Should Alcatraz be re-opened?


With the entire Republican party attending to personal matters before being frog marched to prison, there will certainly be an acute shortage of cells to house them.

I propose re-opening the famous island penitentiary, and to make the residents feel at home, three sections should be renamed Cell Blocks G, O and P. Its best to start planning now, I believe.

3. Excellent Idea - The pic could be next year's RNC Christmas Card
I visited Alcatraz about 15 years ago; what a scary place. I think it would make a fine home for the criminal wing of the GOP, if, of course its big enough.

5. Like at a Zoo
Former House Leader erectus corruptus; near the verge of extinction due to overdose of graft and corruption and next, the tortorous vice (do not pet or feed.)

7. Having seen Alcatraz
I think that it's too nice for them. Send them to GITMO!

10. Exactly....
Justwhat I was going to say. No way should they have the view from the dining room you get at Alcatraz.

8. Great idea-- and considering their appreciation of all things military,
the former U.S. Fortress would be so homey.

Locked up, and staring at that dreaded lefty stronghold across the bay.

Brilliant!
