The republican Mayor wept quietly in the corridor of the courthouse

[BOSSHOG]

Brent Warr, the republican Mayor of Gulfport Mississippi has been charged with fraud relative to Hurricane Katrina relief. Fraud for personal gain.

http://www.sunherald.com/pageone/story/1101092.html

Charges include:

Conspiracy, Fraud, False Statements, Theft of Federal Funds, Wire Fraud and Mail Fraud.

Check out that moderate republican home. I guess its made of cloth.

As any conservative from sea to shining sea would tell you, Mississippi republican politicians did a heckuva job after Katrina.

1. Lawlessness doesn't really "work" when you get that far down

the political food chain. He was just stupid to think that it might.

2. Weep, weep for yourself you soulless grasping monster.

Anyone who profited off of tragedy and misery deserves far worse than they will get. Let him rot in prison.

12. Domestic Terrorism.

Why not? Give me one good reason why repukes shouldn't be yelling "Un-American" at the top of their lungs at this guy?

[SidneyCarton]

14. I know, but he's one of their own...

and while there is no honor among thieves, in this case the pointing of one finger and having three pointed back at them becomes all too obvious.

3. Typical Republicans.

Out for their own best interests, and they don't care who they hurt along the way. Pathetic. :(

[BOSSHOG]

4. But

they say they are patriotic and love our country. In fact, you have to be a republican to love our country

20. Sorry, BOSSHOG. In the photo both were walking away from the camera.

I did not see their flag pins.

:rofl:

6. huh?????

Owen said after the hearing that the indictment has no relation to Warr’s job as mayor, which he will continue to perform as the municipal election season approaches. Warr said later in the day that he still plans to seek re-election

[BOSSHOG]

9. I think I got the answer.

His Lord has forgiven him.

[BrklynLiberal]

19. Isn't it amazing how they seem to find the Lord right AFTER they are caught?

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Canuckistanian]

26. And the Lord always manages to forgive them

Strange, I've never heard of a case where the Lord DOESN'T forgive them.

[Selatius]

21. His power lust is strong, I guess. nt

[Ikonoklast]

7. My heart weeps for him.

The bastard is crying because he GOT CAUGHT.

Republican thieves think everything that ain't nailed down should go into their pockets.

8. I hear David Vitter has an extra seat on his plane down to Gitmo.

I'm sure they could free up an accomodation for Mr. Warr down there!

[BOSSHOG]

11. Diaper Dave is working ovretime to

"appeal" to his neanderthal base as he is up for reelection in 2010. i think the D's are gonna have fun with his race.

[MADem]

10. Why not bawl loudly like a big old baby? I hope the judge gives him something to cry about! nt

[DCKit]

13. Sadness or embarrassment - at getting caught.

It's hard to tell with them.

[dixiegrrrrl]

15. I remember Gulfport and Biloxi before the casinos...

and only went there a few times after the casinos, and never, since Katrina.

Both greed and weather have laid waste to that lovely landscape.

Glad the karma of Justice is showing up at last.

[tridim]

16. I bet he was laughing his ass off as he was committing the fraud.

[monmouth]

17. And he plans to run for re-election??? Wow..just wow...n/t

[spanone]

18. they cry because they got caught not because they did wrong.

[Control-Z]

22. He still plans to seek re-election

'Owen said after the hearing that the indictment has no relation to Warr’s job as mayor, which he will continue to perform as the municipal election season approaches. Warr said later in the day that he still plans to seek re-election.'

[tanyev]

23. Somebody please tell me he has no chance of getting re-elected.

[BOSSHOG]

25. I'll do my best to keep my DUers apprised of the Honorable Mayors

future.

[malaise]

30. Hi Neighbor

Just up the highway a bit in Pearl River County. Ya never know who's gonna respond to what and when. I thinks its a significant story since Warr is the GOP's bright shining light in Mississippi where all republican politicians are hard working, competent and honest.

:sarcasm:

[pleah]

32. ;)

Do you remember the time Warr went on a trip to China to buy, of all things, logs for light poles? :crazy:

That was tax dollars well spent. :sarcasm:

[TwilightGardener]

29. Lived in Gulfport for a while. Wouldn't go back if you paid me.

Worst place I ever lived, and that was BEFORE Katrina.

[progressoid]

31. Awww boo hoo.
