Never mind, looked it up. Pubbie with a wandering schwantzstucker.

now I had to look it up, wiki says he’s R
The guy, in his late 50’s, after having established a fairly profitable health business empire....got into politics. Around 2009/2010, this gal (Rebekah Mason) more or less selected him as a vehicle into the governor’s office. He had zero talent for the job....zero speech ability.
So she gets him into office, and then has him hire her for roughly $400,000 a year....with her husband as part of the deal as well. Around 2014, Bentley’s wife finally figures out the affair, dragging five or six state employees into this and triggering a public episode.
He’s about as naive as you can get....no common sense. At some point in 2014, his kids suspect that he’s even showing signs of dementia.
GOP in the state only see the guy as some useful way into the Senate (because Sessons left). There’s some rumors that Shelby will retire by summer, and Bentley will appoint another of the state senators into this job....so everyone is keeping their mouth shut and hoping to get this over soon.
