I feel bad for the catfish. They shouldn’t be subject to this kind of abuse.
Have to believe most folks reading the headline thought Dunder Mifflin had lost a valuable employee.
Sorry - I’m guilty :(
That’s what she said!
Thanks
Ping to look for response to your question later.
He simply tried to do a little midnight water skiing without the skis (or the boat).

He is a cutie pie, isn’t he? (Don’t tell me his politics! It’s one of the few shows I like to watch.)

Key witness in (presidential) passport fraud case fatally shot [old article]
Washington Times ^ | 4/18/2008
Recently, Scott made news when he was subpoenaed to testify before a federal grand jury looking into the admissions practices of Chicago's elite schools.
Luckily, I’m probably one of the few other people here who couldn’t care less what actors political views are. I don’t pay attention to Hollywood.

Chicago 2016 hunts fed cash
By: Paul Merrion September 28, 2009
Chicago and the Obama administration are exploring ways the federal government can bolster the city’s bid for the 2016 Olympic Games with financial support for the $1-billion Olympic Village.
Crain’s has learned that senior presidential adviser Valerie Jarrett and Lori Healey, president of the Chicago 2016 committee, met this month with top officials of the Department of Housing and Urban Development to discuss financing options for the village, the single biggest project — and question mark — in the city’s bid.

Daley insider denies Olympics conflict
August 8, 2009 12:09
Michael Scott Sr. on Friday defended his dual roles as a key member of Mayor Richard Daley’s Olympics committee and developer of a proposed, for-profit real estate project that would sit within feet of the cycling venue if Chicago wins the 2016 Summer Games.
Responding to a Tribune investigation that found the Scott-led development team had secured crucial aldermanic support to develop city-owned vacant lots near Douglas Park, Scott said he will take no fees or profits from the project. All the proceeds would go to a group of West Side ministers, he said.

Bid team member has ties to developer - Daley insider denies conflict on Olympic Village
Chicago Tribune (IL) - Friday, September 25, 2009
Author: David Heinzmann, Todd Lighty and Kathy Bergen, Tribune reporters
A key member of Mayor Richard Daley ‘s Olympic committee has a long business relationship with a developer vying to build the billion-dollar Olympic Village, the grandest piece of Chicago’s plans for the 2016 Summer Games.
Chicago 2016 committee member Michael Scott also served as a consultant to the developer on a condominium project near the proposed athletes village, a development that would increase in value if the city wins the Olympics.
Scott , who negotiated key components of the $1.2 billion Olympic Village plan, said his business relationship with the developer, Gerald Fogelson, does not interfere with his role with the bid team. Chicago 2016 officials declined to say whether Scott ‘s relationship with Fogelson was a problem, with Daley ‘s Olympic team poised to spend billions of dollars in coming years.
But Scott ‘s multiple roles as a private developer, mayoral confidant and member of the city’s Olympic committee raises anew concerns about insider dealings in a city where Daley allies have long benefited from civic projects the mayor champions. City Hall insiders for years have profited under Daley ‘s administration in myriad deals, from minority contracting to leasing trucks to scooping up prime city-owned land.
Scott , who works out of Fogelson’s office, acknowledged he did work on the ongoing Eastgate Village condominium project, but said he provided limited services — free — as a favor to the millionaire developer.
“I had no financial interest. I didn’t do any real work,” Scott said.

Yep, and this article lists Blago, Ayers, and Scott. Wonder if they were afraid a connection would be made somewhere.
Boy, they’re dropping like flies! I’ll be surprised if Blago makes it to trial!
