State Rep. Bobby Harrell (R-SC): Today’s Public Official Misfit
Bobby initially duped the voters into electing him as a member of the South Carolina House of Representatives in 1992. In 2005, Bobby was elected by his fellow House members to be Speaker of the House.
Recently (09/10/02) Bobby was indicted on nine (9) criminal charges for illegal use of campaign funds. Some of the charges are as follows:
In a lame attempt at levity, Bobby said that he never knowingly violated the law. Obviously, Bobby missed his calling as a standup comedian.
All that remains now is to see how long Bobby’s prison sentence will be.
As we speak (ca. September 2014), Bobby suspended himself from his position as Speaker of the House; however, he refused to resign.
