Everyone wants to kick Conrad Black while he's down


Speaking of bringing out the knives, following on the heels of last week's convictions for fraud and obstruction of justice, it seems that everybody wants to be a part of the dogpile on disgraced media baron Conrad Black.

Not content to let the news media have all the fun, there's talk from the Canadian Government that his conviction will ruin his chances at regaining the Canadian citizenship that he renounced in order to accept a British peerage.

In addition, the wealth hating commies in the NDP have requested that he be stripped of the Order of Canada.

The news media, like a large, slobbery hound unwilling to relinquish an especially meaty bone, have also gone on ad nauseum about how his larger-than-life persona will work against him at both his sentencing and his appeal hearings.


Some days it just doesn't pay to self-consciously style yourself after the robber barons of the 19th century.

Conrad Black GUILTY! GUILTY! GUILTY!


But then, you all pretty much guessed that already.

Businessman Conrad Black has been found guilty on three mail fraud charges and one obstruction of justice charge, a Chicago courtroom was told Friday morning.
On the other nine charges, Black was found not guilty.
The jury's verdict came after 12 days of deliberation.
Verdicts in the cases of three Hollinger executives who were being tried alongside the Montreal-born media baron were still being read out.
