Jewish Soap Opera in the Arizona Desert
by Jeff Davis
A Third World country tends to have Third World politics. The Jewish mayor of Gilbert, Arizona apparently thinks he’s in Israel. That is, if we can believe his ex-wife, which is always a problematic situation in a marriage gone bad. There may be something to this, or the tabloid media has struck again.
According to the (Phoenix) East Valley Tribune “Gilbert Mayor Steve Berman plotted to kill Councilwoman Linda Abbott years ago because he blamed her for his 1993 defeat in a council race, the mayor’s estranged wife told Maricopa County sheriff’s investigators. Berman went so far as scouting out Abbott’s jogging patterns with plans to run her over with his truck, Michelle Berman is quoted as saying in a police report released Friday morning… He backed out at the last minute after waiting for Abbott to pass by, according to Michelle Berman’s statement to police. Her statement to sheriff’s investigators does not give a time frame for the incident. Michelle Berman did say she was not with the mayor at the time, but that he told her about the plot later. The mayor has not been arrested or charged, but the investigation has been turned over to the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office for review.”
It will be recalled that Maricopa County is the bailiwick of Joe Arpaio, the self-proclaimed “toughest sheriff in America” who makes jailed inmates live in tents and wear pink underwear. Arpaio would probably get a kick out of throwing a crooked politician into one of his prisons. (more…)
