Wake's GOP Commissioners -- all three -- make asses of themselves

Posted by Bob Geary on Tue, Dec 8, 2009 at 4:37 PM

Great reporting by the N&O's Josh Shaffer, which allows only one conclusion: Wake County Commissioner Tony Gurley, pretender to the chairman's seat, has lost his mind, perhaps in the same location where his fellow Republican Commissioners Joe Bryan and Paul Coble lost theirs. It's a must-read ... and a must-remember.

One question: Democrat Betty Lou Ward has been on the Board of County Commissioners for 21 ydears, and she didn't know that when she left the room without asking to be excused, she was opening the door to the Republicans' trick? Of course she did. Still, the Republicans's behavior, which lasted all night and into the morning hours, was inexcusable. What were they doing, trying to out-boor the Republicans on the Wake school board?

I actually know what's in the water. I've been studying the effects of oxidane (dihydrogen oxide) on human behaviour. Turns out that there is a strong link between the chemical solvent and politics! EVERY Republican we've studied who has injested this solvent has been a douchebag! EVERY ONE of them. Not sure about the arrogance at this point though.

Wow. Between the school board and these three commissioners, one has to wonder what is it in the water of Wake County that makes its Republicans arrogant douchebags?

I couldn't say it any better - nor as short and to the point of Bob's.
