Guess That Party, Republican Edition
Headline: Former state rep sentenced for fraud. Lead:
    Former State Rep. Nathan Cooper, somber and tearful in federal court, was fined $6,000 and sentenced to 15 months in prison today for an immigration fraud scheme that derailed his political and legal careers.
Oh, yeah, sounds like the same old game, ainna? We don't get the party affiliation until paragraph 8.
    The Cape Girardeau Republican pleaded guilty in August to one count each of visa fraud and making a false statement to the Department of Labor.
Has AP paid attention to the right-leaning blogosphere's game, or has it always let the party affiliation fall into the lesser paragraphs on some stories?


 
To say Noggle, one first must be able to say the "Nah."
