…would that person be a party to such a straightforward swindle? It seems unlikely to me.

Doesn’t have to be a swindle, just plain old lack of character. What’s the old saw, it’s what you do when nobody is watching that reveals character. I don’t like to judge somebody based on their worst moments, maybe he can make it up to them.

You mean the government is shitty at spending other people’s money? You don’t say…

Yea, there is a reason that Washington DC is filled with super expensive restaurants. It’s because most of the time people are not spending their own money

And lobbyists need to take high level government officials somewhere nice to bend the rules to their favor.

I’d need a whole lot more information before I hung him. He wouldn’t be the first athlete to let someone manage his finances and pay no attention to it. Did he even know he had an obligation to give speeches?

I mean he did know something was shady. He specifically asked if the media was going to be able to get a hold of this information. Certainly Favre knew that there was some underhanded business going on here. I mean who in their right mind would think spending $5 million for a volleyball arena is a good use of taxpayer money? Favre is from Mississippi and he knows that money could be put to better use.

However he should give it back and I would bet he does.

He hasn’t yet though and this story has been around for about a year. I can’t stand Favre and if he did something illegal I hope they nail him to the wall. I hope they’re able to include Aaron Rodgers as well. Christmas come early.
