Picking up on The BRAD BLOG’s exclusive statement from the imprisoned former Governor Don Siegelman (D-AL) in regard to the alleged $20 million money laundering conspiracy by the currently-acquitted Tom DeLay, former convict Jack Abramoff, fugitive from justice Karl Rove and others to take down Alabama’s popular former Governor, I was joined by Siegelman’s son Joseph on this week’s KPFK/Pacifica Radio BradCast.
Not familiar with the outrageous prosecution and conviction of Siegelman? Or of what appears to be his blatantly stolen 2002 election (on a Diebold paper ballot electronic tabulator?) This is great episode to listen to, as it also includes a lot of background and a few clips from my interview with the former Governor just days before he was ordered back to federal prison last year.
But before you get outraged all over again, we started off the show with a rarely heard good news segment to help soften everything else a bit. Yes, there have been a number of things to be happy and/or encouraged by, of late…though admittedly it’s been very hard to notice.
Plus: Details on this weekend’s upcoming Los Angeles screening of the tremendous documentary Shadows of Liberty which I’ll be hosting for KPFK (I’m also briefly in the film, discussing the Sibel Edmonds story — if you’re in or near L.A., please come on out Saturday and say hey!); More on CA’s terrible SB 360 bill that will end all federal testing of e-voting systems in the state (and some worse stuff too); and, of course a visit from Desi Doyen with the latest Green News Report.
Enjoy! This is a good one!

Exceptionally well done, Brad. You brought all the issues full circle.

It’s all going according to plan.
