Derek Good, knucklehead phony
When is being a paratrooper in the 82d Airborne Division not good enough? Apparently when you’re a County Commissioner in Georgia (Atlanta Journal Constitution link);
Resentment has been building since June, when Good stepped down from his campaign for a third term after his claims of service as an Army Ranger and an earned bachelor’s degree were challenged by the local newspaper, the Cherokee Ledger News. Good, who did serve in the 82nd Airborne Division, admitted he did not serve in the Rangers and lied about a business degree from the University of Maryland.
Thanks to Claymore for the link.

Yah Mike, it’s not like you have to put in any time or effort to be a Ranger….you don’t just get to be a Ranger ‘cuz you want to…

Tool (and a half-assed one at that).

this is a wonderful site where all of you have nothing better to do then talk smack about people
Keep it up, Angelo, and I’ll publish your emails on here, too, jerkwad.
Let us have him, Jonn.
Derek Good was a liar from day one. He also attacked people locally, who outed him. He curried favor from Garrison and had people arrested who knew his background.
