Wow, another corrupt politico freaks out. Can't say that I see the downside.

Did he threaten to jump, or promise?

If it was a promise I don't believe it - he is a politician after all.

"Mayor Street and several other representatives went up to the tower to reason with the Councilman."

Reason with a Democrat? Good luck.

In the spirit of party solidarity, I'd like to see a whole bunch of them join him. ;)

PHILADELPHIA -- A city councilman is vowing to keep his seat and defend himself if charged in an ongoing federal investigation of his finances.

Rick Mariano and several businessmen friends received target letters this summer from federal investigators looking into the councilman's financial dealings. Prosecutors typically send the letters to people who are going to be indicted.

"If and when an indictment comes down, the councilman is prepared to vigorously defend himself in the court of law. And he has no intention of resigning his office," Mariano's spokesman Frank Keel said Wednesday.

He was going on about how, if he was black, this wouldn't be happening to him.

Dumb Goombah playing the race card. Luckily, with the demographic changes in his district, he can be replaced by a sane Vietnamese immigrant.

JUMP! JUMP!

Your comments and similar comments from others are in really poor taste. Even if we dislike Mariano and his sleazy brand of politics, he is still a human being and deserves our prayers at a time like this. Pro life means pro life and urging him to jump -- even if in jest -- really isn't funny and makes you look like an ass.

Oh okay. Sure doesn't sound like the behavior of an innocent man.

I saw it. I just looked up his district. It's kind of broken up and I'm not sure if I'm in his district or district 10.

When you see a headline like that these days, you have to check the source to see if its a parody.

The shot I saw didn't look like there was glass where he was standing. I may find out more. Chopper 3 works out of the airport my son works at.

Haven't heard that one in a while.
