Carneal can't be executed as a minor. }>):-<@ The best that they can do is
25 yrs to life for each of the murder counts, and maybe add 15 yrs for each
of the attempted murder charges. Not to forget the additional time for
felonious discharge of a deadly weapon, and burglary.
As for Geraldo, he ought to be strung up as well for those tactics. They
nailed Connie Chung for coaxing the Speaker's mom to call Hillary a b**ch.
Especially when Chung LIED ABOUT THAT COMMENT NOT BEING ON TAPE/THE RECORD.

OTOH, Gore *is* such a loony tune, it probably wouldn't be long
before he was impeached too. His downfall would be from actually
having to talk and his extreme leftist leanings would really surface.
It's not like he has the sense to keep his mouth shut when anyone
else would, the guy is as dumb as a stump.
