From the NY Post:Corrupt ex-politician Anthony Seminerio wants to be sprung from the slammer while he appeals his six-year stretch for influence peddling.
In court papers filed yesterday, his lawyer said the former Democratic assemblyman from Queens -- who's locked up at the same North Carolina prison complex as Ponzi monster Bernard Madoff -- "poses neither a flight risk nor a threat to the community."
The Manhattan federal-court filing also describes the corpulent crook as "an elderly man with significant health problems" who "always appeared in court when required to do so."
Seminerio, who pleaded guilty to pocketing bribes through a sham consulting firm, plans to base his appeal on a recent Supreme Court ruling that overturned former Enron CEO Jeffrey Skilling's conviction for "honest services" fraud.

Don't do the crime if you can't do the time. Keep whining, Tony.
Let him rot. His health was fine when he was taking kick-backs.
It's not about protecting the public or rehabilitation. It's about punishment for a crime. There's more than one purpose for jail time.
If they let me I would kill the fucker myself.
Give him one month off for every ten pounds he loses in prison. Let him out when he can walk a 20 min. mile on a treadmill.
Good to see all the brotherly love, Wow how soon we forget about the years of good that Tony did.Oh how you all loved when he got things done for you in Queens It sure does seem forgive and forget is not in the plans of all the NON SINNERS. Maybe Tonys grandkids would like to see him before its too late ! Thomas Hickey
