Fumo Guilty

Mar 16 2009 | Comments 0

As a lifelong Philadelphian, I have to say I feel a little triumphant to hear Vince Fumo has been indicted on all counts. Since I was a little girl — and I’m not exaggerating here — I’ve been hearing about Fumo’s being corrupt. Even a decade ago, you’d hear people saying, “No one will ever catch up with him. He’s Teflon.” Well, not anymore. And it pains me to hear other politicians declare their sympathy for him. Come on. Like you didn’t know what he was doing? Every yahoo in town knew Fumo was bankrupt ethically. I’m just surprised that anyone else is acting surprised.

Next up: Johnny Doc. I guarantee it.
