....Five and one quarter, Five and one half ...

There have been many times where I have pondered shutting down this blog. Each time I have asked friends about doing so they have asked me not to do so, "it has merit" is the usual response. I have watched, ney ... allowed ... personal friends to be maligned by bloggers on this site. I know the intricities of the truth, while others presume to know. I find it disappointing that untruths are posted here. It is unfortunately the nature of the beast. My grandfather would tell me time and again ... "it is better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you are stupid than open it and prove it". What a wise man my grandfather was ....

Wow! That was a great, and well thought out commercial. I commend Delores Brewer for her attention to detail, and respectful way of stating her opinion. (sarcasm font clearly on) My one question, is she campaigning for Roy now? I was fairly indifferent, but will now vote for Roy because she is one unstable S.O.B!

Wow! Looks sure can be deceiving. Just from her pictures she looks like a classy lady. But, my pot bellied pig has more class in his curly tail than that woman does in her whole body.

new kalb video blog includes both ads:
Campaign Ads - What Do You Think?
kalb snip:
We waited until there were ads running from both candidates in the race for Mayor of Alexandria before we asked what you think.

Delores Brewer has released a new ad with a superimposed pigs nose over her opponents face. Jacques Roy is running an ad talking about cleaning up city government.
Do you think the ads will be a success for the candidates? And what questions do have for them? Please let us know by posting your comments below the Video Blog.

Delores Brewer needs either psychiatric help, her blueblood wannabe ass kicked, or both. Not only is the only thing in her campaign a lie about connecting Jacques with a CLECO settlement, now that no class bitch run a commerical with a pig nose on Jacques. I also think that whatever dumbass fool was able to have brought himself to rape her needs his head examined too.
Delores drop out and move away, you are embarassing us. This psycho bitch cannot become Mayor of Alexandria.

I think that Jacques should run an add of the garden district rapist taking her from behind while she and her family eat at a pig tough.

I agree that the 2 complained of posts are, at the very least, as lacking in taste as the Delores' pig commercial. However, I have been reading this Blog, for several months, and have seen much vulgarity, poor taste and name calling. Ayy time there was a complaint, many of you shouted absolute freedom of speech. So the owner of this Blog, who provides us this outlet for free, is once again caught in the middle of a censorship argument.
I personally believe, if he has the time, that it would be best to censor vulgar, vile, and personal attacks. However, if the owner decides to do so, I hope that he applies it equally across the board, no matter who the poster is and no matter who is being attacked in such a way. Some people obviously do not deserve to have absolute freedom of speech, which lawmaakers have learned over the past asnd which is why they have slander and defamation laws, obscenity laws and etc... Sorry more duties are being forced upon you Antics, and for no compensation.

Anonymous said...

No, Jacques told us the truth. He is keeping his word. I is showing moral decency and genuine personal integrity and ethic.

Has anyone confirmed Delores's statements with Jock or Rick. I can assure you that is Jock Scott is city attorney, Bridget and Kelvin are toast. I can't imagine Albin pushing him arround either. But then I couldn't imagine that first press release he authored. Jock won't be the city attorney. It will be some payback dumbass that will show up, be quiet, and listen to Albin. He ain't spending this kind of jack to get left at the curb.

And I am told the verbal threat and attack on ned by albin is true. Ned really is a decent guy and maybe even a hero in his own way.

a brown pig??????

Anonymous said...

Mr. Antics, it's your party but Delores put her rape out there as cheap political currency in a way that demeans and belittle other victims of raped and violence that don't appear to celebrate their rape as enthusiastically as Delores does, and, I am told, always has.

Anonymous said...

When Bridgett is mentioned in the commercial, a brown pig flashes on the screen.

When the two lawyers from BR are mentioned, two white pigs appear.

Seems like obvious race-baiting.

KALB should not have agreed to run the commercial because it tells a LIE.

EMS is not getting 50%, and Delores KNOWS THIS. She's LYING AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN. On television, on radio, here on the Internet, and door-to-door.

Anonymous said...

I believe that IF Jock and Rick accepted the positions in advance, now, and committed to serve in those capacities for extended periods, years, I might have to with Delores. Jock would stand up to Albin. Rick would have a lot of experience and be very effective. I don't believe they are considering it. They just gave Delores permission to say they were so somebody somewhere would have reason to consider voting for her.

Anonymous said...

