Which Egyptians was he working for?

The reptilians who built the pyramids? Or the goofy Arabs?

Former US Senator Bob Menendez has been sentenced to 11 years in prison on bribery and corruption charges, after being found guilty of accepting cash and gold bars and acting as an illegal agent for the Egyptian government.

The New Jersey Democrat was convicted last July and resigned from the Senate a month later rather than face expulsion. He previously chaired the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, where he was known for championing stringent sanctions on Russia, among other policies.

“The public cannot be led to the belief that you can get away with bribery, fraud, and betrayal,” US District Judge Sidney Stein said on Wednesday. “I don’t know what led you to this,” Stein added. “You’ll have to try to figure that out yourself over time.”

Prosecutors had sought at least 15 years in prison, along with millions of dollars in forfeitures and fines, arguing that such penalties were necessary “to provide just punishment for this extraordinary abuse of power and betrayal of public trust.”

Menendez is the first US senator convicted of acting as an agent of a foreign government.

“For someone who spent his entire life in public service, every day I’m awake is a punishment,” the former lawmaker told the court.

Things just got a lot worse for Menendez, because I just filed a lawsuit for copyright infringement for him using my slogan “every day I’m awake is a punishment.”

I will not stand by idle while my copyrighted slogans are flagrantly abused by perverts.

Along with gold bars, Menendez also demanded that he be paid in crates of unadulterated Hostess treats.

The court found that he was specifically amenable to large bribes of Ding Dongs, with the judge scolding him: “Human beings in the Sudan were starving while you scarfed down Ding Dongs like there was no tomorrow.”
