Former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell has been sentenced to two years in prison for taking money and gifts in exchange for promoting a dietary supplement while he was in office.
McDonnell, a Republican, was once on the short list to be Mitt Romney's vice presidential running mate. He was sentenced Tuesday after being convicted of 11 counts of corruption.
The former governor and his wife, Maureen, were found guilty in September. She was convicted of eight counts and will be sentenced in February.

Here's another fine example of our corrupt and biased justice system. The judge, James Spencer, danced around the true sentencing guidelines because McDonnell was "..a good and decent man..". Well, I've got a revelation for ya judge., so are a lot of the people you sentence to the maximum, you POS.
