I’m Shocked! Shocked !
What good is being in charge if you can’t help yourself.
He’ll probably scream Benghazi or something about prayer and Christmas and garner plenty of sympathy. Watch for the FAUX News critical analysis on why it’s Obama’s fault.

Slight resemblance to Ted Cruz. But likely Obama to be blamed for this as well.

Typical family values, law and order Republican hypocrite.

He’ll get less than a wrist slap.

Payback is going to be a bitch.

IOW just another self-entitled GOP grifter in a long line of self-entitled GOP grifters.

I think we’ve got our Republican 2016 presidential nominee here. Go Hubbard!

Diogenes67 · October 21, 2014, 12:17am

Republican? Ethics charges? I never saw that coming.

“…dignity of the State of Alabama.”
LOL. There’s two words I never thought I’d see in the same sentence.

runfastandwin · October 21, 2014, 12:34am

Christie just shit a brick…or maybe a cinder block. And Cuomo can’t be far behind…

I wish I could argue otherwise, but am expecting a cozy plea bargain in lieu of trial. He is a member of the just-us system.

Clarification–Hubbard faces 2-20 years for EACH COUNT.

Hubbard Has been playing robber baron from the moment he was sworn in. The only surprise here is that it took so long.

How proud he must be to be mentioned in the same breath as Christie, Deal, McDonough, Perry, Rounds, Walker, Scott … all the great GOP governors who’ve run afoul of the law.

He may not presidential material yet. But corruption on this level certainly is a stepping stone to the governor’s mansion … if you’re a Republican.

This is Alabama and he’s a Republican. All he has to do is say “Jeezus has forgiven me!” and he’ll be re-elected by a huge margin.

Diogenes67 · October 21, 2014, 1:48am

Take a leave of absence, do a Listening Tour, find Jesus and he’s good to go.

Iamrepublican. Listen to my blather. Ignore my behavior.
