Tierney’s wife pleads guilty to tax charges in gambling racket (D-MA)

The wife of Democratic incumbent Congressman John F. Tierney pleaded guilty today to charges she helped cover up her brother’s $7 million ownership stake in a Caribbean gambling operation by falsifying his federal tax returns.

With her husband by her side - and former U.S. Attorney Donald K. Stern heading up her defense - custom jewelry designer Patrice Tierney, 59, appeared before U.S. District Court Judge William G. Young and copped to four counts of aiding and abetting the filing of false federal tax returns for the years 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008.

“I take full responsibility for what my part in this was,” said a soft-spoken and refined Patrice Tierney. She told the court she is being treated for depression and anxiety.

Wait a second--paying taxes is patriotic!  Plugs Biden says so!

Well, unless you're Charlie Rangel, Tim Geitner, John Kerry (Did you know he was in Vietnam?), and now Tierney.
