Source: Bermingham News

It Is becoming clear that Robert Bentley will not last the week as governor.

I'm going to go ahead and predict what the Gropenfuhrer would say in this case.

"I'm sure he's a good person. I don't think he should settle; personally I think he shouldn't settle. Because you should take it all the way. I don't think he did anything wrong."
