Michael Sohn (R-DirtyCrook, Conn.)
Claims to fame: Campaign manager for ex-Rep. Chris Shays (R-Conn.); “rising star on the main stage of the Republican Party“; convicted embezzler; admitted dopehead
Moral apex: Stole more than $25,000 from Shays’ campaign fund “and used it to pay for limos, trips, gambling and even a diamond engagement ring” (WTNH) worth $13,000, as well as “$2,472.27 on car repairs; $200 on home heating oil; $359.90 on theater tickets; $1,922.14 on a Hilton Head vacation; $1,017.60 for a bed; $477.15 for bedroom and bathroom furnishings; $668 on limousines; and $618.80 on airline tickets … $152 … at Lord & Taylor, $614.59 at a New York hotel and $1,072.95 for tickets to a Red Sox-Yankees game in New York … [and $1,950] to make a donation to his temple.” (Hartford Courant)
Worse: By all accounts, Sohn was a close friend to his boss, considered one of the Shays family.
Twinkie defense: Blames his actions on marijuana and cocaine abuse.
Sentence: Thirty-seven months in federal prison.
We wonder: Will his wife want to stay married a jailbird who seduced her with a hot rock?
Suggested Bible reading for Mr. Sohn:
As the thief is ashamed when he is found, so is the house of Israel ashamed; they, their kings, their princes, and their priests, and their prophets.— Jeremiah 2:26
