Mike Hubbard represented one on of the three branches of state government in his role as Speaker of the House in the Alabama State Legislature. He now represents one third of the Alabama state leadership currently at odds with the law, since leaders of all three branches have been under investigation. The governor may even face impeachment while Chief Justice Judge Roy Moore faces ethics complaints.
Hubbard is the first of the three to be convicted (on 12 of 23 ethics charges). His advice to his Republican colleagues still facing charges is, “Get a tattoo before you go to the slammer.”

“I faced
lots of criticism as a state legislator – people telling me I was no real
statesman and stuff like that, but now that I’m in the slammer, I can’t get any
respect here either. These thugs are telling me I am no real criminal. They say
I’m just two-bit politician. It is especially disheartening to see the disdain
my fellow inmates have for me. I really think that if I had a tattoo when they
hauled me into the slammer, I would have a better chance of being one of the
guys and getting a little more respect for my misdeeds.”
