About to retire, this Tricky Dicky with a completed successful career tin-horn politician was no longer afraid to show his true colors.
He showed me dino's his when I was an underpaid reporter during the Seventies. Shelby was just a state senator back then and Tuscaloosa was in his district.
There the Indian Rivers Mental Health Center was taking gobs of state money while its founder was running the center into the ground out of sheer incompetence.
I began to learn all the hows and whys on the day I took a photo of the boss of a second floor satellite office in a rural county. The maqn was fed up and resigning out of protest. In the photo he was holding a rope. The Indian Rivers founder told him to use that rope for a requested fire escape should any staff and patients there need it for emergency. That photo and an article I wrote made the front page for the lead story.
Since that center was taking a lot of money from Alabama, I tried to discuss the matter with Senator Shelby. I was well into telling him what was going on when he cut me off, saying, "I support mental health" and hung up on me. It dawned on me what for. He was more concerned with the possibility of a political opponent or Mr. Incompetence accusing him of not supporting mental health than all that state money being mishandled and wasted.
Long story short, I had written quite a few articles about Indian Rivers while it took about a year for the director's underlings to make Dr. Frankenstein go away so his creation would no longer be a monster.
Me dino was invited to a celebratory dinner in Tuscaloosa where a federal inspection team announced that improvements at the center was "the difference between night and day."
And all without ambitious career politician fraidy-cat Richard Shelby's help. Well, that RINO made it to his big fat federal pension after all.
ThanQ Brother !

STABBING BACK MUCH BETTER!
The one about Afghanistan and where the buck stops is still too painful for me to laugh. Truth be told...nobody knows where the buck stops with this guy. They point to the border patrol on horseback with "whips" as though Trump is still in office. It's like me ranting and raving about how tall my own grass is getting. What a mind-F*&K
