By now there are bound to be pools where the participants guess the hour (and maybe minute) when the Gov'nah formally throws in the towel.
Former Alabama GOP Guv'nah Harold Guy Hunt soon might not be the only one of his rank and party to face the scrutiny of the law in Alabama. Yes, Hunt got a pardon, and some folks think that means he was not guilty of anything, but his formal pardon states that he "paid compensation to his victims." "Victims" of what? There is said to be something like a "victimless crime," but I never heard of a "crimeless victim" in State or Federal jurisprudence.
Meanwhile, on the Democratic side, Don Siegelman languishes in prison despite the written entreaties from 113 former state attorneys general and numerous other respected legal experts.
"The New York Times, The Washington Post, Fox Business News, MSNBC, CBS, Harper's, Time Magazine, The American Trial Lawyers, Huffington Post, The Guardian, 113 former state Attorneys General, top Constitutional Law Professors, and many others say this case is erroneous and Don Siegelman never committed a crime."

Illinois probably holds the record for sending governors to jail. Alabama can't be very far behind. Louisiana is in the mix, I suppose, but that state has a much more laid-back perspective on crime in government. Edwin Edwards did time because he was far too brazen in his malfeasance.
The late Ray Blanton, Tennessee's Democratic gubernatorial convict, illegally trafficked in liquor licenses and had his story memorialized by Hollywood in "Marie," starring Sissy Spacek and, in his first film role, actor-politician Fred Thompson.

Will there some day be a film named "Rebekah"? Time will tell.
Sandra Bullock might be a possibility for the lead role.
