I pumped my fist in the air at the news federal prosecutors gave notice they wanted to appeal the powder puff sentence U.S. District Judge Ronald L. Buckwalter gave to convicted former state Sen. Vincent Fumo.

Good for the feds. They should appeal the sentence. It’s a bad joke. Anyone who isn’t a friend of Fumo’s or a white-collar lawyer looking to use the sentence down the road to soften the jail time for a future client knows it.
