Alvin Greene for President!

 Go, Alvin! GO!

---

In an interview outside a Columbia, S.C. courthouse – where he was being tried for allegedly showing pornographic material to a college-aged girl – Greene said he would sue the Columbia Free-Times newspaper if he read an account of the legal proceedings.
Instead Greene suggested the media focus on his presidential potential before claiming to be the "greatest person ever."
“I’m the next president,” Greene said. “I’ll be 35 … just before November, so I was born to be president. I’m the man. I’m the man. I’m the man. Greene’s the man. I’m the man. I’m the greatest person ever. I was born to be president. I’m the man, I’m the greatest individual ever.”
According the Free-Times account, Greene's lawyers were supposed to show to court at 9:30 a.m. and still had not arrived at the court by 2:30 p.m. Greene indicated he wanted to plead "not guilty" to the charges as well as a jury trial, which Assistant Solicitor Andrew Rogers said would not begin until after the holidays.

Why is his defense team not using an insanity plea?
Maybe it’s because he’s completely serious. Hey, he managed to not only get on the ballot for the Democrat US Senate primary, he won the nomination.  Handily.
Who’s to say he couldn’t put together a national network of fundraisers, caucus goers and primary voters and make a serious run at Obama in the 2012 primary?
Heh…

Alvin Greene indicted on felony obscenity charges

Well, damn.  And I was really, really looking forward to the Demint – Greene senatorial debates.  They were shaping up to be the biggest political event since the Lincoln – Douglass showdowns in Illinois a few years back.

But it looks like Greene may have to debate Demint from a jail cell, since a South Carolina handed down a felony obscenity indictment against the circus candidate of the cycle:

South Carolina Democrat Alvin Greene, who prompted widespread speculation about his Senate candidacy after an upset win in the state's primary, was charged today with showing pornography to a college student.

Greene, who won 59% of the Democratic primary vote on June 8 despite having not done any traditional campaigning or fundraising, was arrested in November for allegedly showing obscene photos to a student in a University of South Carolina computer lab.

A grand jury in Richland County, S.C., indicted Greene on one felony charge of disseminating, procuring or promoting obscenity as well as a misdemeanor charge of communicating obscene materials to a person without consent, according to a statement from the county solicitor's office.

GateWay Pundit: “I suppose you have to hand it to Greene. He’s a Democrat in a hurry. After all, most Democrats have the good sense to wait until they are elected before getting indicted. THIS guy is ahead of the usual Democrat curve!”

Gimme some feedback in the comments.
