From Fox News:
PINE RIDGE, S.D. — In July 1999, President Bill Clinton honored Geraldine Blue Bird for taking in anyone who needed a meal or a place to stay, despite her own poverty.
Twenty-eight adults and children lived in her four-room, dilapidated house and in a trailer out back when Clinton's presidential visit made her a symbol of conditions on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, one of the nation's poorest areas.
On Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Karen Schreier in Rapid City sentenced Blue Bird, 51, to what might be a life prison sentence — 34 years — for being a leader in another dire reality of this place where unemployment hovers near 80 percent: drug dealing.
A lot of people associated with the Clintons have ended up behind bars. I wonder why that is?
