#1 Blue State politicians and privileged academia have long been morally exempt from the well established norms of selective emancipation. The pair undoubtedly assumed they were in full and lawful compliance. In the South, we've long since learned to pick our own cotton.

#2 They did not get jail time because even the housekeeper voted democrat.

#3 Two misleading things for this article:

1) Harvard, in this case, is a town ~45 miles west of Boston. Therefore NOT the university of the same name.

2) Though the article says Boston, as I pointed out, it's not Boston by a fair piece.

#5 Probably figured they were exempt from having to pay the piper.

#6 Harvard (the town) has always been an odd place. And to work off Airandee's post, I suspect connections did have something to do with the agreement.

#7 Pappy is right about an "odd" place, but, there is a nice golf course there. ;^)

#8 Does it not seem excessively lenient? I wonder why?
