Sheila Dixon Goes National
In case you missed it last night or as reported on WBAL news this evening, Sheila Dixon was the brunt of one of the jokes used on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno last night. Leno said:
"The mayor of Baltimore, a woman named Sheila Dixon, has now been charged with 12 counts of felony theft, perjury, fraud and misconduct in office. The good news -- she's now eligible to become the mayor of Detroit or the governor of Illinois," Leno said.
However, he didn't mention that her lawyer went on a 40 minute tirade during the press conference about how this is a Republican-led witch hunt to get her removed from office. I'm sure most liberal viewers in Maryland bit the bait, but those of us who went to colleges where they teach you to think for yourself saw right through this.
Why would the Republicans waste money and time trying to bring down the mayor of a crime-ridden corrupt city that sucks money from the state budget and hemorrhages middle class residents? Do the Democrats think the Republicans are behind a conspiracy to replace her with a Republican candidate? How ridiculous! A Republican hasn't been elected Mayor of Baltimore in nearly 46 years. That's why the city is so much better than it used to be. Oh, wait...

I watched Leno last night and found that part of his dialog humorous. The sad part of this situation is that even if she is guilty of the charges she will not only get off but be reelected.
I watched Leno as well.
A lot of truth is said in jest, even if it is merely to illicit a laugh.
I find it odd that Mayor Dixon should have all these instances of brushes with legalities during her jobs on the City Council and as Mayor.
Methinks there has to be something there.
Hannity mentioned it on his new (Alan C-Free)show as well.
