MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- Former state Sen. John Ford, once among Tennessee's most powerful lawmakers, was sentenced Tuesday to 5 1/2 years in prison for bribery.
5 1/2 years? That seems harsh. I mean, it's not like he disclosed the name of an undercover CIA operative.

Oh, wait. He's a Democrat. Never mind.
