also was charged with accepting thousands of dollars in payoffs from another businessman for his help in securing city contracts.
Also known as “business as usual” in Democrat circles.

Business as usual but this guy got caught. That puts him in league with the Bozo from Chicago who tried to sell Obama's Senate seat.
Business as usual, yes but these Bozos don't make the grade so they're banished from the reservation, not for doing the nasty, but for the damn foolish fault of getting caught!
