What a List of Losers These Guys Are
- Whistleblower Senior National Political Affairs Analyst Britt Humus says with only “256” days more days until the 2012 Presidential Elections, Obama’s re-election campaign has scraped the bottom of the barrel to come up with 35 state, local, and community leaders as unpaid national co-chairs, or “ambassadors” for the president, to play a high-profile role in defending his record and mobilizing voters for November. No wonder a loser like Disgraced DemocRAT Former Ohio Gayvenor Ted Strickland is on that list.
Maybe that’s why our Quote for Today Committee chose its words of wisdom from William Lyon Phelps: “If at first you don’t succeed, find out if the loser gets anything.”
- Hurley the Historian says on this date in 1945, U.S. Marines from the 3rd Platoon, E Company, 2nd Battalion, 28th Division raised the American flag on Iwo Jima, but these days all of our enemies are waiting for Obama to raise the White Flag.
- Last night in Arizona, in The World According to Newt, the contrast on the CNN debate stage was clear: two squabbling, fatally flawed candidates with timid solutions that can’t change Washington, versus a proven national leader with bold solutions that will upend Washington.
Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum backed out of the Georgia debate and are avoiding others because they know debates make this contrast obvious. Mitt the Massachusetts Moderate can’t hide behind millions in negative ads on the debate stage, and polls show his record is catching up with him. Debating Newt is a risk he can’t afford.
- Checking out some of the Conservative Political Cartoon Captions, we see the Mt. Rushmore monument to some of our greatest presidents compared along side of Obama’s “Mountain of Debt,” Obama’s answer to massive unemployment, staggering debt, Iran’s nuclear threat, and record high gasoline prices is four more years.
Now here’s The Blower’s solution to high gasoline prices.
- Meanwhile, Obsessive Obama Supporters Tom and Rose says the Obama re-election Campaign at the White House is spam-gramming their e-mail list with an offer for a chance to have dinner with Obama for only a $2 donation. No kidding. “These meals are one simple thing that sets this campaign apart,” Tom explained to Rose. “The $2 seats at Obama’s table don’t belong to any Washington lobbyist or powerful interest.”
- Now compare that with the price of tickets to have a Black History Month moment when Michelle jets in at Over-Taxed Payers’ Expense for lunch at the Westin on Thursday. For $250, you get a crappy wallet sized photo with a stamped autograph, and a $10,000 donation might get you an autographed poster. Such a deal! By the way, was the Empty Uppity Oprah Winfrey Campaigning for Obama, Under-funded, Ugly-ass Poorly-Planned Unnagraown Rayroe Museum Not-so-Free-dom Center already booked, or does Michelle not want to be caught dead down there, just like everybody else.
- In Columbus, Buckeye Bureau Chief Gerry Manders says Republican Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel has a way to cure Ohio’s Disingenuous DemocRAT Sherrod Brown’s D.C. property tax problems. Can you guess what it is?
- Also in Columbus, our Statehouse Snitch says there’s an all-out war splitting Ohio Republicans between Ohio RINO Party Boss Kevin DeWhine and Governor John Kasich. But The Blower should mention Secretary of State Jon Husted, who wants to run for Governor in 2016. Guess whose side he’s on.
- Another story the local Fishwrap has missed is coverage of our old corporate raider and thief, Jim Rogers, whom everyone with any memory at all will recall, came to town from rural Indiana and got his sorry ass elected head of Cinergy. After a few years he engineered the sale of our gas and electric company to Duke Energy in Charlotte, NC, which performed so well during that little windstorm two years ago when everyone’s electricity went out and staid out for weeks in some cases.
Jimmy personally got $25 million for making that sweetheart deal, plus got himself named CEO of Duke Energy at an even more outrageous salary than he bamboozled the old CG&E Board into paying him. Jimmy and his wife Mary Anne have contributed $210,000 to Obama and the D-RATS along the way, and he’s raising $15 million for the Dems and having Duke guarantee another $10 million loan for their convention in Charlotte.
The pay back so far: a cool $230.4 million from the Obama stimulus bill to Duke for “green energy” projects, which Obama bragged created under 200 jobs (Can anyone figure out that amounts to per job?) plus an extra $350,000 to help GM make Volts (that nobody wants to buy).
Next stop for Jimmy is reportedly an opening as Obama’s Secretary of Energy during his second term. Charlotte will probably have him figured out by then and he’d have had to move again anyway—but who knows, maybe he’ll still have that Board enough under his thumb to get another humongous good bye fee from them, too.
- Cincinnati city manager Dough Boy Honey’s Kentucky pal and total yes-person Hilary Bohannon, (who may not be a woman), director of city human resources, finally left the job at the beginning of this year. No one in Cincinnati will miss Bohannon.
