Rostenkowski gets away with it all

How do they get away with it? His 17-month sentence will, no doubt, dwindle to a 10-week hospital stay or some other soft layaway.

I suppose notch-baby benefits are now a dead issue, just as they were when Rostenkowski held sway in Washington. Of course, with our generation dead, dying and enfeebled by years of frustrated contention for benefits long denied, notch babies are no longer a force to consider in this administration. Clinton can thank Rosty for that and slip out of any responsibility on that score, something he is quite adept at. So goodnight, suckers, we never stood a chance.
