Republican Claude A. Allen Pleads Guilty

You know Claude Allen?
Of course you don't, you gossip blog reader!
He's the black republican hand picked by G. W.
to handle U.S. domestic policy.
Anyway
In my very first blog post , I reported about this
ultra-conservative, right-wing, christian zealot
getting arrested for shoplifting at Target.
This fool was buying stuff, taking it to his car
and then taking the receipts back in,
getting the same stuff off the shelves and returning it!
$850.00 worth of stuff!
Old Claudy blamed it on stress and sleep deprivation.
Anyhoo,
he pleaded guilty, and got off with
“probation before judgment” -- a disposition available to first offenders.
Essentially, the judge acknowledges the guilty plea, but
keeps it off the defendant's criminal record.
