PITTSBURGH - In the wake of Catherine McNeilly's reinstatement as Commander, Pittsburgh Mayor Luke Ravenstahl announced today that his upcoming book will hypothetically explained how former mayoral aide Dennis Regan would have interfered with police protocols, if he in fact had done it. Among other things Mr. Regan might have done, according to the Mayor, is "protect his the relatives of his love interest from unreasonable and nasty superiors who required them to come to work."Mr. Ravenstahl is looking to turn the book into a local TV special but is unable to obtain funding.
Mayoral spokesman Dick Skrinjar said that the book was purely hypothetical, and that while citizens should read it, they should not read anything into it. "No way," Mr. Skrinjar said when asked if this was a confession of sorts. "There is no evidence that Denny Regan did anything wrong. None. Maybe someone, somewhere, whose name I don't know -- because how would I? -- that person might have exercised poor judgement. But not Denny."
