Ol' Ganim here was a money-grabber as well as a gun-grabber, and even managed to try doing both at the same time when he sued Smith and Wesson, blaming them for the actions of his criminal constituents. And based on primary results, they are dumb enough to give him the keys again.
So let's help a "prohibited person" win back the crown, and keep that string of criminal mayors unbroken! Funny-- in spite of all those years in prison, I can't find any photos of him in cuffs or even a mugshot to use for "campaign literature." I wonder why that is...

It’s a proud New England tradition, epitomized by comeback mayor Buddy Cianci (with whom, as an old RI homie, you are undoubtedly familiar).
ReplyDeleteAt least Massachusetts had the discretion to elevate the BROTHER of the head of the Irish Mafia to high elective office, instead of the O’Don himself (Whitey Bulger).
In re Buddy, aside from knowing he's corrupt as hell, wanted back in power after his prison release and collected over $200K from the city in "owed" pension, mostly as the guy they named the high school after on "Family Guy."
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff: cop union backs felon for mayor. Guess we know who'll scratch who's back when they get him in.