The persons or person who spoke of Delores' rape in such a derogatory manner is totally disgusting. I bet if Roy knew about this, he would be mortified. And if not, he doesn't deserve to be in this race. There are many people who plan to vote for DB. I listened to Roy this morning and he sounded like a polished lawyer who speaks very well, but when you analyze what he said, you realize he didn't really say much of anything. I feel for this city should he win this race.

I guess the pig commercial made you feel a little more confident.

Too bad it's filled with lies, race-baiting, and negativity.

I also listened to both interviews on the radio, and it is clear Delores is just a mouthpiece for her own small inner-circle of bluebloods.

Anyone else get the Mary Jo letter today?

Mary Jo, your support of Delores Brewer speaks volumes for why Roy is winning.

Anonymous said...

Wait... Delores bids on a housing contract, her husband and brother in law do business with the housing authority, and her entire campaign has been funded and directed by her best friends, the lawyers who represent the City of Alexandria, Cleco, the England Authority, the Sherriff Department, etc., etc., etc.-- even though they've been reprimaded for ethics violations.

And we're supposed to believe that the young guy without any strings is the crooked one???

Brewer supporters, you don't want to go there. If Jacques weren't winning by such a huge margin, he could easily run ONE commercial about who you really are and who you really represent and completely humiliate you all over again.

He could get David Pugh to speak on camera about how Brewer helped him get his contract, about her role in the Cleco case.

He could take your campaign finance report and demonstrate how Brewer's plans (everything from privatizaion of certain departments to the proposed busing plan for Roy O. Martin, III) are just repayments for their support and crooked, slimy ideas that epitomize cronyism and bad government.

Oh, and I didn't even mention the recently reported cost sharing schemes with developers that occurred right under Delores' nose.

No, she's never been committed to good government. She's just a pawn in their game.

And you really think that we care about Rick Ranson-- who was NOT a good councilman and has already shown his inability to deal with Council-- or Jock Scott-- whose authorship of Delores Brewer's press release on Cleco is nothing short of willful, calculated deception and likely a violation of a lawyer's code of ethics??

Anonymous said...

OK, but how can you go against two-name crone, Mary Jo. You want to know what happened to Delores's integrity? Two-name ate it.

Close your eyes and picture M-J, J-B, and Roseanne chowing down at that table in the middle of the Brewer headquarters. Always a pile of sweets right in the middle. I have seen that sight with my own eyes. I thought I would turn into a pillar of salt.

Anonymous said...

Don't kid yourself. If the voters decide that Roy is running against Ranson and Scott, Jacques might have a real problem on his hands. And those two guys would do a helluva job.

Anonymous said...

I agree. One of the reasons Roy showed so strong is because Brewer is a dingbat liar and her insiders like Provosty and Lanier were not trusted or liked but that ain't gonna be the case with Jock Scott and Rick Ranson. If either of those guys had gotten on the ballot it would have been over from the beginning. The seriously doubt Ranson will sigh on based on his modest contrabution to the blog recently. Scott, on the other hand, if he could still teach, which I bet he can, he just might go for the job. He's got money, he's got royal blood, he is smart, he is liked, he is generally trusted, and he will do the right thing and tell on others who won't. If she can't have Ned, a good strong dose of Jock might do the trick.

If the rediculous attack campaign he designed and wrote is a bust, hie is a moron, hasbeen, dopey-nothing. If he is right and adds pay off and and the voters that are there at runoff are Jock voters instead of Jacques votess, then we have that genius Dr. Jock Scott, Attoeney for COA.

IMHO, Ranson and Jock Scott are tarnishing their reputations by being associated with Brewer's campaign. I can't believe they could be proud of the rape ad, the pig ad and of the constant "mis-speaks." They should start thinking more about themselves and their own careers and reputations and less about this doomed campaign. Brewer, Albin and Roy Fletcher should be left to finish out this disaster of a campaign without them.

Anonymous said...

IMHO Roy Fletcher is using the Brewer campaign as a testing ground for his wacky attack ads. To him this is nothing more than a throw away campaign that he knows he can't win. So, he's using it to experiment to see how far he can push the envelope. Mrs. Brewer should have compared her rape to what Fletcher is doing to her now when he takes money from her camp. That analogy would be accurate. The woman is being used by him and by her backers.

Anonymous said...

