Courvoisier, ladies?
Bernie is even more footloose and fancy-free than ever. (He's giving up the siren in the car, though.)

Good bye, Bernie. Can't say it was too soon to walk away.
But you do have one bit of unfinished business to clear up.
Tell us the real story between Fred and Ted. What did TeddyK know, and when did he know it?
Write a book and do the book tour on your way out the door.

And who really killed Michael Francke? And why?

"...it has also been exhausting ...."
Indeed. And the job demands might have even played a role as well.

Good news at the bottom of that Trib article. Bob Skipper was a great sheriff. Wheeler & Skipper will be able to work together.

I can't believe these prying comments wondering about the sordid details in Bernie's past. There will be lots of time for all this later, but right now it's a time to focus on one thing and one thing only: What was it like bonking the wife of the Governor when you were his chauffeur? That's the part I want to know. I mean the wife of the Governor? What kind of driver's license did Bernie need for that?

I happened to be clicking around on Portland news sites a bit after the Guisto news went down. KGW, KATU, Local News Daily (Pamplin) and even Google placed the sheriff's story in the lead. The O breaking news page lead with, "Portland man admits to drunken brawl in Tualatin." (portlandville.com)

Typo: Giusto, not Guisto.

""He's not giving up his badge," said his chief of staff, Christine Kirk. "He will fight to keep his certification."
You mean fight to keep his pension?

Bill McDonald,
I know the writers are still officially on strike, but damn you made me laugh out loud: "bonking the wife of the Governor"
hoo hoo

Thanks Hilsy.
Bernie is a walking screenplay waiting to happen. You could go romantic with it, "Bridges of Multnomah County", but I see it more as a cross between a porno movie and "Driving Miss Daisy."

Bernie says,"I can't stay away from public service".
I suppose bonking the govonor's wife is a 'service' of sorts.
I wonder what other 'services' he intends to provide in the furture.

Bill, I don't think "Gusto's" present squeeze would like being referred to as Miss Daisy! Or were you refering to the pedophile's ex?

It's about the chauffeur days. Nothing about the governor is funny so his story would be left out.

The only good thing I can say about Bernie is he's been good about issuing CHL's.

Bernie seems to have replaced baseball for the guys in the hot stove league.

Bill M: What kind of driver's license did Bernie need for that?
I believe that would be the anatomical donor designation.
