Those who have been following the ongoing audit saga know that Bobo has been boasting for months that he has learned all about what is going on with the audit, thanks to his ace reporting skills.
Turns out (given the bombshell news report that the DA obtained all of the materials days after the BOS had their SWAT team collect it), that Bobo didn't know jack.
Let's take a look at the highlight reel (or gag reel) featuring infamous Bobo comments on his site:

On a different note, I do think the selectmen need to start releasing more information about the audit soon. I understand why they would want to be thorough and protect the town legally as much as possible, but their relative silence is allowing the opposing to fill the void with all sorts of ridiculous claims.
Bobo, you thought the selectmen were going to release information (and were being careful to figure out the best way to release information) that the DA had already taken away from them, and the bloggers are the ridiculous ones?

I asked Sauvageau about that last week when I called him for comment on the library trustee story. The selectmen might release the audit reports in stages because of the tremendous amount of information now being reviewed.
Bobo, let's get this straight. Sweet Brucey, Chairman of the Board of Selectmen, told you that information that was taken out of the town's hands by the DA's office would be released in a series of reports from the selectmen, because there was too much information being reviewed the town? He told you that information the BOS no longer had was going to be released in installments by the BOS because it was taking them a long time to go over information that was no longer in their possession?
Right, and we're the bad guys here. So, Bobo, since it turned out the DA already had the info when he told you this, why have you not yet torn Sweet Brucey a new asshole in a column for lying to you?
Were you lying for Sweet Brucey (helping him push a cover story to stall and keep critics at bay) or were you Sweet Brucey's Dupe? (i.e. a patsy who unwittingly lied for him). I suppose it's easier to forgive a dupe than a liar, but neither one is a good thing to be when you are a reporter.

He wouldn't say much more than that. It's a little frustrating for me as a reporter. I would like more specific information, but I do understand the scope of this audit and the ramifications it will most certainly have. Selectmen are obviously being very cautious to make sure their report is air-tight with specific evidence.
"Selectmen are obviously being very cautious to make sure their report is air-tight with specific evidence." Wow, Bobo, Walter Kronkite you are NOT. You thought the Selectmen were working to make an air-tight report on information they no longer had?
If a member of the "power elite" had led you astray like this, there would be no end to your journalistic retaliation. But Sweet Brucey and the BOS do it, and you kiss their butts and call it ice cream. I suppose you could write a token jeer, but at this point, it's been days since you reported about the DA story, and you've said nothing critical of the selectmen. No, you went with that stupid Republican plot bullshit instead.
It's sad what a boot licking lackey you have become, Bobo.

I don't think the DA is involved yet because not all the information has been released yet. This audit is just one step in what will certainly be a far bigger investigation.
Allow me to offer the following expert analysis on this quote: BAHHHH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! We've got a regular Tom Brokaw here!

I will say I am troubled that the results of the audit are taking this long. I've been told it's because K&P is going through the results with a fine-tooth comb.
Bobo, don't you feel like an idiot for reporting that K and P was going over information that the town no longer had? Where's the column blasting the shit out of that "source" for duping you, Bobo? If a source lied to you, doesn't he deserve to be revealed as a lying dirt bag? Assuming that's not a source that you pulled out of your ass (that's a big assumption).
By: robertslager on 7/26/09
I was told, off the record, that the audit will result in "life-changing" repercussions for many people. That's all I can say about it right now.
As pointed out between Shooter's Toots in the latest Sweet Brucey and Friends, yes Bobo, moving to a new bathroom office was very life changing for you. Where's the column blasting this source that duped you? (Again, assuming this source wasn't also pulled from your butt).
FINAL ANALYSIS
These are just a few of the many hilarious comments that Bobo has been throwing out to make people think that he's in the know about the audit and that BOS supporters should not worry, because when the audit comes out, the power elite are screwed. Turns out, that's not the case at all.
Was Bobo lying or was Bobo a dupe? The world may never know, but what we do know is this - If Bobo does not publish a scathing column that takes Sweet Brucey to the proverbial woodshed and spank him upside down and inside out with the jeer stick, then he should hang his head in shame as a lackey, used as a dupe and didn't even have the balls to take on the town official that duped him.
Frankly, even such a column (not a jeer, Bobo, a full Brucey bashing column) would be useless for him, at this point. The instant he found out about the DA, he should have taken Sweet Brucey to the woodshed. Any response he gives on this now will obviously be because of this posting - a loser trying to save face now that he's been exposed as a dupe and a Sweet Brucey stooge.
Bobo, I'll never understand your devotion to Sweet Brucey, to the point that you flushed your own credibility down the toilet.
Show some class for once in your life and resign immediately.

