Top Ten List
Today it’s the top ten excuses Hamilton County Municipal Court Judge Brad Greenberg gave his wife after she caught him with a couple of floozies at the Horseshoe Casino:
10. They were just volunteers for my next campaign.
9. I was considering their appeal.
8. They’re moonlighting from their day jobs as bailiffs at the Courthouse.
7. They wanted to show me their ankle monitor bracelets.
6. They asked me if I had a gavel in my pocket.
5. They were trying to sell me some hair restorer.
4. They wanted to make sure my wife wasn’t wearing the same outfit.
3. Jerry Springer introduced us.
2. Floozies? What Floozies?
…And the number one excuse Hamilton County Municipal Court Judge Brad Greenberg gave his wife after she caught him with a couple of floozies at the Horseshoe Casino was… Hamilton County RINO Party Boss Alex T., Mall Cop GOP said my wife would never find out.
PLAYGROUND POLITICS: How childish was it when Obama cancelled all the White House tours during Spring Break and blamed it on the sequester, but he sent First Daughter Malia to NYC with eight friends, four adult chaperones and five secret service members. The group was spotted at giant Chelsea restaurant Buddakan, dining on rock shrimp, edamame dumplings, short ribs, lobster fried rice and noodles. How many sequestered jobs might that little trip have saved?
Maybe that’s why Bernard Goldberg calls Obama “A President We Can’t Be Proud Of.”
Meanwhile in Washington, our DC Newsbreaker says that Congressional Hearing on Global Warming had to be cancelled because of a snowstorm. How ironic is that?
- THE LATEST POLLS: Whistleblower Pollster Ron Rasmussen says Obama’s non-stop fear mongering is not paying off. A new ABC News Poll reports 61% of Americans now favor Sequester Spending Cuts.
- WENSTRUP’S WOBBLES: It didn’t take long for Ohio Second District Congressman “Bronze Star Brad” Wenstrup to disappoint Tea Party activists by voting to keep ObamaCare in a Continuing resolution in the Congress. Unfortunately, every congressman from Ohio did the same thing, including Steve Chabothead. Chabothead was incensed that his loyal lap dog, George Brunemann was unanimously defeated in his attempt to continue to lead the Cincinnati Tea Party. Hamilton County RINO Party shill Brunemann always had his nose up Chabothead’s butt at each Tea Party meeting, and Chabothead grew to like it.
Now Brunemann is continuing his shill work by discouraging pissed off Tea Party loyalists from protesting the Green Township Trustees’ decision to let more Section 8 Housing into their community. Brunemann used the Tea Party Constant Contact account list to attack his club members and ask that the NIMBY trustees, who live miles away from the Section 8 Housing they approved, not be held accountable for their actions.
- IN CLERMONT COUNTY: At Tuesday night’s overflowing Clermont County Tea Party meeting, the Second Amendment was the main topic last night and Sheriff Rodenberg even got a standing ovation for his remarks about standing with the people. We would’ve expected nothing less from one of Beloved Whistleblower Publisher Charles Foster Kane’s Whistleblower Faux Facebook Friends.
“Taxkiller Tom” Brinkman was seen passing out anti Peter Stautberg leaflets and telling the 200+ crowd that $tate Rep-tile FOR $ALE Pete $tautberg is the best State Rep-tile money can buy and that Pete won’t repudiate Ohio Republican Governor Kasich Taylor’s ObamaCare expansion. “Taxkiller” encouraged all those in attendance to register to vote at their children’s and grandchildren’s homes in Anderson Township so they can vote for him a year from now.
Those in attendance noted that during most meetings a strange man is seen lurking in the back of the room, hiding in the shadows and glad handing all the establishment politicians that come and go. Armstrong Rhemus told the crowd that the person they remember seeing at most meetings was State Rep-tile John Becker. But ever since Becker was elected, they hardly see him around anymore. Seems he has fallen in with the lobbyist from the big cities and enjoys going to all of their parties and events with free alcohol and food. A photo of Becker was seen on a TV news web site enjoying free eats and booze at the Horseshoe Casino grand opening. Armstrong Rhemus bluntly asked Becker, “Are you quitting the Tea Party for some reason?” Becker said he would respond as soon as he finished his free eats and booze.
CH SNITCH AT 1000 MAIN STREET When a Cincinnati Police officer was charged with improper use of police equipment, the indictment and case number were on Tracy Winkler’s Clerk of Courts web page in twenty minutes. [SEE CASE B 1301282] But Hamilton County Sheriff employee Mickey Esposito was charged with theft from the sheriff’s property room, his indictment and case number are still unavailable three weeks later. Who ordered this cover-up?- REVOLTING REPUBLICANS: The Hamilton County RINO Party is still beating the bushes to find people to attend next week’s Lincoln-Reagan Day Dinner to honor our ObamaCare-Loving Governor Kasich Taylor. They’re even offering online reservations. Angry Tea Party Activists, on the other hand, want to know where they can sign up for the boycott so they can send in their RSVPs. And when the RINOs hold their so-called “Campaigns School” on March 23, will they be paying people to attend? Certainly anything these people could teach you wouldn’t be worth paying for.
