RALEIGH, N.C. -- Former North Carolina House Speaker Jim Black pleaded guilty Thursday to accepting nearly $30,000 from three chiropractors while pushing for legislation they supported.

One day after resigning from the House, a somber Black appeared in a federal courtroom to plead guilty to a single count of accepting things of value in connection with the business of state government. The charge carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison and a fine of $250,000.

Another corrupt Democrat. He gave over 50G to Mike Decker, a republican, to switch parties a while back, thereby tipping the majority in favor of the Democrats and then scoring the Speaker's position.

The man has balls!
