Jim Fouts, that wild and crazy mayor of Warren who was secretly recorded ranting like Christopher Moltisanti on the Sopranos, apologized.
In a scene out the Sopranos, Fouts, wearing sunglasses, apologized for the rantings on Thursday to the people of Warren at a gathering for National Prayer Day in front of City Hall, according to Fox2.
"I gave in to anger," the mayor said. "I apologize to the people of Warren... for the choice of my words. I am truly ashamed and embarrassed about it."
An appointee of the mayor secretly recorded Fouts during a phone conversation in which he ranted about two former employees. The Miichigan State Police is investigating the threats.
"If I saw him in the (expletive) street and had a baseball bat I would beat the (expletive) down to the (expletive) ground," Fouts in the recording. "It would take me just a little bit to find a (expletive) gun and blow his (expletive) head off. That's how pissed off I am."
