Every morning I wake up I say to myself, “Scott, aren’t you glad you don’t live in Luzerne County?”
Well, I really don’t do that, but my God, what a laughing stock the county has become. Corrupt judges, school board directors on the take, secret lunches with reputed mob bosses, this is the stuff that dreams are made of right?
Today’s local papers, the Times Leader and Citizens Voice are ripe with photos and stories of the multiple events that happened today. Folks, here is my commentary on today’s happenings:
Mikey Conahan couldn't even tie his tie before going into court this morning? Shame on you! (Times Leader Photo - Fred Adams)
Scootch Civarella hangs his head in shame (poor bastard) as he enters Federal Court. He looks neater than his soon-to-be-cellmate, Mikey Conahan. (Times Leader Photo - Fred Adams)
Conahan tied his tie and donned a sport coat and a smile after pleading not-guilty while Ciavarella dons a shit eating grin. (Times Leader Photo - Fred Adams)
Jerry Bonner pretends he's in Miami after pleading not guilty to accepting a bribe. Do these sunglasses make me look fat?
Kool Kulick clasps the hand of his wife, girlfriend, goomar, whatever, as he enters the courthouse ready to be sentenced to 37 months for gun charges. He broke the news to the feds that Conahan was meeting with a mob boss. Kulick today Smith tomorrow. (Times Leader Photo - Pete G. Wilcox)
Hey Vonderheid? Hey Skrepenak? Why aren't you defending you boy Guesto? Slick Sammy G takes records from the courthouse, files them away in a storage facility and gets busted. This dirt bag should have been fired long ago following the debit card fiascio, but Todd and Gregory covered his ass. Will they be next to go down? One can only hope. (Times Leader Photo)
Deputy Warden Sapphire Sam Hyder who is frequently seen hanging at commissioner Gregory 'It's my father's bar' Skrepenak's, Big Ugly's took plenty of vacation time but never recorded it. Perhaps Sammy forgot. Perhaps he's been kicked in the head one too many times by inmates. Perhaps he's just a dumb-ass. (Citizens Voice Photo - Mark Moran)
