Might end up getting Hubbard but so far Wren is the only with a rap sheet resulting from this mess.

Montgomery Republican Greg Wren's four-term career as a state legislator has come to an end after he agreed to plead guilty to using his office for personal gain and to pay $24,000 restitution.

Wren had served in the Alabama Legislature since 1994, leaving office once between 2002 and 2006. In January, Wren announced he would not seek a fifth term.

"Humbled by the trust and confidence placed in me by the voters over eight primary and general elections during my sixteen-year career, I stand and offer my hands and heart of gratitude for the blessings of serving my constituents and the State of Alabama," Wren said in a statement at the time.

Wren's legislative positions have included chairman of the Joint Legislative Medicaid Committee. He was also named chairman of the National Conference of State Legislatures Task Force on Federal Health Reform Implementation.

According to a biography found on his website, Wren has a degree in Public Administration from the University of Alabama and owns Wren and Associates with "areas of expertise including advocacy efforts in areas such as insurance and financial services, health care, tax and fiscal policy, and military issues." He is also a Chartered Financial Consultant and has been a financial representative with Northwestern Mutual Financial Network more than 30 years.

From 1977-1981, Wren served as a Legislative Analyst for the Legislative Fiscal Office, staff assistant to the United State Senate, and served as Governmental Affairs Director for the Alabama Association of REALTORS.

He is a member of the boards of directors at Montgomery YMCA Metro, Alabama YMCA Youth Legislature, Family Guidance Center, and YMCA Camp Chandler; is on the advisory board for Auburn University at Montgomery; has served First Baptist Church of Montgomery as part of its Disaster Relief and Resource Center Team, as chairman of deacons and a Sunday School teacher for over 25 years; and he has been recognized as the Montgomery YMCA Man of the Year."

As a legislator, Wren for years pushed for a rainy-day fund. Alabama voters in 2002 decided by a 2-1 margin to create the $250 million "rainy day fund" for the state education budget as part of a bill Wren sponsored.

"It's long overdue because we are one of the last states that does not have a reserve fund for either of its two state budgets. Historically, we have been shortsighted about setting aside money," Wren said at the time.

In 2007, Wren had announced plans to run for the Congressional seat vacated by the retirement of U.S. Rep. Terry Everett, R-Rehobeth, who had held the seat since 1992. A year later, however, Wren said he would not run for that seat and instead focus on his work as a legislator.

Other bills Wren sponsored would have placed the Ten Commandments in classrooms (as long as they were posted along with other historic documents); would issue a blanket guarantee that all benefits payable under that contracts through the state's struggling prepaid college tuition program would be honored by the state; and would have created an internet sales tax.

I'm going to say Skeeter Benford is a corndog.

What makes you say that? Skreets?

First of all, what do you suppose the gump to corndog ratio is in Morgan, AL?

Second, why would he be wearing a t-shirt of a championship game they lost? How often do you wear your FSU-Auburn BCS shirt? Now what if it was complete embarrassment of an assrape like the one LSU received in the game commemorated in that shirt?

Well, my opinion is based on Skeeter alone. Obviously if he was a corndogger, it would have been spelled Skeedeaux.
