Lights Out on Preferential Treatment...

...for some Memphis Democrats dodging utility bills and getting special leniency that wasn't afforded to the great unwashed of the city's citizenry.

Paragraph in which a political party is finally identified?

16, and it is in reference to DLC Chair Harold Ford, Jr (D, Tenessee):

Only Mr. Ford, it seemed, could get an Edmund Ford deal. For months, and over a period of years, Mr. Ford, a member of the city’s foremost power-broker political family and uncle of Harold E. Ford Jr., a former congressman and the current chairman of the Democratic Leadership Council, was allowed to put off paying bills at his funeral parlor and home that eventually totaled more than $16,000.
He had a good excuse, though - Bush did it / made him do it.

Apparently, this is just the tip of the iceberg in the corruption of the Democrat-dominated Memphis city government.

I wonder how many other Democrat-dominated cities have to endure this kind of corruption. Surely, there are no 137-count indictments against Democrats my hometown!