PARKING PAINS: Republicans for Higher Taxes endorses the Dohoney parking plan because they believe it will lead to a big tax hike in two years. Here’s why: this deal sacrifices most of the annual parking system proceeds to get a lump sum to piss away today. In two years the budget will still be unbalanced, but the annual proceeds from parking will be significantly reduced, creating an even larger budget gap than before. This makes a large tax increase more likely, as if that gang at City Hall ever needs a new excuse.- HURLEY THE HISTORIAN says on this date in 1876, 29-year-old Alexander Graham Bell patented the telephone, but it wasn’t until many years later that Time Warner started stealing the phone company’s customers.
Maybe that’s why our Quote for Today Committee chose then-President, the former Cincinnati City Solicitor, Congressman, and Two-Term Ohio Governor, Republican Rutherford B. Hayes’ “An amazing invention – but who would ever want to use one?” Do you think they’re teaching any of that at the Failed Cincinnati Public Schools and the Forrest Gump School District these days, when they’re not illegally campaigning for higher taxes on over-taxed payers’ time?
Last year on this date, Defeated Congresswoman “Mean Jean” Schmidt was sending out an e-mail cancelling her big Schmidt for Congress event scheduled for the Ides of March. Talk about an omen! Bob McEwen remembers it well. Our Revered Former Congressman is in Seoul, Korea, speaking at the Presidential Prayer Breakfast today.
- DOWN AT THE FISHWRAP: Metro Mole says Editor Wedgie Washburn claims next Monday’s new Fishwrap will “Fit your hands, your life.” That sounds like something Disgraced Anderson Township Trustee Kevin O’Brien would say.
And is Forest Hills Urinal Editor Eric Spangler finally allowing ace investigative reporter Lisa Wakeland to ask if townships should be able to recall masturbating trustees? It’s about time.
IN NORTHERN KENTUCKY: Bluegrass Bureau Chief Ken CamBoo says NoKY continues to be a whirlwind of political forecasts and in Boondoggle County , Judge No Moore firmly believes he will get re-elected. Contender Commissioner Matt Dedden is having a bit of time getting folks to warm up to him. While he seems to have the right agenda, he definitely needs a media team along with someone to help him dress appropriately for public appearances. Meanwhile, The Blower has learned that Commissioner Knochleman plans to run against Arlinghaus for that top spot in Kenton County. This is sure to cause another civil war within the GOP there.
There is no doubt that Judge Defectives No Moore and Spendery would love to knock Arlinghaus off and get their yes-men back for their favorite spending projects, like TANK and SD1. The conservative pendulum could really swing the other way if No Moore gets beat and “Give Em Hell “Sell beats Spendery. What remains to be seen is how the various and disconnected Tea Parties will play this. Will the Boone units get behind Deadman Dedden? Will the Kenton Teas be able to keep the NoKY Tea noses out of their affairs and protect Arlinghaus? And will the Campbell Teas realize that “Give Em Hell” has the best chance of winning with a conservative platform that would actually make it possible to put some of their members on boards and commissions? Otherwise, it seems that the Tea Parties might support third party primary candidates and this would simply help the incumbents that they hope to replace. WTF and WTH, right?
The undercover Blower from Boondoggle County has once again beaten The Fishwrap on a story at good ole CVG. Seems the Fire Chief there put a bunch of teachers in the aircraft fire trainer to give them some hands on experience. Unfortunately, teachers left the plane with singed heads and a whole lot less hair. Word is that the KY Fire Commission is investigating, which means higher fares due to stupid fire trick litigation.
Our own Fire Marshall Bill from Boone says that he has learned that an additional fare hiker is the fire prevention officer who stays on shift but doesn’t count as manpower. WTF? We are not sure, but it seems there are not a whole lot of fire prevention activities anywhere, especially the airport, that require an assigned person after business hours. Seems the board has managers that like to pay overtime at the fire department. Don’t worry, they will fund it by your $1,000 ticket to Pittsburgh.
NOTE: 22 years ago in The Whistleblower, the CamBoozler was but a lowly columnist and the legendary J. R. Hatfield was our Northern Kentucky Bureau Chief. Back then, J.R. was complaining that he sometimes felt like “BeanBall Jim” Bunning every time he was passed over by the section committee of the Bluegrass Journalism Hall of Fame. (BeanBall wasn’t inducted until 1996.)
FINALLY, YESTERDAY AT A BRIBE LUNCH, a political insider was shocked to find out that members of the Ohio General Assembly had been invited to receive VIP treatment at the Grand Opening of the Horseshoe Casino in downtown Cincinnati. These elected officials, who allegedly represent us, were feted with free food, alcohol and parking. It is also believed they received a handful of free gifts. Dare we say “bribes?”
Beloved Whistleblower Publisher Charles Foster Kane says, “If any loyal reader knows anything about this or better still has pictures to identify those State Legislators, The Blower will be happy to provide all the space they would ever hope for in an upcoming e-dition.