The talk of Rick and Jock taking over for Delores just proves she is a shell and will be trotted out for public announcements and social events, while others pull the strings. The voters recognized her for what she is and since her godfather has been exposed as one who people distrust, her campaign is trying to see if they can propose two other controllers who are more acceptable. Either way I think it is apparent Delores as a person, candidate or even mayor has lost all credibility and respect forever from her supporters and everyone else. Is there any lie or deceitful action she will not embrace in order to enhance her bid for power?

While her entire ad campaign is amazingly tasteless, the most shocking feature is that presents Bridget Brown, an Aftrican American woman who is really uninvolved in this campaign in any way other than a racial lightning rod, and portrays her as a brown piglet. You should notice that there is not criticism of Myron Lawson, the real culprit in all these matters, because they are aligned with him as always. I will bet you that this ad violates campaign ethics regulations and Roy could get it enjoined and get her fined and or jailed. Look at 18:1463.

Anonymous said...

Biff, Delores got this job out of a combination of the pity she was able to generate from her rape, her friendship with Ned's previous wife (was was in business with and making money from her arrangement with John Brewer on ways to get in the city pocket) and she was placed in a benign positiion that could be supported by the other engineers, department heads like Nunally and Williamson. She didn't do much and she didn't hurt much.

The thing that most predicts her value and employablity in government and outside industry is her amazing astonishing flabergasting cut-throat disloyalty, ingratitude, viciousness, and lack of that which she claims to miss most, "INTEGRITY".

After Sept. 30th I felt pretty good because we were left with two acceptable choices for mayor. That obviously was not the case. If, by some miracle, the Provosty/Brewer/Lanier/Fletcher campaign to confuse us works, we are in for a tragic future.

Anonymous said...

anon, 9.56. you bring up another most excellent point to throw on the dung-heap of delores's campaign. both her press conference and her latest tv ad are a disgusting attempt at race baiting. this town is half black. anyway you look at it, the future of alexandria must include their inclusion in power and profit. for delores to try to alienate the blacks in a desparate attempt to gain white votes is vile. the '50s are over. this woman has shown an amazing capacity to slash and burn for her benefit regardless of the consequences to the city. she is not fit to be mayor.

Anonymous said...

Well Biff, answer these two questions, assuming I am right and Myron's interest is in preserving the status quo:
1. If Myron can't the black vote out like in the old days, can he keep them away from the polls;

2. Is it not possible to have the ratio of blue-hair racist middle-class white voters + the freshly purchased buffalo wing eating minority voters that collect their citizenship rewards after they take their pre-printed Myron ballot into the booth and emerge smiling, less and minus the sections of the black community that see this whole comedy as a no-win situation and won't take off on Tuesday to go vote, be sufficient to overcome the enthusiastic young Royophites who love to cheer in matching T shirts but, characteristically don't go out of there way to vote?

Anonymous said...

anon 10.53. i hear you. and believe me, i am no political pundit. i don't know what impact, if any, the blacks will have in the next election. i suspect they will not turn out in big numbers. delores is betting on that by her race baiting appeal to whites. that aside, roy took about 60% of the white vote to 40% for delores. (rough estimates). that is a butt stomping by any standards, and i suspect another butt stomping is on the way, partly because of the first vote, and partly because of the amazingly inept campaign delores is running. and on a personal note, if there ever was a candidate that needed a total rejection from this city, that candidate is delores the delightful.

I predict that the vote will be Roy 65% and Brewer 35%. I predict that this runoff has permanently damaged Brewer's reputation and career options.

I am so embarrassed by Brewer's behavior and ads that I have removed her sign from my yard. I voted for Mrs. Brewer on Sept. 30, but I am voting for Mr. Roy on November 7. IMHO, Mrs. Brewer has experienced some sort of mental breakdown. I can't think of any other explaination for what she has said and done since Sept. 30. Either that, or we didn't know the real Mrs. Brewer prior to this election. IMHO, she owes the voters of this community an apology. She owes a host of individuals an apology too--starting with her former boss. Apologies should be made to her friends and family as well for her behavior and for what she has put them through. She should be deeply, deeply ashamed of herself. If she is not, then she needs years of therapy, again IMHO.

