Back story on the Hurlburt thing

206 words eaten alive on February 9, 2010 - Filed Under Life, Ranting, This Town -

I forgot I hadn’t written yet about the first thing Hurlburt did! Before the $2500 TV was discovered, it was made public that Richard Hurlburt had purchased a generator for the heft sum of $8000. I also hear he paid $3000 to have it installed at his house! What the hell was that man thinking?!?

He claims the generator was purchased for community use, emergencies, for a seniors residence or for ground search and rescue teams. He claims that it was at his house merely to make sure that it was kept charged up for when it was needed. But tell me, how do you keep it ‘charged up’? It’s a generator, it generates it’s own power! Does this unit have a big honking battery built in? I guess it would it it truly cost $8000. I hear it was more like $1200 though. Where’d the other $6800 go? Only Richie Rich knows that answer. And I hear he’s currently off on a Florida Keys vacation, conveniently avoiding all the current scandal.

His facebook fan page is looking pretty funny right now, I must say most of his ‘fans’ aren’t acting very fan-like at the moment!
