(Janklow) has resigned from Congress, effective as of today, just a year after becoming South Dakota's sole member of the U.S. House.

On Thursday, a judge will sentence Janklow, 64, on convictions of second-degree manslaughter, reckless driving, speeding and running a stop sign for an Aug. 16 accident that killed motorcyclist Randy Scott of Hardwick, Minn., on a rural eastern South Dakota highway.

Janklow could get up to 10 years in prison on the manslaughter conviction and up to 14 months in jail on the other convictions. But whatever the legal penalty, his time as a public servant is over.


-----
Led South Dakota: As governor, Janklow persuaded the Legislature to get rid of interest-rate limits to attract Citibank and other credit-card banks to South Dakota, bought tracks to save rail service in most of the state, and sold Missouri River water to a company that sought unsuccessfully to use it to pump Wyoming coal dust to southern states.

He closed a state university campus and turned it into a prison.

4. If he acts out ....

for example, throw his food......They'll make his meals as a loaf.

What is a loaf? Thats when all of your meal items are put into a blender and placed/served in the shape of a meatloaf mound, on a paper towel. I don't thing even plastic ware is offered.

A loaf includes all food....example. hot dog, French fries, milk or cool-aide, bread etc.....into a pile.


Typically an inmate will tolerate this fro no more than 72 hours....they beg for forgiveness.

5. Every time a Republican is hounded from office, another gay angel

gets his wings.

That's right, Zuzu, that's right!

6. Here, I always thought he was a Dem...

I knew there was some confusion there.... I always felt disloyal thinking that he was an evil bastard... Now I have two reasons to think that!

BTW..."HI" Eric in MN...nice to see other MN Dems out there!

7. What RealP predicts

Like a broken trance, Wild Bill Janklow cleaning out his desk will start a progression of Republican criminals into the houses of detention they worked so fanatically to build.
