Tyco Raiders, Unjust Desserts?

When former Tyco chiefs Dennis Kozlowski* and Mark Swartz were sentenced yesterday to between eight and 25 years in prison for looting Tyco of more than $150 million – spontaneous donkey fucking broke out as celebrators lined the streets cutting up gas cards and talking about the end of the world. That is until the readers among them perused the sentence again. Eight and 25 years? That’s a pretty flexible sentence. Smart money would be on the eight.

Mr. Kozlowski had earlier asked the judge to "please be as lenient as possible".

Looks like your wish was granted, Dennis. In a year or two you can press for an ankle bracelet, and work out a deal from lockdown with NBC who still have Monday, Tuesday, and Friday, open for new Apprentice-branded shows. Wednesday is Martha’s day and Thursday is Trump’s day – will you listen NBC? -- will you hear your rabid audience of viewers who don’t like seeing you in last place in the ratings. The Apprentice: Dennis, on Monday nights would be a strong candidate against the encroaching advances of the sturdy yet head-scratching Nanny 911.

*Not to be confused with Mark.
