On the record, I would really have liked to kick Madoff in the head. Again, a person who has done something so absurdly wrong that I find it ridiculous that a person going away for ecstacy or pot will serve much longer that he ever will.
As Office Space said, I hope Madoff will at least serve some time in a federal "pound me in the ass prison", but I know that's not going to happen. He'll get decent bread and meat, carouse with other rich criminals, and when he gets out, there will be at least one or two friends with a couple mille to lend him while he gets on his feet.
Trump emerged from bankrupcty because he's good trash TV. Martha Stewart got out of prison with a poncho and a going away cake from Meg Scott Phipps. Oh, and a new contract.