Apparently many Brewer supporters still cannot tell the difference between a fact and a lie. The So-called negative information put out by Jacques, about the dealins Delores and her family had with the City, is truthful facts. That Delores lied, or "mispoke" to the City on television, is also a fact.
The CLECO-Jacques-Bridgett Brown connection are lies. Delores is a liar, Jacques is not. Simple as that. Was Woodward and Bernstein informing about Watergate negativity, or bringing Nixon's shady dealings to light?
Vote Jacques Roy for Mayor, the only choice for good government. Despite the rhetoric, Brewer has a proven track record that shows she is incapable of fair and honest government.

Your logic is flawless and your efforts are wasted. Of course the Brewer supporters know the difference between truth and lies. They just prefer lies. Think about the Brewer truth. That would not inspire much confidence or support. Think about the Roy truth. Brewer can't afford to have that get out.

The truth would not work well for Delores Brewer. They are hoping that lies work. They are devoid of respect for themselves or the voters. They simply lack integrity as a candidate and as a campaign.

Respectfully disagree. I think the lies and the Provosty/Lawson connection was starting to catch up to her before September 30th. You know all that Bridget is and does and has she owes to Myron Lawson. That is why it is so hilarious to hear her wail on Bridget. If she would win (clearly not likely) Bridget would be her defacto boss. Myron has the trough franchise for Alexandria. Delores would have to get to it the same way her family did - through Myron and past Bridget.

Why all the heat and aggression towards Fletcher. He is just doing the precise job he was hired to do. He does not profess friendship for or personal loyalty to Delores or her campaign. The real villains in this contest are the pseudofriends like Roseanne who will ride Delores, wounds and all, right into the ground because she has so much to gain and so little to lose. If Delores was going to film a commerical using pigs she has a couple in-house beautys she could have auditioned.

Go Jacques!!! Maintain that campaign promise against negativity, you don't have any need to stoop to her level @ ALL!!!

It would appear that, despite my advice and personal plea to the contrary wherein I openly admitted that the porkotisement was devastatingly effective and had put the Roy camp in a death spiral because of the enormous repect that it showed for the community as well as the veracity and wisdom of its message, they took the pork0gram down. I didn't see it on the 6 KALB news. Maybe now Roy will survive to fight another day. They still have the Mary Jo endorsement and the enormous public support that will muster.

So at 11:59 am roy fletcher gave us "yokels" some of his vitriolic musings. He made it clear that delores has no concept of winning, but only getting even. Since Jacques got in the race to win , he has to be congratulating himself everyday that he did not hire roy fletcher when he could have, and thanking delores everyday for actually hiring him. Keep up the good work for Jacques roy; please we "chillins" couldn't have bought this entertainment anywhere. Make sure though that you refund some of delores' money for the extensive psychological help she will need from the looks of it.

anon 6:35; sounds a lot like mary jo mansour. If it is any consolation , the roy camp was elated when she joined delores camp. Probably got them an extra 500 votes. Your daughter will have the last laugh when brewer is crushed at the polls. Keep the letters churning mary jo.

I loved listening to Roy talk about "forcing" growth patterns in the city. That's almost like socialism. Forcing people to live in certain area and preventing them from building elsewhere.

RESPONSE: Ever heard of building restricitons, expropriation, zoning ordiances and the planning commission? We had those "socialist" systems already in use while Delores was in City Hall.

No Roy, the unsuredness you detect concerns your gameplan. Are you going to list this debacle on your website? You going to reference delores' rape commercial to your potential clients, and explain how you took her from 20% to 15 ,and why she is now a pariah in her hometown but that she got revenge. Hopefully her revenge will suffice for her mounting campaign debt. The only worm squirming though is that one you must have drank with the rest of the fifth of mezcal you drank when you concocted these commercials, but keep them coming. I see delores getting to single digits soon.

I am a Roy supporter and I must admit having felt some concern. I could not imagine Brewer taking all the money to hire this political genius and the genius not coming up with some sort of viable angle that would give Delores a chance, so I always was hesitant to finally conclude that which has now become the apparent unescapable truth, which is the she really IS that fucking wreckless and stupid. Who would have guessed it?

There are a lot of parasites but there are some really decent and talented women on her team like Kim Knight. Kim is so sharp that I am constantly amazed that she has not seen thru this charade and switched over to active support of Roy. I, for one, hate to see her embarrassed this way. The 2-named blue hairs could matter less. They don't have a sincere molecule in their fat asses anyway.

