"Thank you Sir may I have another!" Philadelphia bends over, grabs its ankles, and reelects Street as Mayor

[glenn1]

Exit polls showing voting being almost entirely on racial lines. Blacks 95% plus for Street, whites 90% plus for Katz. Looks like Philadelphia is going to continue its slide into the abyss.

Philly reelects Street by wide margin

I'm not familiar with Philly politics . . . what's the deal and what's your problem with majority rules?

haha, great title. yeah, the only solice is that he will probably go to prison for corruption before he finishes his term. oh well, DC had berry.

 

[BaliBabyDoc]

Why do you say "probably go to jail"? The only public info was an investigation of someone within the mayor's office or interacting with the mayor's office . . . I would call that a good football field away from . . . Marion "the beoctch set me up" Berry. Only time (and a proper investigation) will tell.

I lived in Philly. Let's say that the Streets = Boss Tweed

Man that's sad.

I can tell you that to get a (wire tap), you must show reasonable proof to the judge that the subject is somehow involved in a current criminal activity, and be either the subject, or closely connected to the subject of the investigation. So either the Mayor, or someone he is associated with at a close level, is a suspected criminal. That doesn't give me warm fuzzies either way.

I'm certainly willing to give the FBI the benefit of a doubt . . . I just don't agree with skipping to the penalty phase of an ongoing investigation.
