Atlantic City Mayor Drops Out of Sight By WAYNE PARRY,AP Posted: 2007-10-06 13:21:32 ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (Oct. 6) -- Under federal investigation for embellishing his Army service in Vietnam, a groggy-sounding Mayor Robert Levy called in sick at City Hall, climbed into his city-issued Dodge Durango and seemingly dropped off the face of the Earth. A spokesman issued a 36-word statement saying the mayor was going on indefinite medical leave. That was a week and a half ago. Aides say he is in a hospital, but they won't say where, why or for how long. The mystery and the gathering scandal over Levy 's military record have worried civic leaders in this seaside casino resort, which has a long history of corruption, with four of the last eight mayors busted on graft charges and one-third of last year's nine-member City Council in prison or under house arrest. "It's a national embarrassment," said City Councilman Bruce Ward, who asked a judge Friday to declare the mayor's seat officially vacant and clear the way for the council to name a replacement. "We have entertainment companies that are considering investing billions of dollars in Atlantic City. They need to know there is stability in Atlantic City. And we have 40,000 residents here who need to be protected." Last fall, The Press of Atlantic City investigated Levy 's accounts of his wartime service and used military records to verify that Levy was a 20-year Army veteran with two Bronze Stars and two tours of duty in Vietnam. But the newspaper found he was not a member of the storied Green Berets, as he had claimed. Shortly afterward, Levy , former head of Atlantic City's lifeguards, admitted misrepresenting his record. "I'm sorry for having this happen at all," Levy told The Associated Press in November. "It's something I should have corrected 40 years ago. It is what it is, and I apologize for the embarrassment I've created for myself and my family." http://news.aol.com/story/ar/_a/atlantic-city-mayor-drops-out-of-sight/20071005174009990001?ncid=NWS00010000000001http://newsbusters.org/blogs/warner-todd-huston/2007/10/06/atlantic-city-mayor-phony-soldier-under-investigation-democratWonder why this is so important? Remember how you liberals accused Bush of being AWOL but cried like little sissies when Kerry's service was put to question? Well it seems that democrats have a problem with making up military careers not only to pad their resume but also to cheat taxpayers out of our money......crooks and liars...the democRatic way..... |

Kerry served. Bush didn't. What part of this am I missing? What makes Kerry a hypocrit? Why is Bush better in this regard? Please help me cause I'm an idiot liberal.  By the way, your powers of segway... uhh... suck. Bad. The more imprtant issue is that Atlantic City has no mayor, and you're wasting time over his military service and how this relates to Limbaugh? I think you need to sort out your priorities, pal. |

The haul ass after a couple boo boo's out of country? Real men like Col. North who was wounded four times and still stayed with his men is what I called "served". Not running away after a couple band-aids. |

I think you need to sort out your priorities, pal. I am not your "pal" asshole..... Completely uncalled for... but who am I to think the likes of you can be civil . Bush didn't serve? Then how did he get his wings? Uhhh... cause he flew a few planes IN THIS COUNTRY. It's not like he actually saw action or was in any real danger of being killed. And you call putting yourself in for commendations "served"? The haul ass after a couple boo boo's out of country? SILVER STAR
What is it for? Gallantry in action
Why did Kerry get it? Kerry led three swift boats up a canal on Feb. 28, 1969, and ordered a daring attack on Viet Cong positions. When his boat took rocket fire, Kerry directed his crew to head straight for the beach, taking the guerrilla with the rocket launcher by surprise. Kerry jumped ashore and killed him Yeah... what a liberal pussy HE was... BRONZE STAR
What is it for? Heroic or meritorious service
Why did Kerry get it? On the Bay Hap River on March 13, 1969, a mine exploded under Kerry's boat, driving shrapnel into his arm and knocking Green Beret Jim Rassmann overboard. Despite heavy fire, Kerry turned the boat around and pulled Rassmann back on board with his good arm Probably needed more than a band aid. I'm sure his comrade thanked him too, considerng a band aid wouldn't have helped him much if he drowned. PURPLE HEART
What is it for? Being wounded in action
Why did Kerry get it? He earned three Purple Hearts (the second and third are represented by gold stars), all for shrapnel wounds. His arm was scratched during a night patrol in December 1968. His left thigh was hit during a V.C. attack in February 1969. The March 13 injury, his third, entitled him to return home, and he did Yeah. Getting shot in the leg is nothing. SOURCEYou're ability to be partisan is staggering... and sad. Real men like Col. North who was wounded four times and still stayed with his men is what I called "served". Not running away after a couple band-aids. Col. North does sound like a great man... but I fail to see how this makes the wounds suffered by Kerry "trivial". Dpes Bush have any wounds from his time in Vietnam? Oh wait... he never went. That's right. Astonishing. Is this normal?
...seriously. For Dog Face 11B? Usually. |

I was referring to the fact that he's the only one who knows that Bush, Who learned how to fly a jet in the NG and has been Commander in Chief of the United States Armed Forces for years and yeard....ever served
It's hard to tell if the rest understand that, and are just being laconic, sophmoric little mop-pushers, or if they are completley ignorant to the facts but feel compelled for some reason to argue them anyway.

And some people who have NEVER served in the military have become president. What's your point? |

His point is, that someone like you who claims to be in the military would claim your commander in chief didnt serve. So just because you havent seen combat like President Bush, you are not serving in the military and your service means nothing...... this is why I think your full of bullshit |

Bush signed up to BE in the military. I did not. Of course, I know this distinction must escape your tiny mind, so I guess I actually had to tell it to you. |

When did the draft get reinstated? And some people who have NEVER served in the military have become president. What's your point?

Were you forced to raise your right hand and swear an oath to this country, the commander in chief and to uphold the Constitution? Or are you one of those idiots that joined the military thinking that you would never actually have to serve and steal taxpayers money to finance your college education? I serious doubt you wear the uniform...any uniform......and if you do, you must be one sorry example of the worst of our armed service has to offer. |

Or are you one of those idiots that joined the military thinking that you would never actually have to serve and steal taxpayers money to finance your college education? Actually, I'm 20 years old getting a Bachelor of Engineering in Naval Architecture to design ships for the NAVY and Coast Guard so they can better defend this country. I'm also pursuing a 3rd Assistant Engineer's lisence in the Coast Guard so if I *DO* go into any official service, be it the Coast Guard or the NAVY Reserve, I will be equipped to help in the best way I can. Or, I could join MSC (Military Sealift Command) to make sure the troops get there food, weapons, vehicles and body armor. Did you know it's possible to serve this country in more ways than joining the army? I serious doubt you wear the uniform...any uniform......and if you do, you must be one sorry example of the worst of our armed service has to offer. Yeah... and you represent the best? And it's no wonder people hate you so much... |

Facts are doggie that junior is a coward and being a rich kid with a daddy in office he got out of serving in any real way, then went missing doing that. The rest of the world knows it and we have moved on . You and the other neocon waterboys somehow cling on to the notion that he was some kind of a hero ...wishful thinking or pure delusion I don't care. GET REAL.

Oh, so you mean like former Senator Max Cleland, who lost both legs and an arm in combat serving this natiion but was still accused by Saxby Chambliss of being unpatriotic, even being shown in the same frame as Osama Bin Laden in television ads? |
