In a recent Courant article they talked about "a gubernatorial ritual," where "Gov. M. Jodi Rell handed out her Christmas gag gifts Tuesday to an appreciative, sellout crowd of more than 900 at the Middlesex County Chamber of Commerce pre-holiday breakfast."
In honour of that I thought that we should give Jodi her very own internet gag gift:
Colonel Barone was Sergeant Brelsford's immediate supervisor
during the first 6 months of Sergeant Brelsford's 1995-1996 jet ski
investigation and was Director of Law Enforcement at the
conclusion of Brelsford's investigation. Vito Santarsiero
complained to Barone about the "delay" in completing the
investigation. . According to Barone, after this conversation,
Barone explained to Brelsford that "other principal parties" were
interested in the consequences of the investigation and ordered
Brelsford to "wrap this thing up." Barone explained that by "other
principal parties" he meant "the other suspects, Michael Rell and
the Lieutenant Governor because it was her son." As Sergeant
Brelsford's supervisor, and a high ranking DEP official, Colonel
Barone had a direct conflict of interest in the investigation of the
allegations concerning Sergeant Brelsford's 1995-1996 jet ski
investigation, which unavoidably involved the competence and
integrity of his supervision of Sergeant Brelsford during the
1995-1996 jet ski investigation and the communications he made to
Sergeant Brelsford at the direction of Vito Santarsiero.

This may be really old news, but remember that this just typifies modern day GOP politics. Steal, lie, cover up... Oh yeah! And promote those who help you in your efforts. Rinse and repeat, at least, until you finally get caught. Just ask the DeLays, Noes, Cunninghams, and Rowlands of the GOP party.