Somewhat of a politician is needed, in order to deal with the Lawson Council and get anything done. For this reason alone, Brewer cannot ever be an effective mayor.
She has already alienated he Council, by the Bridgett Brown exchange televised lie. Then, by attacking the entire profession, she has alienated most lawyers and many of anyone who has ever used oone. She has also showed herself to be a hypocrit, when it came out that she herself sued State Farm with a consortium claim. She has shown to have absolutely no race relation skills, by her ad filmed in a black neighborhood and saying amd saying these people. Then she used a brown pig to distinguish Bridgett Brown from the White lawyer pig. Also, by continually asserting an untrue relationship between Jacques and any over paid CLECO utility monies, also destroys her credibility. Lastly, election night she decried negative ads, and has done nothing but rape and pig ads since. Also, where is the debate that she said, on election night, that she eagerly wanted?
How can anyone trust this woman to be a good mayor?

Anonymous said...

Challenge to Delores Brewer: Mrs. Brewer, disclose what fee arangement you had with Ron Fiorenza in you State Farm suit. Also let us see a copy of your contingency fee contract with him, as is required in a contigency fee case. If not a contingency fee, let us see how much the hourly rate was that you paid.
The reason this should be public knowledge is, as a City employee being represented by a law firm representing the Mayor's office, there might be a violation of State Erhics laws if the Provokeme firm gave you any kind of a fee discount.
Remeber you words about transparancy? Ok come clean and fess up Delores.

THE MAYOR'S RACE SURE STARTED REAL SLOW
WITH BREWER, ETC., THE RADAR WAS LOW;
NOT MUCH INTEREST IN THE BEGINNING FIELD
THEN ALONG CAME ROY AND IT SUDDENLY GOT REAL!

THE BREWER CAMP THOUGHT THEY HAD IT WON,
JUST GET IN THE RUN-OFF AND THE RACE IS DONE;
THEY MADE IT TO THE FINAL BY THE SMALLEST OF ERROR
AND THERE TO GREET THEM WAS THEIR BIGGEST TERROR!

"OH, NO, IT CAN'T BE!" FOR OTHER WORDS THEY DID LACK
THEY THOUGHT THEIR OPPONENT WOULD SURELY BE BLACK;
WE DON'T WANT THIS WHITE MAN THAT THE YOUNG ADORE
CALL IN THE "OLE” PEOPLE THEY WERE HEARD TO ROAR!

NEGATIVE, BREWER STATED, IS WHAT I WON'T DO
THEN SHE CALLED IN FLETCHER AND STARTED ANEW;
WITH SCOTT ORCHESTRATING A BRAND NEW SPEECH
SHE HELD A PRESS CONFERENCE IN LESS THAN A WEEK!

THE SPEECH INSULTED HER FRIENDS OF ALL RACES
SUPPORTERS WORRIED- FROM THE LOOKS ON THEIR FACES;
MOST KNEW SHE WAS RUINING HER CHANCES TO WIN
TALKING ABOUT THE CITY - WHERE 16 YEARS SHE HAD BEEN.

THEN SHE WENT DOOR-TO-DOOR SAYING SHE HAD NO CHOICE
ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED AT CITY HALL 'CAUSE SHE HAD NO VOICE;
WHEN THE MAYOR DECIDED HE HAD HEARD ENOUGH TALK
THE ENDORSEMENT WAS CANCELLED, AND HE TOOK A WALK.

STILL SHE CONTINUED WITH A VERY DESTRUCTIVE PLAN
AND A VERY PERSONAL, PRIVATE COMMERCIAL SHE RAN;
WHEN THAT DIDN'T GET HER THE VOTES THAT SHE NEEDS
SHE WENT DOWN IN THE MUD WHERE FLETCHER BEST LEADS.

WHO’S TO SAY IF SHE WOULD HAVE WON OR LOST
SHE SHOULD HAVE KEPT THE RACE CLEAN AT ALL COSTS;
AT LEAST IN THE FUTURE, IF SHE HAD LEFT OUT THE TRASH,
SHE COULD HAVE BEEN REMEMBERED - AS A LADY WITH CLASS!

Well it appears lying runs in the family. Morgan was seen and heard recently in West Pointe Subdivision telling a family that his mother was very instrumental in the husband getting his job at Union Tank.

Guess what Morgan????? Your mother had absolutely NOTHING to do with Union Tank. Get this through your little head - NOTHING.

