For the Good Times

Notoriously inept, incompetent, and...well, let me stop there.

Miami City Attorney Jorge Fernandez has "resigned":

Television station CBS4 reported that Fernandez brokered a plea arrangement with the Miami-Dade County State Attorney's Office. Fernandez will reportedly plead guilty to two counts of making false official statements, avoiding felony charges.

Fernandez is to be adjudicated as guilty, pay the city $3,093.44 in restitution and serve a year's probation. He also agreed not to seek work in the public sector.

Please -- we don't want him! Well, to be honest, I'm gonna miss him. We've had some fun with him, for example here, here, here, and here, so there's part of me that still wants to see his high-flying freefalls continue, if nothing than for sheer entertainment value.

But then again, we'll have a chance to chuckle again once he attempts to enter private practice.