Bohannon’s primary function was to give African American city employees anything they want, hire more blacks and carry out anything Dough Boy Honey told him to do, no matter how wrong or how stupid it was. Bohannon never had an original thought in his life.
There are 236,482 stories in the Queen City. This has been one of them.
- Trouble-making Tailgater Tino Delgato says Dusty Baker named Johnny Cueto as the Reds Opening Day starting pitcher. The last two Reds opening Day pitchers (Volquez 2011 and Harang 2010) are playing for San Diego. The guess here is IF the Reds do not make the playoffs, Dusty will join them. Go Figure!!!
- After our piece yesterday about Icky Vicky Wulsin (Millionaire-Indian Hill) being considered for the post of Hamilton County coroner, Icky Vicky has withdrawn her name from consideration.
As we wrote, it seems her eager participation in the malaria-therapy issue of injecting AIDs patients with the malaria disease–and lying about it–was too formidable an obstacle. That and her “mystery” Africa organization called Soteni and many other issues caused the lazy Indian Hill millionaire dilettante and Hamilton County Dem chairman Tim Burka to think twice about naming her to the coroner’s position.
Wulsin, the social climber who is from Elyria, Ohio, and hates the Cincinnati area, married into the Wulsin family Baldwin Piano money and lives on a hilltop in Indian Hill. As a person, she’s a total loser.
Further, on the Icky Vicky Wulsin topic, our reader Mariah from Indian Hill wrote in, saying, “Wulsin started off her many losing political campaigns wearing hippy granny floor-length dresses. In later campaigns, she began wearing her dead mother-in-law’s silk clothing. She’s never been accepted in Indian Hill society and the only thing speaking for her was her husband’s millions. She mistreats her servants and she’s never even been to a grocery store. She has a grossly self-inflated view of herself.”
- So why is The Campaign for Primary Accountability spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to tell GOP Primary Voters in Ohio’s Second Congressional District not to vote for That Corrupt Evicted Lying Plagiarizing Meddling Overblown Bought-and-paid-For Tax-and-Spend Wrinkle-Puss RINO Bitch-in-a-Ditch Mean Jean Schmidt?
That distinguished group quotes Citizens for Responsibility & Ethics in Washington, which tells us how our Bitch-in-a-Ditch promised to oppose the $700 billion corporate bailout, but voted for it anyway, because Mean Jean’s Henpecked Husband Peter was employed by Smith Barney, whose parent company, Citigroup, received $50 billion from the bailout she voted for.
- Down at the Hamilton County RINO Party, Party Boss Alex T., Mall Cop GOP had his Disguised DemocRAT Political Director e-mail everybody an inspiring tribute to the Father of our County yesterday on Washington’s Birthday. It was really patriotic until the end, when it said “Help us kickoff our 2012 fundraising campaign by making a donation today.”
- Republican State Rep-tile Wannabe Mike Wilson, who seems to have taken the Tea Party Logo off his advertising this time around, has a new radio ad with everybody under the sun endorsing him. But could this be a sign of desperation? He’s running against a total nobody in the primary in only 12 more days.
- Now our Sorehead in the Suburbs wonders how he can become an “UN-registered Republican?” He’s had enough of these morons with their sound-byte robo-calls and survey attempts. They’re worse than telemarketers!
- And apparently members of the Failed Cincinnati Federation of Teachers failed to receive the memo that Senate Bill 5 was defeated in November. However, that didn’t stop the teachers from piling into National Association of Letter Carriers on Colerain Avenue during a recent OHIO AFL-CIO sponsored “continue to defeat SB5” meeting. Only failed CP$ teachers can continue to defeat something that has already been defeated. Go ahead…put a levy on the ballot in May, they will probably defeat themselves.
- And for the Celebrity Obsessed among us: their long local nightmare in now over. Over at The Fishwrap, radio-TV blogger John Quichwarmer breathlessly reported TV 5 finally announced Mike Dardis had been hired to be Sheree Paolello’s 5 PM pretty-boy co-anchor and report for the 11 p.m. news, starting in April. And here at The Blower, Award Winning Photo Illustrator Artis Conception shows us how impressed he is.
- In Clermont County, only a dozen Republicans have expressed interest in filling the county commissioner vacancy left when Tea Party Guy Archie Wilson resigned in disgrace after being set up in a drugs-for-sex scandal in Northern Kentucky. Clermont Crony-in-Chief Tim Rudd says, “It’s a good thing there’ll only be a dozen Republicans in the race, or else there’d never be enough local skanks like Amanda to go around.”