Guess what else Morgan?????? The lady you told this to is the wife of someone who has risen through the ranks at UTLX and definitely did not need your mother's help to get a job there. He was offered a chance to come to Alexandria and took it. Again your mother had NOTHING to do with this.

So stop telling everyone your Mother brought Union Tank to Alexandria. She didn't. End of Story.

The "skunk ad" was before the Sept. 30 qualifiers when both were running in-your-face-ads. Roy & Brewer said they would disengage their campaigns of such ads afterwards and so far Roy has. Roy's ad did not depict Brewer as a skunk, only flashing a picture of a skunk in the ad emphasizing that something smelled in her political relations.

Since Sept. 30 Brewer goes back on her word to keep the campaign clean and runs an ad of Roy depicted literally as a pig. There's a big difference. Brewer lied.

Anonymous said...

Speaking of Morgan...Hey Morgan! You were on here a while back exercising your 5th amendment rights being 27 years old and all. Tell us about your little early morning fracas outside one of those downtown bars a month or more back. Was it in the Weiss & Goldrings parking lot? What did you say to that lesbian girl about her Ramones T-Shirt? Something about she didn't know anything about that rock band? She couldn't appreciate the Ramones? You pick a fight with a bull dyke?

She fires off a firearm. Cell phone calls are made, asses are covered, cops finally come. She gets a DWI but no assault charge against her. Why? To keep you out of implication & out of the paper & the news? All of this weeks before the Sept 30 election.

Lucky for you, I guess, the gun jammed.

Or is this all BS? What's the real story Morgan? When a firearm is discharged, why wasn't an assault charge filed against the woman? Why did Alexandria police let this slide? Because your name would have been implicated?

It's been the word on the street, Bud, for quite a while. Just another treacherous rumor?

Did you, Mom & the city cover this up sufficiently or is this coming back on Halloween to haunt ya?

Or what's the real story? Inquiring minds want to know?

Brewer must have known her emails would haunt her about ems and her approval of those contracts which is why beck's public records request was purged by Albin and compant except for he r recipes. Does anyone know whether the hard drive would still maintain a copy of them so that they can be retrieved once Roy takes office? Of course ,Brewer could take or replace the hard drive but then we are talking about a potential felony.

If there are emails that should have been made available thru the public records request and were said not to exist and there are copies of those from the other emailing party, the implications to the administration would be enormous legal woes which would fall on Ned.

That is always the problem with emails. They end up on at least TWO drives. servers, etc.

Otherwise, go ahead and admit that you were appalled so much at the rape ad that you called a fellow supporter who was out of town early on the morning it aired to lament that delores had made this ad. Show some character Lafe, and admit what you believe instead of blindly following delores down this path of self destruction.

Anonymous said...

Perhaps that is Albin's real interest in trying to maintain control of the mayor's office. Maybe he is aware of the complications in his professional life if the information were to leak out. Bridget Brown says that Albin tried to get rid of Kelvin on more than one occassion and Kelvin rather boldly threatened to out Albin's shady deals and numerous ethical and professional violations by making a trip to the Louisiana State Bar Disciplinary Council's on on the day he got fired. So, of course, you have a system of crooks held in place by blackmail (no pun intended) and extortion.

I doubt that Ned was an active participant in that part of the self-dealing and intrigue but his financial interests were always considered in exchange for his silence and noninterference.

I think Roy will root out all that past and current misconduct because those stupid bastards have thrown down the integrity and honesty gauntlet squarely at his feet and he has the courage, the youth, the inclination, and most important, the clean hands to be able to set some examples to gain some control and return confidence to city government.

What we are seeing is the realization by Delores that she has lost the family's position at the trough and, if sufficient funds were not built up during her 17 years, the family will have financial problems. She sees all their assets belonging to someone else and her and him not only unemployed but unemployeable. She sees paying the loan back that she took out to lend to her campaign as a lodestone around her neck. She will find that the financial instiutions no longer render special favors to those not in a position of influence.

Once she realized this she had to resort to fabrication, outright lies and distoration in hopes that the "conspiracy" crowd will believe it. She is engaged in throwing shit against the wall hopeing some will stick.

Delores is a perfect example of a leader of a Matriarchal animal group. Let something pose a threat to the family and the matriarch attacks. Her family's financial security is being deeply threatened.

Oh and if Morgan is deaf how did he hear the dykes gun go off? Also, it has been alledged that Morgan is mentally challenged. A caring parents allows a mentally challenged child to frequent a place of adult entertainment where evil spirits are sold?

