Title: Walpin-Gate
Post by: guido911 on June 18, 2009, 11:11:28 AM
I was hesitant to post about Obama's decision to fire an IG that had been investigating a friend of Obama for misuse of public funds. When I heard that Obama's stated reason had changed from "loss of confidence" to essentially calling him senile, then learned that other IG's had been fired or reigned in, now I think it's an issue. Here's Glenn Beck performing a "senile" test on Walpin (yes I know it's that evil Glenn Beck):

You know Beck is going to make $18mm this year, don't you?

I seem to recall that some wealth envy folks here pointed that out.

How much are you going to make this year representing those evil insurance companies who are harming consumers every day?  It's too much and you aren't paying enough taxes no matter what the answer is.

Better than playing with yourself like you often do on posts here.

Like this guy Conman:

JUNE 18--Nabbed yesterday for indecent exposure, a Memphis man offered cops a unique explanation for his alleged criminal behavior. Augustus Hudgins, 41, was arrested after witnesses reported seeing him "masturbating on the bench in Court Square," according to the below police affidavit. When questioned by cops, Hudgins denied fondling himself, explaining instead that he was "giving [his] penis some air." Despite that claim, Hudgins was booked into the Shelby County jail, where the mug shot at right was snapped.

It's hit the fan. Walpin sues for wrongful termination. Discovery could get interesting:
