1. Banner Calling for Riley’s Impeachment
Flies Over Rose Bowl
by Glynn Wilson for Locust Fork Journal
While most of the country and the states of Alabama and Texas were
taking a break Thursday from the mundane affairs of business and
government to revel in the national championship between the
Crimson Tide and the Longhorns, a Tuscaloosa businessman with a
vendetta against Bob Riley used the Rose Bowl as an unlikely setting
to attack the Republican governor.
A banner with the words “Impeach Corrupt Alabama Governor Bob Ri
ley” was towed through the air over the Rose Bowl before the game
(see photo above).
Officials with a banner-towing company told the AP they were hired
for about $3,000 to fly over the Rose Bowl stadium for about four
hours before the game. A longtime Riley critic, Tuscaloosa
businessman Stan Pate, took credit for the sign, saying he wanted
everybody to see that “Bob Riley is a phony.”