I PREDICT THAT RAGBOY WILL COMPLETLEY IGNORE THIS AND WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SPIN OUT OF THIS ONE. THANKS HAM FOR YOUR EXCELLENT REPORTING ABILITIES. MAYBE YOU SHOULD START YOUR OWN PAPER

Zero credibility......That is what happens when you act like you are "in the know" and then it blows up in your face. I think he should shut down completely after being revealed as a cub reporter. No journalist would ever fall for the sources he has fallen for. So......
Zero ability to research
Zero journalist ethics=
ZERO CREDIBILITY!

If I was one of ragboy's devotees---mslilly, angeljoe etc.---I would not be able to ignore this. No one can believe a word ragboy writes. Your exposing him for what he is, Ham is well done.
THERE IS NO REASON TO READ THE RAG SINCE YOU CANNOT TRUST A WORD THAT HAS BEEN WRITTEN THERE. Therefore, everything he writes is meaningless.
I can't count the number of times ragboy wrote in his rag that he only tells the truth. Of course, he usually said that right before a huge lie--oh, excuse me--minor factual error.

Did anyone think that maybe just maybe Robert Slager is actually telling the truth. Maybe the "life changing" event he is referring to is a set of red (or maybe yellow) prison jump suits for the 5 members of the Wareham board of selectmen. That would certainly be "life changing" for the selectmen. It would also be "life changing" for the town. Maybe just maybe we should not sell Robert Slager so short.

There are several examples of Slager using "sources" or citizens complaining to him. The entire racial baiting incident started when an un-named citizen or couple of citizens came to him about the exclusion of Cape Verdeans from the TBW meeting. He organized a silent protest that included two people (John Donanue and Robert Slager) Where was this anonymous sources? Apparently not at the protest. He claimed he had several phone calls to support him, but they chose not to attend his silent protest.
Too many times, Slager uses anonymous sources as a base to attack anyone against the Selectmen. It's clear he used sources to discuss his vast knowledge of the audit, even though the material was confiscated by the DA in June. Hmmm, exactly where are these sources now? I know I'd be mad if I organized a silent protest or put my reputation on the line about the audit, and these sources either don't show up or lied. Are we going to hear how mad he is or will he just keep attacking anyone against the Selectmen? I guess we are going to have to wait and see what happens!

This WAS the "silent" protest. I could be wrong, but NOBODY appears to be Cape Verdean.

Dear Bobo's Followers on Bobo's Site,
We haven't had any luck in getting an answer from Bobo the Brucey Dupe as to why he has not called for Sweet Brucey's resignation for lying to him. As you can see from the quotes above, Bobo was lied to by Sweet Brucey - you can see that from quotes that came from Bobo himself.
Are you all really that dumb that you'll keep following a so-called reporter that was that so easily duped by Brucey? Or do you enjoy being Bobo's dupes?
Brucey has his Bobo the Brucey Dupe, and Bobo has his own collection of dupes that pay him 5 bucks a month to be duped. It's a dupe-fest over there.

I am new to the site, so you all may have already covered this, but to my mind one of Slager's finest misuses of sources is his "former trustee" source who was afraid to speak out publicly, but was quite candid about what went on in the trustees' meetings. Some of us who really did know what was going on (but could not speak at the time) were quite befuddled by the fact that his source, an alleged trustee, got just about all of her information wrong.

Ptolemaeus,
Slager has no sources, in my opinion. He makes it up as he goes. That was obvious during the Town wide audit. He doesn't leave his computer long enough to do research. If he can't make it up or find it on here, he has no news.
