It’s Almost the Ides of March, Everybody!
Hurley the Historian says Saturday’s the historic date (March 15, 44 BCE) when Roman Emperor Julius Caesar ignored his soothsayer’s words of warning and went to work that day anyway, whereupon Brutus and the rest of the RINOs in the Senate stabbed him in the back, and the front, and just about every other place on his body. Sounds a little like one of those 2014 Republican Congressional Caucuses, doesn’t it?
Our Quote for Today Committee says “Beware the Ides of March” and “Et tu, Brute” are two of the most remembered lines from all of Shakespeare’s plays.
That’s why the Ides of March is “Political Backstabbers Day.” It’s celebrated as a national holiday by Political Backstabbers and Backstabees (most elected officials have been both), as well as people who’ll knife you in the back just to get ahead, and people in politics you once thought were your friends. The Blower knows who all of you are, and more importantly, you all know that The Blower knows who all of you are. Maybe that’s why Beloved Whistleblower Publisher Charles Foster Kane always sits with his back to the wall when a big backstabber buys his lunch, especially on March 15. Obviously, he learned backstabbers can only get you when your back is turned.
Does anybody remember when Former Hamilton County RINO Party Boss George Vincent (who resigned in disgrace) and local Demo-Labor Party Boss Tim Burka made a deal for their candidates not to stab each other in the back, but Vincent’s replacement (employed at Vincent’s law firm) Alex T., Mall Cop GOP sucked up to liberals working night and day to destroy the GOP, sold his soul to Demonic DemocRAT $tan Che$ley on June 8, 2008, said he wanted his local RINO Party to be a “big tent” (just like the circus), and then got that big tent pole shoved so far up his ass on Election Day in 2008 that the entire Hamilton County turned “Blue” for the first time in history, something The Whistleblower had only been predicting for the previous two years. No wonder Real Republicans still feel they’ve been stabbed in the back.
In Northern Kentucky, Our Good Friend Kenton County Commonwealth Attorney E Rob Sanders says unfortunately, political backstabbing isn’t even a misdemeanor. Eric ‘Call Me Crazy,’ Big Mouth, Most Sanctioned, Ambulance Chaser, No Count of a Radio Host, Shameless Self Promoter, Willie Wannabe, Why Haven’t I Been Disbarred, Who Likes Bulldogs and Failed Roadhouse Operator Deters says every member of the Cabal (including the Lisa Wells WLW Fan Club) out to destroy him and every member of the Kentucky Bar Association is nothing but a backstabber, and everybody’s wondering why Miss Vicki is having an Ides of March Party on Saturday, instead of her customary more traditional St. Patrick’s Day Eve Party on Sunday. Don’t forget, all of you Bluegrass Backstabbers, this year, it’s BYOK (Bring Your Own Knives).
Maysville, Kentucky celebrity George Clooney made a movie called “The Ides of March” in 2011 all about corrupt DemocRAT politicians. Is it any wonder that Nick Clooney’s son shot a few scenes in Greater Cincinnati, even while the Greater Cincinnati Film Commission would have you believe the entire cinematic extravaganza was produced hereabouts? Whistleblower Film Critic Ebert Maltin even can’t remember how Clooney’s cinema fared at the Academy Awards.
Also in 2011, Mitt Romney did his best to help local RINO Party Boss Alex T., Mall Cop GOP keep Hamilton County stay “blue” and sunk a dagger deep into John Kasich’s back, refusing to endorse the Ohio’s Republican Governor’s union-busting Issue 2 issue, that political analysts had long recognized would make Ohio the Political Battleground of the Nation. No wonder Texas Governor Rick Perry’s campaign said Romney was guilty of “finger-in-the-wind politics,” and our Beloved Whistleblower Publisher Charles Foster Kane quoted somebody who said “Dealing with backstabbers, there’s one thing I’ve learned: they are only powerful when your back is turned.”
Last year, more than a few of the people at that big Parking Meter Protest in Oakley were calling Cincinnati Clown-cilgay Chris Squealback a backstabber after he betrayed the constituents by voting in favor of that bogus “Emergency Clause” in the City’s Parking Lot Plot.
This year, Cincinnati Vice Mayor David Man has already agreed to be Grand Marshal at the Backstabbers Day Parade on March 15, where he’ll be leading Clowncilman Flynn Flam and the rest of the Streetcar Six along the route of the Trolley Folly.
Squealback wonders if guys could get married on top of a float, just like at this year’s Rose Bowl Parade.
Diminutive DemocRAT Mayor John Cranley probably won’t attend, but Award-Winning Photo Illustrator Artis Conception will be on hand to make fun of our local politicians, as usual.
But what’s the best part about the Ides of March on March 15? Our good friend Bobby Leach says it’s because it means BB&BJ Day on March 20 is only five days away.
So with the “Ides of March” no more than a few days away, everybody’s been sending in his favorite “Backstabbing” jokes, just to be topical, and The Whistleblower Advisor cautions that by sending a brief memo to a colleague or a superior, you have a paper trail that Backstabber’s can’t erase.
Now it’s time for Our Beloved Whistleblower Motto (Let’s all say it together). Because wherever there’s corruption, we’ll be there. Wherever there’s injustice, we’ll be there. And wherever there’s a bunch of big guys beating up on a little guy, we’ll be there too…holding the little guy down so you can stab him in the back. And that does double for women during Women’s History Month.
Some of our subscribers, especially those who purposely misrepresented their credentials and are not really “Persons of Consequences,” and have their daily Whistleblower e-mails from the Official Voice of the Conservative Agenda summarily cancelled, are probably calling distinguished members of our review committee a bunch of no-good dirty backstabbers. But Beloved Whistleblower Publisher Charles Foster Kane has a message for them— Et tu, you backstabbing bastards!
Today’s Whistleblower is brought to you by a generous donation during our Ides of March fund-raising drive from Backstabbers Anonymous.
Remember: We never print all the bad stuff we know and certain people ought to be damn glad we don’t, especially the winner of the Whistleblower’s 2014 Backstabber of the Year Award.