Brewer lost this race in March when she refused advice from very sharp people to switch parties. If she had, I bet Jaques would not have even run. Her refusal left the race without a white democrat, the one demographic that had the best chance to win the race. This is just about the only parish or county in the South where people switch from Republican to Democrat to have a better chance to win.

Anonymous said...

I disagree. I have had a number of dealings with Delores over the years and consistently found her to be not-very-smart, easily led, reasonable, self-protective, and generally pretty nice to be arround. I think that if her "advisors" and we all know who that has come to mean, had given her the sound advice to be reaslistic about her electability after the 9/30 primary, given Jacques's vote, the demographics, and her historically poor relationship with the black community, she would have listened and capitulated with some resonable resolution leaving everyone's dignity, livelihood, relationships, reputations, and fortunes intact.

She is the victim of her own vulnerability complicated by her limited intellect and the influence of powerful people intent on saving their own asses and fortunes at any cost, which costs incuded the integrity and reputation of the entire Brewer family and the respect, relationship, trust, and devotion of long-time friend and mentor, Ned Randolph. Alexandria is not fooled so she is the real victim here. When the history of this contest is written the person shamed into defeat and strife will be Delores. No body will remember or talk about Albin or Roseanne or Brenner or Lanier or Fletcher. Delores and her family will be left alone with this defeat and shame. That hardly seems fair.

Anonymous said...

Woof I disagree with you on one aspect. Delores told me point blank early on before anyone had ever announced. She was determined to run, it didn't matter who entered the race and she was running until the end. That tells me she is one stubborn woman. She may not be the most intelligent person, but she was determined, if not stubborn on that point. Granted, she has taken some horrible advice from her handlers, not listened to good advice from others in her camp. She wants this so bad she is willing to do whatever these guys are telling her is the thing to do to win. Her own ego, stubbornness and inability to know and understand who truly is on herside for her and not themselves is what are her biggest downfalls. She has no one to blame but herself.

She could have easily told Jock, Albin and the gang - "I will take that under advisement" and not lost her morals. Instead she let her stubbornness get the best of her and in the end she has lost everything, including the respect of the few people who had worked with her on an ongoing basis. That my friend is something she'll never get back. Albin and the gang will keep doing what they've always done and everyone will expect them to.

I had no first-hand knowledge of her apparent blind ambition. My assumption was based on previous contacts with her, her reputation for being reasonable and realisitc, and the fact that she is obviously obediently following someone else's advice, leadership, and judgment. I imagined that if she had some goodfaith honest candid pragmatic advice on the only way she and her family could survive this election intact, she would have certainly considered it and most likely taken it. Thank you for correcting my pure assumptions.

IMHAO since the primary Roy has been letting Brewer win this eection for him. His interviews are intelligent, factual and exhibit an education coupled with sanity. He has agreed to debate and merly asked the Brewer camp to set a date, time and place. He hasn't lowered himself to her gutter level by responding to her negative campaigning but has maintained his maturity, statesmanship presents himself as a person with social graces.

The Brewer camp is being viewed more and more as being out of touch with reality, unable to react to situations in a rational, mature manner and, in general, desperate. Delores appears IMHAO to be irrational, has resorted to wallowing in the pig sty and who's only ammunition left are lies, bullshit and racial innuendos. Her actions indicate her 17 years of employment with the City were just political patronage. Anything that was right she claims credit for, anything wrong she blames others. We don't need a wishy-washy mind changing blame the troops leader.

Apparently loss of this race is going to severly impact Brewer as well as her family, severly enough IMHAO to effect her mentally.

Yes Biff, the ad was very tastefully done and showed the community the respect that Brewer said we deserved.

If the Brewer e-mails were really "sanitized" by Albin, I would urge Mr. Beck or David Pugh to please contact Mayor Randolph and the city council and ask them to look into it. I believe they would do so. Albin is no longer there, so he would not be able to get in the way. I also wonder about the hard drive because it should still contain material that was deleted on probably a daily basis. Hey, what about the e-mails Pugh says he has? Why can't he release that info?

This public information request, which is the right of any citizen, was censored and manipulated to protect a candidate for office from taking responsibility for her record.

It's really sickening that these people believe that they can bend any law and turn any phrase to hold onto the fortunes that entrenched power creates.

