And may flights of angels (paid for by State taxes) sing thee to thy rest.

I hope his brother Mike is OK.

Besides being Governor of Alabackwards, he was also the inventor of the eponymous and wildly successful Asian entree Moo Goo Guy Hunt.

rest in peace sir.

Guy Hunt is also the unofficial name of the Republican Men's Room Action Committee.

He is survived by his brother Mike.

The Devil has a special place for you, sir.. Hope you enjoy it.

No black angels though.

Donald_McRonald: He is survived by his brother Mike.

I hope he's o.k. I heard that Mike Hunt is sore from the stress of that Guy finishing off.

Atillathepun: Guy Hunt is also the unofficial name of the Republican Men's Room Action Committee.

Wow. Clear winner... I can't believe I overlooked that.

Isn't that the guy that spent 200k public money on a fancy new bathroom?

Hope he burns.

Has his relative Mike Hunt been mentioned yet in this thread?

Good thing he didn't dodge $200k in taxes. He might be nominated for a cabinet position!

legion_of_doo: Good thing he didn't dodge $200k in taxes. He might be nominated for a cabinet position!

Actually, it is a good thing he is not a big horse guy.

So it took Alabama voters 23 years to figure out where Dixiecrats went?

One Republican down, mumble mumble to go!

ThatWouldBeMostGood: One Republican down, mumble mumble to go!

4?

He is now and shall forever be one of the Good Republicans.

Is this the death of the GOP that everyone keeps talking about?

They're actually all going to die?

/Sweet.

Was heard saying "in before the Republicans went full retard" on his death bed.

i bet he and ronnie raygun are stealing from the Angels in heaven. here's your wonderful republican alabama governor. a crook just like all the other republicans.

In 1992 a grand jury indicted Hunt for theft, conspiracy, and ethics violations.[2] Prosecutors said that he took $200,000 from a 1987 inaugural account and used it to buy marble showers and lawnmowers.[3][4] Hunt was ultimately found guilty. As the state constitution does not allow convicted felons to hold office, Hunt was forced to resign on April 22 of that year.[5] After being ordered to pay $12,000, Hunt began a five year probation term in 1994. In February 1998 he asked the parole board to reduce his probation by four months; the judge instead increased the probation by five years.[6] In April 1998 the parole board granted Hunt a pardon based on innocence.[7]

Hunt died on January 30, 2009 after a long battle with lung cancer.[8]

enjoy your dirt nap, hunt.

Linux_Yes: enjoy your dirt nap, hunt.

did i mention he was a babtist minister?? you couln't write fiction this good.

There's a lot of mention of his brother Mike, but everyone seems to forget his other brother Harry, who was real popular in the 70's.

Okay, let me go get some coffee and I'll see about getting back to you on my failtacular post.

That dude was a crook.

I'll take this opportunity to mention that the first Dem Gov of Alabama in a long time, Don Seigelman sat in jail on trumped up and baseless charges CONcieved in Karl Roves "War Chamber"

Well Obama is in charge of the Justice Department now so the charges should be thrown out any day.....right?

His election was bizarre. in 1986 there were two prominent Democrats battling it out for the nomination. At the time the Democrat nominee was a shoo in. The Democrats were Baxley and Graddick. Graddick had long been a member of the GOP and switched parties when he first ran for state office. Well Graddick won the nomination for Governor and Baxley challenged saying that crossover votes from Republican voters had given Graddick the win. The State Democratic Party agreed and overturned the election results and gave the nomination to Baxley. Graddick was pissed and refused to endorse Baxley and even started a write in campaign. Well Graddick realized that it would not work and just sat out the election. Guy Hunt was a nobody rural county judge when he got the GOP nomination. No one really ran for the GOP nomination. Anyway so people were pissed at the Democrats for taking the nomination away from Graddick and voted Guy Hunt into office and since then the GOP has fielded well financed and well supported candidates. The state Democrats did this to themselves.

Hang On Voltaire: At the time the Democrat nominee was a shoo in.

Did you develop an allergy to basic grammar, HOV?

Also, arrested in the early 90s as governor.

I remember it well. I love the crooked efficiency of Alabama government. Everybody is on the take and stuff still gets done. Because our politicians are also backstabbers.

I came to hear how his brother Mike was doing, and leave feeling farky. Thank you Hangon Voltaire for saying /shoo in/ instead of /shoe in/.

Has anyone mentioned Guy's brother Mike yet?

I don't know, Magadelta. If only there were some way of being able to read comments before leaving a comment.

have you no respect or decency? a man died and all you can think about is partisan politics...i'm appalled at what the world is coming to. i'll remember to throw a party next time a dem passes on. when ted goes (and it should be any week now, contrary to the lib media's praise of his "rallying"), i think i'll crack that fine champagne i have in my fridge! what a grand day that will be

Imagine Fark on the day when O kicks it. That'll be something to see.

Oh, you mean Chicken Don? Trumped up indeed! HA! Why would Karl Rove even bother with Chicken Don? He's a liar, a cheat and a baffoon, not to mention a now failed governer. He's exactly what Bill Clinton would be if it weren't for that rascally Ross Perot.

I always thought it was sad what Paul Hubbard and Co. did to Guy Hunt. Hunt was one of the Good Guys.

Yes, I'm from Alabama.

There's lots of well-wishing for Mike Hunt, but what of his cousins Anita Bath, Hugh Jass, Harry Cox and the twins, Benjamin and Ilene Dover?

My condolences go out to the Haywood Jablowme family who were good friends as well to the Hunt family.

His brother was a pussy.
