  You're deserving of some profanity but I am going to restrain myself.
  However, let me point out
 1/ it wasn't a citywide vote.  He was elected by the residents of one
    of eight districts in the city.
 2/ He was resoundingly defeated in a citywide vote earlier this year.
 3/ The prior representative of the district ran an entrenched political
    machine and she was an arrogant council member who barely won a
    plurality of the vote in her last election.  In short she was just 
    begging to be defeated.
 4/ The District isn't the first locality by a LONG shot which has elected
    a previously disgraced public official.  Voters in another places have
    re-elected jailed officials, convicted sex offenders and KKK members.

 Why the heck are you taking a pot-shot at the District?  You people come
 in from failing backwater places full of bigots and narrow-minded bastards
 and act so bloody sanctimonius when you get near to a big city.  Is your
 hometown so bloody pure?
