Mr. Ward, it’s your belief that a man who disappeared for a week and sought treatment is “a national embarrassment”? What the hell do you call the last six years under the Bush regime???

Mr. Ward, you’re a councilman and help create public policy, so you should know better. You, sir, embarrass me!

Lawyer: Missing N.J. mayor was in clinic

Atlantic City leader was reportedly in facility known for mental health care

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. - The mystery of this gambling resort town’s missing mayor appeared to be close to a conclusion Tuesday, with a request before a judge to declare his office vacant.

An attorney for Mayor Robert Levy explained the town leader’s two-week disappearance involved time at a Somerset County clinic known for treatment of substance abuse and mental health issues.

He has been home since Thursday, his attorney Edwin Jacobs said.
