Former Hizzoner Bill Campbell is going to jail. For 30 months at a minimum security prison. Why?
The Federal government followed the bribery convictions of former Atlanta mayor Bill Campbell's aides with a wide ranging indictment against Campbell himself, including
Taking payoffs from people doing business with the city;
Taking payoffs with people seeking business and licenses from the city;
Defrauding Atlanta citizens by depriving them of "good, faithful and honest services as mayor;"
Failure to disclose cash payments he received while serving as mayor.
Accepting illegal campaign contributions for his re-election as mayor.
Defrauding contributors and creditors of his re-election campaign;
Recruiting others, including city employees, to "participate in ... racketeering activity."
The poor guy got a break when the jury found him guilty of only tax evasion. And because we all know what happens when men and women go to prison, Neal Boortz asked his readers to give old Bill a nickname:
Which of these do you think should be Bill Campbell's prison name?
1) Bendover Bill
2) Brown Round
3) Mayor McPlayer
4) Brokeback Bill
5) Three Dollar Bill
6) Mayor Pill O' Biter
7) Bum Rap
8) Bubba's Love Sponge
9) Billy Butt Cheeks
10) Peaches
11) Butt Bongo Billy
Me and Kitty chose "Peaches" but then changed to Bubba's Love Sponge. v.c.
P.S. As of this posting Brokeback Bill was numero uno.
P.S.S. One of the pictures in the montage is not connected to the story. The savvy reader should be able to discern quickly the one that doesn't mesh.
