The wheels of justice grind slowly, relentlessly, painfully. Like when you're trying to digest a Ben's chilicheese halfsmoke. And I use the term "digest" loosly. Kinda like your stools after you've had a Taco Bell chilito.

On September 15, 2008, Harriette Walters pleaded guilty to federal charges related to the theft of over $48 million of District of Columbia funds. Has this bitch been sentenced yet???

Again I ask: what was Tony "The Tiger" Williams doing during his two-term tenure as mayor? Hell, what was he doing when he was CFO under Barry? Didn't he make his reputation cleaning-up all these financial discrepancies?

The report on the Walters scandal is not pleasant reading. Its depiction of the OCFO (Office of the Chief Financial Officer) is not pretty, full of non-performance and laxity that could be ascribed to any number of DC agencies, and all too familiar for those of us who deal with District government on a regular basis. Too many people either looked the other way, or just didn't have the gumption to look into things that appeared a little "off." Lots of seat-warming and paycheck collecting, and not much else, in other words.
