When she said, "Stupid is as stupid does!"
The (now former) Mayor of Racine, Wisconsin, father of two adult daughters (and recently divorced - duh!), was awaiting sentencing for child sex crimes. In brief, he was using the Internet to lure teen age girls for sexual purpose, when he got caught in a police sting. Sentences up to twenty-seven years could have been imposed.
The Judge in the case had privately decided to hand down a sentence of ten years supervised probation. And so where does Mrs Gump's saying come into play, you ask?
Two weeks before sentencing, the convicted Mayor went to a local department store and purchased 9 bras and panties appropriate in size for a child, size 5 and 32B.
The Prosecutor pinned them to poster boards and presented them at the sentencing hearing.
The Judge had a 're-think' and now the ex-Mayor will be residing at the tax payers expense for two consecutive three year terms.
Stupid is as Stupid does, indeed!!
