Download or read book The Governor of Goat Hill written by Eddie Curran and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2009-12-31 with total page 689 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I think this will make Watergate look like childs play. Former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman, on Karl Roves alleged involvement in his prosecution Was Don Siegelman the victim of a Republican conspiracy led by Karl Rove, or was he perhaps the most corrupt governor in Alabama history? On February 24, 2008, 60 Minutes delivered a bombshell claims that President Bushs political advisor Karl Rove had assigned an Alabama woman to tail Governor Don Siegelman and take photos of him having extramarital sex. The piece also presented an open and shut case that powerful Republicansincluding Rove and Bob Riley, Siegelmans successor as Alabamas governorhad somehow ordered the Justice Department to prosecute Siegelman. In this book, Eddie Curranthe investigative reporter whose stories initiated the criminal investigationdelivers a far different portrait of the one-time golden boy of Alabama Democratic politics. Curran leads readers on a first-person account of his discoveries, including Siegelmans use of his office to collect more than $1.3 million in legal fees while governor; the sale of his home through a straw man for twice its value; and a host of scandals involving the likes of Waste Management Inc., and Richard Scrushy, the deeply corrupt HealthSouth Corp. chairman prosecuted along with Siegelman. The Governor of Goat Hill is both a scathing portrayal of a New South governor gone bad and an indictment of some of the top names in American journalism, who bought into a bogus conspiracy for no reason other than it led to Karl Rove. This is a book you will either love or hate. One thing you definitely wont find it to be is boring. If you believe Don Siegelman got shafted by over-zealous, intensely partisan prosecutors you will find the case presented against him in great detail, making it easier for you to contradict with opposing evidence. I consider Don Siegelman a personal friend and this book has not changed my mind. He is a man of great ability and it will be up to the reader to decide if he abused the trust that was placed in himor was the victim of a witch hunt orchestrated at the highest levels of American government.

Download or read book For the Love of Alabama written by Ron Casey and published by University Alabama Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Normal0falsefalsefalseMicrosoftInternetExplorer4 For the Love of Alabama is a compilation of the most poignant and trenchant writing--editorials, reportage, and columns--by two of Alabama's most committed and reform-minded journalists. Ron Casey and Bailey Thomson both died young: Casey at forty-eight and Thomson at fifty-four. Nevertheless, through their work at the Birmingham News and the Mobile Press-Register, respectively, they labored tirelessly to illuminate and confront the state's chronic and interrelated problems of race, government, education, and poverty. Both journalists attended The University of Alabama shortly after George Wallace stood in the schoolhouse door, and their subsequent work tackled the tumultuous politics of that era. Casey and Thomson soon became voices of statewide reform movements. As such, they attacked the 1901 Constitution for its stagnating effects on the laboring class, race relations, education, and healthcare; allowances for special-interest influence; and impediments to fair taxes--an ongoing crusade that spawned, among much other work, Casey's Pulitzer Prize-winning series of editorials "What They Won't Tell You About Your Taxes" and Thomson's series "Dixie's Broken Heart," which won the Distinguished Writing Award from the American Society of Newspaper Editors. Compiled here are the writings that challenged not only the en- trenched corruption of the times, but also the apathy toward that corruption. It is a testament to the process of reform Casey and Thomson hoped would improve the lives of all Alabamians. It is also a volume of strong personal convictions, uncompromised religious beliefs, and a grounded devotion to community--all displayed in the clear, concise prose of two friends driven to change, for the better, the state that they loved.
