Rowland a Freebird
Former Connecticut governor John Rowland has been released from jail after serving more than 10 months on corruption charges. His lieutenant governor, Jodi Rell, took over when he was ousted in 2004 and is running for re-election this year.
He now gets fitted with an electronic bracelet for four months (a la Martha Stewart), and has to perform 300 hours of community service.
How the mighty have fallen. I thought Rowland was a good governor and had a bright future. He spoiled it by getting greedy and having people do him favors. It's too bad.
I often wonder what people like him do after they are in prison for high-profile cases. It's not like Martha Stewart, who had a media and retail empire to return to. Politics were his life. What's next?
Still, he has served his time and I wish him the best.

Didn't I see an A&E show about him?
