This is it. This is the
story that epitomizes Republican Family Values.
The Boston Herald is reporting that a man convicted of plotting his wife's murder has told the judge it is her fault.
Here are the terrible things she did.
``Like an ivory tower princess, her delusional attitude seemed to be that it was my duty, my obligation, my purpose, alone, to work off these debts she created,'' Harold Stonier said in a 50-page filing in federal court in Boston, seeking leniency as he awaits sentencing.
Stonier, who was caught on tape plotting various scenarios for his wife's murder, called her a ``spiteful, conniving, vengeful lunatic who creates her own distortion of reality.'' He claimed his wife deprived him of basic comforts such as laundry and marital intimacy, ignored his demands to prepare weekly menus for his approval, and played the TV loud in their bedroom at night, forcing him to watch the women-oriented ``Oxygen Channel."
So, why should the judge be so lenient?
Stonier, 45, also cited his 22 years in the military and his work record, including managing a $10 million General Dynamics project in Qatar: ``Such ambition, drive, and dedication epitomize the American work ethic and reflect an extraordinary employment history.''
Ohhhhhh ok. Former military, then military merc, I mean contracter in the Middle East. Sure, good guy. Sounds just like one of Cheney's pals.
