These are the idiotic people I am forced to deal with on a daily basis. This is why I blog. If I didn't my friggin head would explode.

Bush lost, not Katz

The election is over and John Street won. It's important to note, however, that the loser in this race wasn't Sam Katz but perhaps President Bush.

The federal probe into impropriety at City Hall was seen as a Republican dirty trick engineered at the federal level. The campaign was no longer Street vs. Katz but rather Street vs. Bush. A Republican win in a Democrat-dominated city would have given Republicans national-level bragging rights. They would have claimed that the win reaffirmed the Republican vision.

But the perception of White House impropriety overshadowed or at least was equal to the perception of City Hall impropriety. This broad public reaction only holds bad news for the President as he prepares to wage his reelection campaign next year.

Ed my man, Bush never came to campaign for Katz. In fact Ed, Katz never wanted Bush to assist him and Bush couldn't give a damn about campaigning here because he'll never win the city. You see Ed, may I call you Ed? Oh never mind, I'll just call you Dumbass. The reason that Street won the election was because He pulled out the RACECARD. You know what that is don't you? He claimed that it was all a conspiracy against the BLACKMAN. Evil George W. Bush decided, in between dealing with a potentially tough reelection bid, numerous places where troops are in harms way, and the myriad other things he deals with on a daily basis, that having a WHITE mayor in an inconsequential city was at the top of his list. Let's see, two Republican governorships in the latest election and a mid-term win last year that astounded everyone. I bet George is really pissed that the bug was found and Street won. I find it interesting that the Police Commissioner's son, an FBI agent was the first (a coincidence) on the scene.

The election was won by Street for one simple reason, He was losing the election and played the RACECARD. Philadelphians were suckered into voting for a Mayor who will be mired in scandal for the next four years. Congratulations dumbass, I hope the flight of the middle-class taxpayers from the city and the subsequent business loss makes you happy.
