Title: If this is how local politics works, then I have no hope for state or national.

Back story:

Dumler gets charged with forceable sodomy commited on a woman that was NOT his SO at the time.
Two others come forward.
His CWP is pulled for the duration of the legal precedings.

Somehow, for some reason unbeknownest to most of the area, the felony was dropped to a misdomener, specifically so he could remain on the board of supervisors. He ended up with 60 days of jail time, which he will serve on weekends.
I'm absolutly positive that he got his CWP back.

Some highlights:
Cynthia Neff, the leader of the local Dems and the woman who paid his bail, got a DUI two days after speaking about what a stand up guy he is and paying his bail.

The judge told him that he was not to drink once he was relased on bail. Dumler went straight the bar from the courthouse.

He thinks volenteer work at SARA, the local rape crisis center, should make up for what he did.

He has not been disbarred.


So, basically if your a drunken former UVA fratboy with a propensity to rape women you can get away with all by being a democratic county supervisor in Albermarle county.

That's how local politics works across the nation.

Once you are in, you are in for good. Our local county council, for example, spends money like a drunken sailor, cannot account for money, their members are all the time getting in some kind of trouble (DUI's a favorite 'round here) and so on.

Oh, come on. DUI's sure, embezzlements, why not? Generally douchbaggery, ok. I get it.

But forced sodemy? Come on, really?

Depending on how good you are in, rape too. Seen it many a time. As we say down here "So long as he doesn't get caught with a dead woman or a live boy in his bedroom, nothing is going to happen"

Bums like this never seem to risk targeting people with a close male relative who might be inclined to do something about it.  :mad:

Or, for that matter, a close female friend with some intestinal fortitude.

(Awww, crap . . . now I'm going to have the  "Goodbye, Earl" tune in my head all afternoon.)

Congratulations!

Forcible sodomy IS rape.

Ayup. Funny how small things like principles, morals, ethics, and the law take a backseat to things like Party loyalty.

Quote
About a dozen more residents added their voice to the chorus calling for Dumler’s resignation, but a few spoke up supporting him, including local Democratic Party leader Cynthia Neff, who posted his bail following his arrest last November, and Scottsville resident Dolores Rogers.

“We as a nation have a long history of flawed leaders,” Rogers said, all the way back to the founding fathers. “If you want a lapdog, you need to buy one. If you’re not in Scottsville, you need not bother teling us who should represent us.”

That sounds less like party loyalty and more like a kool aid party.

I think I've only got most the basic gossip.

except, one you might not know, the "local business owner" bit on his resume? That's the new brewery in Scottsville, and he's got over 50% ownership. I, for one, shall not be buying their beer.

Yes I know. BSL was talking about my points in comparison to this and I was pointing out that rape was also commonly covered up for local politicians.


That said, if your a politician...it isn't rape, its always "a regrettable mistake due to a few too many drinks" of course

Yeah, except I always thought "covered up" indicated it was, you know, covered up.
I was not aware it meant "get off and keep position despite the fact that everyone knows and a signifigent portion of your constituancy wants your head on a pike."

Didn't it used to be that when a politition screwed up bad enough (and PUBLICALLY enough) the party would throw them to the dogs and distance themselves from the whole mess? Or has the democratic party just reached the level (or ego) where that doesn't matter cause they got it all in the bag?

I've said it before and I'll say it again...
Members of 'The Party' don't need to follow the laws of the common citizen subject.

Here's an example:
http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/339898/senator-menendez-s-bad-company-michelle-malkin

A US Senator (D)-N.J., receiving gifts of 'sex trips' to the dominican republic to have sex with underaged prostitutes- any bets that anything will come out of this other than it just goes away and gets forgotten?
