CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Charlotte Mayor Patrick Cannon, who has been in office less than six months, resigned Wednesday, just hours after he was arrested and accused of taking more than $48,000 in bribes from undercover FBI agents posing as businessmen who wanted to do work with North Carolina's largest city.

Cannon submitted his resignation letter to city manager Ron Carlee and city attorney Bob Hagemann, Charlotte spokesman Keith Richardson said in an email. The 47-year-old Cannon is charged with bribery and public corruption. The Democrat took cash, airline tickets, a hotel room and the use of a luxury apartment as bribes and solicited more than $1 million more, according to a criminal complaint from the U.S. Attorney's office.

I'm surprised Holder signed off on this little outbreak of stings against Democrats. They must be standing in the way of something the regime is trying to accomplish.

Living in Charlotte, I can assure you they will simply replace him with another Democrat.  Once a city reaches a certain size, it becomes a permanent Democrat stronghold.

As Rush said today, they've got to do something to make them look less lawless in the eyes of Americans for the upcoming elections.

I suggest mass suicide.
