Reply #19: He looks REALLY bad in person.

There were rumors making the rounds that he was a coke addict. Nobody ever knew for sure--but yeah--he looks awful and that added fuel to the rumor. I joke that he looks like a survivor of Bergen Belson.

He's had multiple wives (serial, so he's not a bigamist!) and I'm betting there are divorce attorneys here in town who know the really good dirt and can never talk about it. Such a shame because you just KNOW there's a good story there somplace...

Anyhow, he was out campaigning years ago for his seat in the state House, and he came to a bowling alley where I was bowling. One of the ladies I was bowling with looked up and saw him walking along talking to people, and said, "Oh lord--some homeless guy is here tonight. I hope they get him out of here soon." She about fell over when she found out that was her State Rep. she had just been so nasty about.

He uses a very old photo on his campaign literature. I've never known if it was vanity or just self protection.
