It Just Played Out

Edmund Ford enters the court everyday with his lovely wife Myrna holding one hand, and shaking everybody else's with the other. He acts like he's running for political office again. Though he probably won't, but stranger things have happened. That was probably his best asset during his time as a city councilman. His undertaker background is obvious where ever he goes. He is used to going to churches and meetings shaking hands and kissing babies. For what it's worth, he has been visible though. The people in his district knew they voted in a fool. That's why some of them like him. He didn't always hide behind closed doors and do his misdeeds though. He often did it in public view. Anybody that has watched the council meetings over the years, have seen him in action. Now we understand what those idiotic rants and raves were all about all these years. Like he himself said in the video played at his trial. He was making somebody walk out of the council meeting. Obviously sometimes that worked.

I couldn't help but notice some of his loyal supporters during his trial. I guess they know we see them, with their faces being in practically every camera shot. They're circling around like funeral directors in the time of bereavement. You can believe me when I say. Some of those well wishers are really looking at his pretty little wife. Hoping to catch her if she falls. You have to wonder about a man or woman who would be at another mans' trial everyday, and their livelihood wasn't affected by his outcome. Why would you publicly encourage and support someone though they're obviously guilty? And you call yourself a minister or a community spokesman. Unless you were trying to get brownie points with someone other than him. What is their motive? No need trying to gain the favor of Edmund Ford, he's on his way to jail.

I don't know how smart Mrs. Ford is, her husband might be the brains of the bunch. If that's the case we'll soon find out. All the stuff they were on the verge of losing anyway. Will very quickly be lost if he's convicted. With all the money they're making on funerals these days. I don't expect that to happen though. The business is largely successful because of her. If the rumors I've heard are true. Edmund Ford being locked up might save the family some money in the long run. I've met Mrs. Ford before and she doesn't impress me as being slow. Instead, I see a seasoned player. Playing her role until the end. She isn't the religious beacon she's pretending to be either. Don't let her fool you. She is not blind to Edmund Ford's shady dealings. She has long been a willing recipient. She like her husband, is cunningly aloof. That eye popping, crazy talking, bristling up persona he's been hiding behind all this time. Even though he wouldn't bust a grape. It just played out.
