QuoteIt's worth emphasizing that our junkaeological dig unearthed no whiff of scandal. Based on their throwaways, the chief, the DA and the mayor are squeaky-clean, poop-scooping folks whose private lives are beyond reproach. They emerge from this escapade smelling like--well, coffee grounds.
But boy, did the mayor and police chief dislike it when the tables were turned.
The DA, by contrast, merely found the whole thing amusing.
