All Is Forgiven
Bridgeport, Connecticut, has to be the most forgiving city in America.
Last night, they re-elected Mayor Joe Ganim fresh from his seven year stint in federal prison for … embezzling taxpayer money from the last time he was mayor. Not only that, the guy got 59% of the vote.
“I am committed to moving Bridgeport forward and, as I have said, I will continue to put the best interests of the community first,” Malloy said in a statement on Tuesday.
Voters elected him five times starting back in the 1990s, before he served seven years behind bars.
He’s a Democrat. Everybody keep your fingers crossed.
And in related news, Kentucky elected a crazzzybutt Republican for governor. Most shocking of all, people are acting surprised about it.
