Corrupt Camden Pol Sloan El has a plan to head the Democratic Party

I was shocked to read today about a former Camden City Councilman who was sent to prison for corruption. What did he do(from AP)?

Former Camden City Councilman Ali Sloan El is out of prison after serving 15 months in federal prison.

Sloan El was sentenced to 20 months after he was convicted of taking $36,000 in bribes from an FBI agent two years ago.

The AP story goes on to say how the poor politician found his incarceration to be less than a country club:

Sloan El says the minimum security prison in South Carolina where he served his time had "terrible food, terrible library, terrible health care, no gym and a tyrant in charge."

I suppose we are all supposed to pity a politician who abuses the public trust and actually gets caught and has to pay the price. But this is New Jersey after all and Mr Sloan isn't going to let a felony corruption conviction hold him back. While he can't hold office, he can sure do something else for the Democratic Party:

Sloan El, who is barred from elected office, says he hopes to head Camden's Democratic Party within three years.

And you know what? I bet he actually does. And noone will think that anything is wrong with that.
