Fucking Moron: “It’s not something I asked for.”

Sean: “It’s also, apparently, not something he turned down.”

Any public officer who says something that stupid should lose their jobs immediately.

I find that it is poor journalism when I find that this whole thing boils down to a new bathroom, not in his private office like it is portrayed in many reports, but behind the glass doors that will be used by many people. The attempts to slant the story to make it a salacious expenditure of a greedy, selfish county government official is reminiscent of the reporter in the HBO series The Wire.

Shame on the Washington Post, the author who wrote the story, Ann Marimow, and shame on any jack ass out there who focuses on this instead of the Billions being wasted in Iraq and the young men and women being killed their!

One could rehab one, arguably two Baltimore rowhouses for that money.

How Ike Leggett needs a “security detail” of that depth is beyond me. I mean, I know that the mean streets of Rockville pose some hazards, but primarily from yuppie motorists text-messaging with one hand while adjusting the in-vehicle DVD player for the kids with the other. I manage to do well with one shower a day; does Ike Leggett lay brick or block for a living?

And how does one live 40 minutes from Rockville within Montgomery County anyway, traffic notwithstanding? I make it all the way to Rockville from two counties away in Reisterstown in traffic in about 70 minutes….

Oh, this is awesome. Evidently, Leggett and his contractors don’t watch “Sweat Equity.” For 65 large, you could renovate six to ten serviceable bathrooms. With showers. Of course, you’d have to forgo gold-plated fixtures.

Are there many armed terrorists lurking between Leggett’s office and the public restroom?

Seriously, this is recall material.
