"You know, minimum security prison is no picnic. I had a client in there once. He said the trick is kick someone's ass the first day, or become somebody's bitch. Then everything will be all right. " - Rob Newhouse, Office Space
Justice has been served! Uber-corrupt Philadelphia City Councilman Rick Mariano (D) was convicted on eighteen counts of Bribery and related offenses yesterday, sparking widespread giggling amongst Philadelphia Police Department personnel. Mariano was immediately taken into custody, because the judge believed the defendant (Heh, that’s fun to write!) may be a threat to himself and others. It appeared that Mariano’s previous James Cagney impersonation atop the City Hall tower finally came back to bite him in the ass.
Equally corrupt Philadelphia Mayor John Street had the temerity to ask that Mariano relinquish his Council seat. Incredibly, Mariano will be able to retain his seat until his sentencing in late summer. Obviously, there is no provision in the Philadelphia City Charter that prohibits convicted felons from serving on City Council.
After sentencing, Mariano is expected to serve his time in Federal “Pound You In The Ass” Prison.
Let me be the ffffffffffffirst to say....HA HA HA!!!! What a frakin' dork wad!!!!! Nothing got done with him actively in his seat, so him having it a few more months really won't matter. Hope his knee heals soon...he'll be needing both in working order. (Couldn't resist)
ReplyDeleteOh...I watched Super Troopers...having seen allusions to it on your blog...funny & great!!!! Make sure you wear your bullet proof cup to work!
RT - "Dork wad?" Who are you, Napolean Dynamite??? I kid. Super Troopers is hysterical, especially when they are frakkin' with the pot heads.
ReplyDeleteNow, you go to sleep, meow!
yeah it's a shame nothing really came out over Wrong-Way Street's scandals, but hey this could be just the beginning of some change in the winds too.
ReplyDeleteMore corrupt pols in jail = smiley!
ReplyDeleteIs it they can't remove him from the counsel or they wont remove him from the counsel?
ReplyDeleteThe pot head scene provided a few flashbacks....no more said....I am a good girl now...nothing for fifteen years. :)
ReplyDeleteI loved when they were kidnapped. I'll never look at the Jersey state troopers I see everyday the way again.
Michael - I wish. Placing that toad under arrest is my life-long dream.
ReplyDeleteCUG - WORD!
