Just when a wingnut just might be intimidating to us, we are reminded that at the core of every wingnut there is SCOUNDREL writ large.

Forced to resign as mayor in December 1985 after his felony conviction, Hedgecock found radio. (The California Supreme Court reversed the perjury convictions in 1990, and Hedgecock eventually reached a plea agreement with the District Attorney's Office in the conspiracy case. He reportedly paid a fine, and the conviction was reduced to a misdemeanor and dismissed.)
Still maintaining his innocence and calling the matter "complete BS,"
http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/metro/probe/20030829-9999_z1m29scandal.html1985: San Diego Mayor Roger Hedgecock resigned after he was convicted of one count of conspiracy and 12 counts of perjury. The charges stemmed from allegations that he financed his 1983 mayoral campaign with more than $300,000 funneled through a political consulting firm. Hedgecock was sentenced to a year in county custody, a fine and three years' probation. After the state Supreme Court reversed the perjury convictions, Hedgecock made a deal with prosecutors. He pleaded guilty to the felony conspiracy count that was reduced to a misdemeanor and then dismissed in 1991. He served no time in jail.
