The Globe quotes Dan Kennedy as saying that, unlike race-baiter Bernard McGuirk, Tom Finneran has "some class and dignity." Carpundit retorts his definition of class does not include somebody who is an unrepentant, convicted felon.
Update: Kennedy in turn retorts (re-retorts?) that, while no fan of the ex-Mistah Speakah, he thought the charges against him were bogus and politically motivated:
Essentially, Finneran was given a choice: Plead guilty to trumped-up charges or go to prison. If you haven't done so before, I do urge you to read Harvey Silverglate's take, published in 2005.
