Baltimore mayor not lucid enough to decide whether to resign
She sounds totally Democrat Minority Official Competent™. Hillary says: "*Hic*!"
[NY Post] Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh is sick and not lucid enough to decide whether to resign over a federal investigation into shady sales of a children's book she authored, her lawyer said Thursday.
I've had pneumonia twice. I might have been kind of woozy for a couple days, but three weeks after being diagnosed my wits had been back for at least two and a half weeks. Maybe I'm just not typical.
The embattled Democrat was at her house during an FBI and IRS raid on the property earlier Thursday and met with a doctor there, said her attorney Steve Silverman.

An earlier report from local outlet WJZ quoted sources saying Pugh had skipped town. But her lawyer ‐ whose office was also raided by the feds ‐ said he met with her for an hour at her Ashburton house, according to The Baltimore Sun.

"She is generally aware that there is a consensus that she should resign," Silverman said. "For people to make material decisions in their life, they have to be at a certain level of stability."

The growing controversy over the sale of her "Healthy Holly: series to the University of Maryland Medical System while she was on their board of directors has made it harder for Pugh, 69, to recover from a bout of pneumonia, her lawyer said. She also now has bronchitis, he said, and plans to see a doctor at home again Friday.

Pugh cited the illness as the reason for taking an indefinite leave of absence April 1 ‐ when the Gov. Larry Hogan called on the Maryland Office of the State Prosecutor to open a probe into Pugh's "questionable dealings."

The governor called on Pugh to resign Thursday, echoing the Baltimore City Council and Baltimore lawmakers in the House of Delegates.

#3 Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh is sick and not lucid enough to decide whether to resign

I bet she was lucid enough to write a decent sized retainer check to this lawyer before she split town.

#7 She wants to stay in power so, so badly. It's the only thing that gives her life meaning and to give it up is to give up everything that she stands for.

In Baltimore, she didn't do anything wrong. That's why she's in denial. Everyone else is just as guilty but isn't getting punished. Only her. It's so unfair.

#8 Not lucid enough to decide to resign, but lucid enough to sign leftist bills into law.

#9 Codeine cough syrup may not cure pneumonia but it sure makes having it a lot more fun.
