Larry Langford Gets 15 Years.

Larry Langford is the former mayor of Birmingham. During his reign he claimed prayer and Bibles were the best way to combat the rising crime rate in his city. Accordingly he ordered thousands of Bibles and sack-cloths, so people could be properly attired when they prayed.

It was no surprise to many when Langford was later arrested for bribery and money laundering. He has now been sentenced to 15 years for 60 counts of fraud, bribery and money laundering. If only he’d remembered to save a Bible and a sackcloth for himself he might not be in this mess.

    I do so love it when religious bigots get nice long prison sentences.
