Doug Burgum had some words of wisdom this morning on CNN [View all]

The Secretary of the Interior was asked about the possible ten year prison sentence for the former Olympian accused by the administration of vandalizing the reflecting pool.

He said that just because someone is a "former something" doesn't mean they can escape the law.

Hmmm........ Something tells me that Doug would make an exception for one "former something", however.
