Maybe Bob keeps a rubber in his wallet and didn’t want to keep his mistress waiting.

I guess only the ā€˜little people’ borrow a ten spot to eat until they can get back to their wallets.

It would appear as tho the State of Alabama should follow their former First Ladies lead and divorce the bastard.

And still, some poor guy working for minimum wage will vote for this Alabama governor because he stands up for their ā€œChristianā€ values . . . . that’s the part I will never understand.

Is he that much of a deadbeat that no one on his staff would lend him money?

And this guy…who would have a helicopter deliver his wallet so he could eat…is the same guy who would throw hungry families off food stamps because it’s too much of a burden to taxpayers.

I don’t care if he’s cheating on his wife, but this helicopter story reveals him to be a narcissistic, entitled, self indulgent individual.

Bye Governor!

helicopter rides ain’t cheap. What a fucking tool. I’m sure the dumbass voters in AL will just elect some other Republican, anyway because only GOPers are responsible with taxpayer money, amirite?

ā€œI requested they deliver my wallet, I didn’t know how they were going to do it. I did not request that a helicopter was used,ā€ Bentley said. ā€œYou have to have your wallet for security reasons. I’m the governor. And I had to have money. I had to buy something to eat. You have to have identification.ā€

I think the Governor is confusing himself with African-Americans who are trying to vote in Alabama.

This! I’m really tired of the sex scandals per se; I vote we start treating them as the French do, as more or less entertaining sidebars, the private business of the person and his ā€œintimatesā€. But the ethics and character and competence issues… well those are a different matter.

The retrieval mission was necessary because Bentley forgot the wallet when fleeing his Tuscaloosa home after fighting with the state’s former first lady… ā€œYou have to have your wallet for security reasons. I’m the governor. And I had to have money. I had to buy something to eat. You have to have identification.ā€

Meanwhile, back on the Planet of Personal Responsibility…

Whether the Governor’s wallet was delivered by helicopter, state trooper, or a carrier pigeon, it doesn’t seem that it was ā€œofficial business,ā€ especially because he had fled from his own domestic/personal altercation with his then wife. Get! Out! Of! Office!