- And with less than two weeks until the primary elections, everybody’s waiting to see how soon the Forest Hills Urinal will be endorsing the Forrest Gump School District’s humongous tax hike, so township property owners of $200,000 houses can pay $2,000-a-year to support the greedy teachers and administrators. “Not that it matters much,” says WLW Hate Radio’s Darryl Parks, “since you can’t tell their editorials from their so-called news coverage.
- Also in Anderson, yesterday was Ash Wednesday and Cincinnati Archbishop Dennis Schnurr called for prayer and fasting during Lent this year as part of a campaign for religious liberty. Beloved Whistleblower Publisher Charles Foster Kane hopes his next-door neighbor’s efforts against Obama’s new health care rules are more successful than the Church’s efforts to keep Obama out of the White House in the first place.
- Finally, at yesterday’s meeting of the Conservative Agenda, Political Insiders were asking Beloved Whistleblower Publisher Charles Foster Kane about that Bribe Lunch he was enjoying at Uno’s on Presidents’ Day, where that lobbyist from Columbus was trying to explain why none of $tate Rep-tile for $ale Peter $tautberg’s 56 financial supporters lives in the 27th Ohio House District.
That group also wanted a full report on Wednesday’s scheduled production session at Anderson Community Television, where the CFK-TV Production Crew is developing public access TV programming.
People who want to be celebrities on TV are already sending their creative concepts and links to their videos to CFK-TV@whistleblower-newswire.com,” and some of the folks on the CFK-TV Production Crew had an idea for our very own station I.D., although we could always use more.
Bluegrass Ballots
- Bluegrass Bureau Chief Ken CamBoo wonders if the GOP Presidential Primaries aren’t decided on Super Tuesday and Kentucky’s 45 delegates become important on May 22 in only 89 more days, will we see all those Presidential Primary hopefuls and surrogates in Northern Kentucky, like we’re seeing on the North Shore these days? Advance men from all the campaigns are already scouting the area for good photo-op locations.
- Ken CamBoo says the Obama Administration is all excited about the troops who accidently burned a Koran while trying to stay warm over in Afghanistan. Ken says, “These kids were educated in America and if they aren’t taught what a Bible is, how the hell do we expect them know what a Koran is when it isn’t even written in English.”
- Ken CamBoo said the Tea Party folks are waiting to see how our legislators vote on several bills that could come up in the next couple days. The Tea Partiers are waiting to see if any of these bills pass 93-0 in the House and 38-0 in the Senate like HB 262 did in 2009, when people like Judge Once Moore asked for a law that would make sure all Overtaxed Payers in Boondoggle County paid all their taxes or they could lose their homes to predator lenders. It seems like the only time our legislators are able to come up with a unanimous vote is when they need to be sure to get all the money they can from the Overtaxed Payers and some of these upcoming votes will do exactly that.
- Finally, our good friend Rick “The BatBoy” Robinson sent us this joke he just wrote for his new book, which he proudly claims is the “Mother of All Ethnic Jokes.”
An Englishman, a Scotsman, an Irishman, a Welshman, a Latvian, a Turk, a German, an Indian, several Americans (including a Southerner, a New Englander, and a Californian, an Argentinean, a Dane, an Australian, a Slovakian, an Egyptian, a Japanese, a Moroccan, a Frenchman, a New Zealander, a Spaniard, a Russian, a Guatemalan, a Colombian, a Pakistani, a Malaysian, a Croatian, a Uzbek, a Cypriot, a Pole, a Lithuanian, a Chinese, a Sri Lankan, a Lebanese, a Cayman Islander, a Ugandan, a Vietnamese, a Korean, a Uruguayan, a Czech, an Icelander, a Mexican, a Finn, a Honduran, a Panamanian, an Andorran, an Israeli, a Venezuelan, a Fijian, a Peruvian, an Estonian, a Brazilian, a Portuguese, a Liechtensteiner, a Mongolian, a Hungarian, a Canadian, a Moldovan, a Haitian, a Norfolk Islander, a Macedonian, a Bolivian, a Cook Islander, a Tajikistani, a Samoan, an Armenian, an Aruban, an Albanian, a Greenlander, a Micronesian, a Virgin Islander, a Georgian, a Bahaman, a Belarusian, a Cuban, a Tongan, a Cambodian, a Qatari, an Azerbaijani, a Romanian, a Chilean, a Kyrgyzstani, a Jamaican, a Filipino, a Ukrainian, a Dutchman, an Ecuadorian, a Costa Rican, a Swede, a Bulgarian, a Serb, a Swiss, a Greek, a Belgian, a Singaporean, an Italian, a Norwegian and 47 Africans all from different African countries all walk into a fine restaurant.
The maître d’ scrutinized the group one by one, and then barred them all from entering, saying, “Sorry, you can’t come in here without a Thai.”
We be though Graydon Head & Ritchey partnership meetings are a barrel of laughs.
