Milton "Skip" Ohlsen, the renegade political operative whose dirty tricks campaign against Russ Carnahan brought about guilty pleas and resignations from Sen. Jeff Smith, D-St. Louis, and Rep. Steve Brown, D-St. Louis, received a ringing endorsement in a comment on the St. Louis Riverfront Times website today:
In a response to an article about the postponement of Ohlsen's sentencing on bank fraud and weapons charges, a reader notes, "I was locked up with him; he's a good guy."
Who knows if it's true or not, but somehow I find it doubtful that kind of testimonial will get Ohlsen the lighter sentence he is seeking.
