Atlantic City Mayor Drops Out of Sight
AOL News & AP ^ | October 6, 2007 | Wayne Parry

Under federal investigation for embellishing his Army service in Vietnam, a groggy-sounding Mayor Robert Levy called in sick at City Hall, climbed into his city-issued Dodge Durango and seemingly dropped off the face of the Earth.

A spokesman issued a 36-word statement saying the mayor was going on indefinite medical leave. That was a week and a half ago. Aides say he is in a hospital, but they won't say where, why or for how long.

The mystery and the gathering scandal over Levy's military record have worried civic leaders in this seaside casino resort, which has a long history of corruption, with four of the last eight mayors busted on graft charges and one-third of last year's nine-member City Council in prison or under house arrest.

Another “phony” soldier was going to be “outted” I do hope he does not harm himself. But good grief...when are politicians going to learn to not “embellish” their war resume? Ask John Kerry about that, lol!

Many years ago, New York City and Atlantic City had a choice between them. One would get the toxic waste dumps and the other the lawyers. They flipped a coin. New York lost.

A Democrat with a sense of shame. Now there’s an anomaly.

This is why we should never, ever, trust a Demo-rat spouting about his military record.

I'm guessing Rush will use this.

The democrats have a long history of using phoney (or exaggerated) anti-war soldiers, I'm sure they attacked Rush in part to cover up that vulnerability.

There is nothing worse than even a real soldier turned politician, who then waves his uniform while attacking our troops and national defense. Look at that visibly drunk (or at least stupid) Murtha, calling the current troops murderers and then ranting about how he served in Korea.

Go figure, this mentally unstable Atlantic City mayor is a Democrat, so the crAP doesn’t bother to mention his political affiliation at all in the piece.

Contrast that with the disgraced Larry Craig. AP was gleeful to point out that he was a Republican.

The outward bias from the left-wing press never ceases to amaze me.

Why can’t more politicians drop out of sight?

Oh I would never trust one of them. I’m just surprised to see him skulk away in shame rather than stand tearfully in front of reporters saying something to the effect...”I, am a Phony American” a la Jim McGreevy and then perhaps check into some rehab clinic.
