Alabama: How not to Poin

Best sign I have seen at a college football game: "When I bang my sister I yell Roll Tide!"

 

What happens in Vegas ... doesn't get reimbursed until three days after news of the affair breaks wide open.

Gov. Robert Bentley, Rebekah Mason flew to Vegas, attended Celine Dion show

 

Yeah, everytime I think it can't get any stupider... and he reimburses the state for it three days after the affair went public. Celene Fucking Dion. Gawd.

 

Gold, Jerry.

House speaker probably wishes he'd pushed harder to get those new prisons built this session.

Alabama House Speaker Mike Hubbard convicted on 12 counts

 

Good. I hope they put him under the jail. The lege can now return to its normal level of venal dysfunction, instead of the recent absolute paralysis. Each of the 23 charges was good for two to twenty years, plus he's automatically booted out of the lege and the speaker's chair. He was nearly unanimously re-elected speaker of the house with 23 felony ethics charges pending, including Democrat votes. Everyone was scared to vote against the powerful and vindictive SOB.

That's one down. The House is meeting regarding impeachment rules for Gov. Bentley, and Roy Moore will probably get the boot again from the Judicial Overwatch. Government is here is so friggin' bad.

About the same time as that trip to Vegas he took her on, he also took her to a National Governor's dinner at the White House. The Gov is kinda dim, or more properly all the blood had drained to the little head. Or both.

 

The prisons were an $800m no-bid deal, and the winner would design and build them from one end to the other as opposed to various companies getting a piece of it. There's no telling how much money was going to fall off the truck on the way to getting those built. The same lawyer who set up the Gov's 401(c)4 girlfriend fund was also the lead guy on the prisons. He's also in charge of a big resort hotel that the state is now building in a state park on the gulf with money from the gulf oil spill settlement. I suspect that he, the gov, and his bimbo all are getting a taste there. OTOH, the FBI, the IRS, the Postal Inspectors, plus the state ethics office are all looking at the governor's affairs. I wouldn't be surprised to see a RICO case come out of it, and at the least he's up the proverbial tributary without any visible means of propulsion.

 

Shit's getting real in the Gump.
