We Still Can’t Stop Gloating
CHRISTMAS CAME EARLY at the Whistleblower Newswire’s offices a year ago, and the entire staff stayed up late to put out a special edition to that Corrupt Evicted Lying Plagiarizing Meddling Overblown Bought-and-paid-For Tax-and-Spend Wrinkle-Puss RINO Bitch-in-a-Ditch “Mean Jean” Schmidt had finally been defeated, because the Maggie/Che$ley/Cunningham cabal was unable to save Old Wrinkle-Puss one last time. Beloved Whistleblower Publisher Charles Foster Kane even invited everybody to join The Whistleblower Munchkin Chorus singing, “Ding, Dong, the Witch is Dead.”
Throughout Ohio’s Second Congressional District, you wouldn’t believe the number of people who were trying to take credit for being the one who’d finally driven a wooden steak through “Mean Jean’s” heart, because when the votes were counted, Whistleblower Faux Facebook Friend “Bronze Star Brad” Wenstrup had soundly defeated our Dead Bitch-in-a-Ditch.
But our Quote for Today Committee remembers in 1961, responding to a question by a journalist about the Bay of Pigs, JFK said: “…victory has 100 fathers and defeat is an orphan.”
Hurley the Historian says in 1990, John Boehner got 49% of the vote when he defeated corrupt incumbent Buz Lukens in the Republican Primary. “Bronze Star Brad” only got 48.79%. So if it’s any consolation to Her Meanness, it would appear that Second District Republican voters view her as only slightly less horrible than a convicted sex offender.
And can you believe last year at press time, with 3% of the vote, Fred Kundrata still hadn’t conceded to Wenstrup. Another competing candidate Tony Brush sent an e-mail Wednesday morning (Mean Jean left a voice mail message Tuesday night), but Fred was apparently not yet convinced that the game was finally over. The question then became what would Fred do first: File his FEC report that had been due February 23 (to show where the money was coming from) or concede defeat. The Blower said, “Don’t bet on him doing the classy thing anytime soon.”
Meanwhile, another Whistleblower Faux Facebook Friend “Say It Ain’t So Joe” Braun was posting this message on Facebook: “On August 2, 2005, my friend Jean Schmidt became the first woman to represent the Cincinnati area in the United States House of Representatives. I am proud to have been a part of that tough campaign and the effort that launched her career in Congress. I wish Republican Brad Wenstrup the best of luck representing the Second Congressional District. I have called members of his extended family friends for many years and know them to all be good people. I am certain he will continue the tradition of strong leadership we have been blessed to have in the Second Congressional District.”
BUT HERE’S WHAT REALLY HAPPENED: Whistleblower Pollster Ron Rasmussen says “Mean Jean” had a big lead in name recognition early on, so she didn’t even campaign, and her Axis of Evil (Skaggie Maggie at The Fishwrap, Greedy Hearse-Chasing, Disgraced-DemocRAT Clinton-loving, Fen-Phen Scandal Plagued, Not-yet-Disbarred Trial Attorney $tan Che$ley, and WLW Hate Radio’s Bill Cunningham) got lazy and didn’t launch a last minute attack on “Mean Jean’s” main opponent, as had been their effective strategy in previous campaigns.
And during the last days of the campaign, the utter arrogance of the Schmitheads started to show, like when Mean Jean’s News Flack Barrett Brunsman, despite his very best efforts failed to intimidate Rory Ryan, Publisher & Owner of the Highland County Press (“We’ll stand by Wenstrup endorsement”).
It became a Perfect Storm when the Campaign for Primary Accountability began spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to tell GOP Primary Voters 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.
Meanwhile, Tea Party Patriots even targeted “Mean Jean” by name.
All across Southwest Ohio, political insiders were wondering what the results would have been had there been even one competent person on the Wenstrup Campaign! E-mailing supporters to ask for money at 1:07 AM on the morning after the election before he’d even personally thanked those who might have had a small part in getting him elected was a bit tacky, to say the least.
Among those crying in their milk that Wednesday morning was Republicans for Higher Taxes, a local blog which backed Mean Jean 150. They told us they were going to miss all her votes for higher taxes and bigger government, along with her numerous ethical scandals and public make-out sessions with Barack Obama. They also reported worthless blogging blimp Matt Hurley, a complete Schmidt tool, was starting a hunger strike in protest of Wenstrup’s victory. That could go on a long time with all his excess reserves. And that Schmidthead from Bizzy Blog was probably on suicide watch.
The Schmidtheads were idiotic to the end. When approached by a Mean Jean lackey outside a Blue Ash polling station, a young conservative we’ll call Jeff stated he’d be sure to vote against Schmidt. On the way out, after he passed the lackey and got into his car, the Schmidthead yelled, “Do you like Nancy Pelosi?” With that, Jeff replied, “I don’t like corruption in either party, that’s why I voted for Brad Wenstrup,” and with that got into his car and spent the rest of the day helping Wenstrup and other conservatives.
It was “Mean Jean” who was a good friend to Pelosi. Demographics say Ohio’s Second Congressional District should always be safe for Republicans. But Schmidt’s incompetence required the national GOP to bail her out on three different occasions, which diverted money from GOP candidates in difficult congressional districts who truly needed the help. Schmidt’s inability to do her job cost the Republican Party seats across the country, including in 2006 and 2008 when Republicans were getting waxed. Could Steve Chabot have held off Driehaus in 2008 if the party didn’t have to waste so much money on Schmidt that year? We knew Nancy Pelosi was going to miss Mean Jean far more than the voters around here ever would.
FINALLY, AT YESTERDAY’S MEETING OF THE CONSERVATIVE AGENDA, Political Insiders were asking Charles Foster Kane if he doesn’t miss “Mean Jean” Schmidt just at least a little bit, especially since the New York Times had given our Beloved Whistleblower Publisher credit for “Mean Jean’s” Official Whistleblower Nickname all those years ago. “She may be gone, but she’ll never be forgotten, Kane explained. “Rumor has it that Schmidt and Dennis Kucinich will be opening a charm school.”
Still, things weren’t all that bad for “Mean Jean” on last year’s Primary Election Night. Especially when you consider she wouldn’t have to re-pay the rest of that $500,000 in legal fees to her Turkish attorneys according to the House Ethics Committee, and she can sell all of her autographed State of the Union Programs and live happily off the proceeds for the rest of her life.
Former Members of Congress are required to file a financial disclosure form within 30 days of leaving office. Amazingly, “Mean Jean” broke this ethics rule too. What a surprise!
Was it any wonder this week last year when the Washington Post gave “Mean Jean” its “Worst Week in Washington Award?”
