Another First For Women In PA

In an historic action today, Kathleen Kane, the former Attorney General of the state of Pennsylvania became the first female former Attorney General ordered to prison after being convicted and losing her appeal.  No doubt there will be celebrations across Pennsylvania as a result of this big step forward for women in the Keystone state.  No longer will corrupt officials in state government be only men.  Kane has broken into the glass cell block.

Seriously, here's a woman who was elected attorney general and who then leaked grand jury testimony and lied about it under oath.  The result was a criminal conviction and a sentence of 10 to 23 months in prison.  The PA Supreme Court just declined to hear her appeal, so her bail was revoked and she will start her prison term in the next day or so.
