the ironic thing is that if she'd just stuck the bribe in her purse, this wouldn't have made the news.

Mass. Pol Accused of Stuffing Bra With Bribes
State Senator Charged With Taking $23,000 in Bribes in Sting Operation

An embattled Massachusetts state senator appeared in a federal courtroom today charged with taking $23,500 in bribes, including cash that she stuffed into her bra during a meeting at a tony Boston restaurant that was secretly videotaped by an undercover FBI agent, federal prosecutors said.

Democratic state Sen. Dianne Wilkerson faces 40 years in prison after federal prosecutors outlined accusations that she accepted the bribes over an 18-month period in a money-for-legislative influence sting operation, prosecutors said. She had $6,000 in cash in her purse when she was arrested at her Roxbury home by nearly two dozen law enforcement officials, prosecutors said.

3. It took 2 dozen officers to take her down?

How big is this lady anyway?

Seriously though, politicians who take bribes are lowlifes. Give her the max.

4. Or if she said she won the bribe money in a poker game

From personally witnessing how corruption works with city officials and elected ones in getting city contracts. The contractor holds a poker game, invites the city officials to play, lets them win about $5k or more (depending on the dollar amount of the contract) and the contract is guaranteed. Unless a competitor allows them to win more, even after they took the first $5k.
