Speaking of Coincidences...
Is it a just case of good (or bad) timing, or just a coincidence, that this morning's Birmingham News features a big Charles Dean story about Federal subpoenas issued for Attorney General Troy King regarding gifts he received and travel he made, on the same morning that lobbyist Luther Strange will announce his candidacy against King in the Republican Primary? Strange's announcement will come via the net at 10:00am, as King and his staff gather records of gifts King received during his time in office, and trips he took..like the one to a skybox in Turner Field courtesy Alabama Power. Just a case of good (or bad) timing? Right. Sure. Just a coincidence. Oh, gotta run, The Easter Bunny is on the other line.
[UPDATE: a video of Strange announcing is up already, just before 10:00am, on his website. He says his first goal, "once elected, will be to restore excellence, integrity and the highest ethical standards to the office." A shot across the bow, no doubt.]

Troy "Boy" King...
ReplyDeleteWhy the voters of Alabama sent a boy to do a man's job, I'll never understand.
I recall with great vividness the incidents now being reminisced in the news and your blog.
Maybe Troy could get some Montgomery Biscuits tickets for some of my friends and me. And while we're at it, maybe I could get the choir to sing at his sentencing!
And who wants a Strange Attorney General in Alabama?
It's just all too freaky!
