Daily Caller:
Tennessee Democratic Mayor Megan Barry admitted she had an expensive affair with her head of security detail using taxpayer dollars, according to a Wednesday press conference.
Barry, who is married, apologized for having an affair with Metro police Sgt. Robert Forrest Jr. and using nearly $33,000 of the government’s money on their travel expenses over the last 10 months. Barry claims that her trips as mayor of Nashville, Tenn. were for business, including trips to Paris and Athens. However, Barry does not think she improperly misused taxpayer money, NPR reported.
“I’m embarrassed, and I am sad, and I am so sorry for all the pain that I have caused my family and his family,” Barry said Wednesday. “I know that God will forgive me, but that Nashville doesn’t have to. … I hope that I can earn your trust back and that you will forgive me.” more
HOLY MOLY!….The whiskey bill alone would have been astronomical for him to face her naked….
Why won’t you feel sorry for meeeee!?!?!?
That’s a lot a cash in ten months,looks like she’s sorry she got caught.(as usual)
According to Sandra Fluke, $3,000.00 was for Birth Control.
Unfortunately, Nashville/Davidson County is a Libtard Island (like Memphis) in an otherwise conservative State. This mayor has proposed or has spent taxpayer money like there’s no tomorrow for absurd projects. Living here is becoming insufferable– traffic (bike lanes EVERYWHERE are creating narrower roadways and more dangerous driving- all in the name of being a “green” city), high property taxes and cost of living, and a failing public school system at which more and more money is thrown. Thanks, Democrats. And bite me, Megan Barry. 😡
He got paid to have sex with her. I believe there is a word for that.
Wow, the Sgt. must have been desperate. I guess adultery ain’t what it used to be. But she is sorry, just not sorry enough to resign or make restitution. What a pig.
“The police set the policy for the kind of detail coverage that a mayor gets, and I have been the recipient of that. I have taken trips that have included detail and those trips have always been for business.”
Because nothing says potential kidnap victim like being the Mayor of Nashville. What is the big threat, one of Blake Shelton failed contestants on “The Voice” might go after her? A failed country singer act in Greece might take her hostage because of broken record deal?

Damn… Nashville sounds like Pittsburgh SOUTH! :barf:
So this is what she meant by ‘light rail’.
Looks like she’s working on the Hillary look.
She takes full responsibility provided there are no consequences.
I guess we could ask if Sgt. Forrest Hump provided the same sensual services to former Mayor Karl Dean.
She’s been burning up the Twatter feed since her admission. Making sure everybody is still voting for her $10 billion dollar light rail project, ensuring there’s plenty of goat yoga studios for the homeless and such.
She’s a repugnant bag of snacks but she’ll have to be pulled by her hair out of office.
Rumor is she’s had more pens dipped in her ink than a Mont Blanc factory and once she hard works her way through the “sleaze” that’s coming, that everyone will understand and she can get back to her all expenses paid skankorama.
She can’t help but bring her California ways with here. Nashville native, born and bred, our once great city is now clogged up with carpetbaggers, effete buttnuts and damn Yankees.
Holy Shit!… Not enough bourbon and Viagra in all of North America for me to do that.
Next he sues the state for emotional damage due to sexual abuse by his ex boss. . . wait for it.
How much of that was for Viagra? Yuk.
This sure makes a lie out of the idea that electing women will put an end to sex scandals and corruption.
We can see what she looks like, how bad does he look?
All he “city” trips with other gigalos need to be talked about and reported!
PDX- Haven’t been to Nashville, huh? We’ve been wearing shoes and ciphering real good for a while now. They learn us real good in school.
So much arrogance, idiocy and blasphemy all in one sentence:
“I know that God will forgive me, but that Nashville doesn’t have to. … I hope that I can earn your trust back and that you will forgive me.”
She ‘knows’ that God will forgive her?!! Hope she has that in writing, signed and notarized.
The best and brightest of Nashville do not actually live in Davidson County. Nearly all of the country artists Nashville is famous for live in Brentwood and Franklin in Williamson County. Charlie Daniels is from Wilson County. Johnny Cash was from Sumner County. I’m in Rutherford County, just happy happy happy she’s not my mayor.
