I Bet He's Wondering Who'll Play Him In The Movie Version
-
It took only six months into his first term for the Mayor of Charlotte, Patrick Cannon, to be charged with bribery and corruption. That's impressive. Theft, bribery, taking cash payouts five times, boasting of his White House connections... and, interestingly, he was the subject of a federal corruption probe starting three years before his arrest, which means that he was under suspicion while running for Mayor. It's sort of "American Hustle" without the reverse twist and with a more willing target. Read through the specifics and it really does make you wonder how and why people this corrupt manage to get themselves elected without the public being any the wiser. (Charlotte Observer)
