Oh my! Where IS that popcorn?
Love it! Good riddance,
Completely believable knowing the arrogant personality involved.
“The picture being painted by these documents is not an accurate reflection of reality,” said Gansler, a former Montgomery County state’s attorney who was first elected attorney general in 2006. “I deeply respect the troopers and job they do protecting me and the public. A few of the 18 troopers who have provided me protection felt my backseat driving made them uncomfortable — for that I apologize.”
Hmmm where have I heard this before? Liberalism is a hell of a drug!

This Dougie Crap is MD Democratic BS that goes back to Govenor Don Schafer. "Billy Don" would not let the 55 mpg speed limit be raised but his motorcade always passed me going 80 miles an hour. Hypocritical elitist bastards...

Maryland Attorney General Douglas F. Gansler regularly ordered state troopers assigned to drive him to turn on the lights and sirens on the way to routine appointments, directing them to speed, run red lights and bypass traffic jams by using the shoulder, according to written accounts by the Maryland State Police.
When troopers refused to activate the emergency equipment, Gansler, now a Democratic candidate for governor, often flipped the switches himself, according to the police accounts. And on occasion, he became so impatient that he insisted on driving, directing the trooper to the passenger’s seat. Gansler once ran four red lights with sirens blaring, a trooper wrote. Another account said he “brags” about driving the vehicle unaccompanied on weekends with the sirens on.
“This extremely irresponsible behavior is non-stop and occurs on a daily basis,” Lt. Charles Ardolini, commander of the state police executive protection section, wrote in a December 2011 memo that said the problem had existed for five years. “Attorney General Gansler has consistently acted in a way that disregards public safety, our Troopers safety and even the law.”

I think I understand now. Laws, rules, regulations, statutes, common law, they all apply to us not the ruling Democrat oligarchy.

Ya don't say! Kinda seems like something that has been well known around here for a while now...

There's always been at least two sets of rules...
The rules for us and the rules for them.
Their voiciferous denial is prima facie evidence they aren't honorable. (as is we needed any more)

Well we can hope that this leak means that Brown is the chosen successor.. but how does it help us..
Who will take out Brown if Gansler is damaged..?
Its too early in the cycle for fratracide. Amusing though it may be
However what does it tell us about the possible push back on the msp after the latest conflict?

Wow!!! That would result in suspension and outright termination (for multiple infractions) where I work. How can he be allowed to remain AG? Can he be impeached and removed?