I wouldn't look for Pugh and others to try this in the media. When those e-mails are released, they'll probably be exhibit A in the court of law.

Yeah, I bet the Mayor would be happy to look into it. I hear Mrs. Brewer screamed into the phone to him that she never wanted to see his or his wife's face again and then hung up on him--It was after he refused to participate in the press conference during which Brewer alleged that the CLECO contracts are illegal and all the other negative stuff about the administration. Apparently, Brewer actually expected the mayor to stand with her as she made those allegations about the adminstration and then formally ENDORSE her. When he declined, she became furious with the very person who hired her 16 years ago and who promoted her and who supported her prior to Sept. 30. She and her minions claim the Mayor is not calling his own shots on this. (A really nasty thing to say.) But, I talked to him at length the other day after council and he's definately angry as hell at Brewer and resolute about his decision. IMHO, Mrs. Brewer should be ashamed of herself. The fact that she is not, reveals a major character flaw that makes her unworthy of being the next mayor.

Why hasn't someone reported Albin to the ethics commission? First, we have him as special counsel to the Mayor, and assumably, heavily involved in the decisions with the Cleco suit. Now we know for a fact he has already been slapped with an ethics violation for advising one client how to act regarding a Cleco subsidiary when in fact Cleco is a client of the firm. So we have him dead to right there.

Second, if in fact, he did handle the turning over of documents as a result of the public records request, and somehow "sanitized" them, that definitely is an ethics violation, not to mention the destruction of public records.

IF the City's email server is like most, despite the fact the emails were deleted from her computer, they can be resurrected from the server or a back-up version of the email server. The question is who deleted the emails and when. Did Delores do it before leaving office in anticipation of a records request? If so, then she is the guilty party. If not, then it's whoever did so once she left.

Anonymous said...

You're right. If Albin didn't delete those e-mails, someone did. There's a story here, if the media were just paying attention.

KALB reported on Bobby Beck's public information request, but they never did a follow-up.

You ask how people can get away with so much for so long, even when it is essentially public knowledge. The simple dynamic is that people who do bad things know many of the bad things that others do and they use that currency to buy their way out. That can work until you (1) are no longer in a position of advantage or leverage, out of power, out of the loop, no longer useful to others; (2) you spend your blackmail currency, you can only use it once; or (3) you get in the way of someone you can't threaten, frighten, control, or buy.

This election constitutes one or more of the above exposures for the bad guys we are talking about. That is why so much is at stake. It's not just about future gains but about covering past tracks.

Lots of talk about Albin being off the Randolph Plantation but no confirmation. What's the deal?

Good for Ned.

You're right, it was We The Living. It's been a while now. You are wrong; however, I have read most of Ayn Rand's books, including Atlas Shrugged and all of this frenzy about people who possibly don't agree with them sounds just like some of the people in those books. Your arrogance also goes along with that crowd. Some may try to excuse you blaming it on your youth. I think it's just the flaws in your character.

We're not talking about mere supporters; the doctors listed in Brewer's latest mail-out made a conscious decision to lend their name and their credibility toward Brewer. This was a political action, and considering this blog discusses politics, I don't see how anyone is out of line for critiquing the mail-out and questioning those who signed their names to it.

By the way, I have also read all of Ayn Rand, including Atlas Shrugged, and after growing up, graduating from college and grad school, and reading real philosophers, I've come to the conclusion that Rand is pure drivel (and anyone who sources her as a naive pseudo-intellectual). Really, selfishness as a virtue?? Only a misguided Republican could appropriate such arrogance into their worldview.

My apologies to the spelling police.

Dear 9:35, it is most interesting that someone as enlightened as you about Rand's Objectivist Philosophy would revert to ad hominem attacks and ridicule to attack her ideas. Have you none of your own or do you just thrown fluff at those that do? Since you are so well versed in the philosophy of The Virtue of Selfishness, pleased enlighten us as to what Ms. Rand meant and where she went wrong.

I think the misguided Republicans may be the Doc's who sent the letter.

Delores is Dagny Taggart and Jacque is John Galt and they will disappear to Galt's Gulch the night of the election.

I think Jacques is more of a Howard Roark. Hehe.

Why are we talking about Ayn Rand???

"No body will remember or talk about Albin or Roseanne or Brenner or Lanier or Fletcher. Delores and her family will be left alone with this defeat and shame. That hardly seems fair."

Don't worry, there are plenty of people watching who have long memories. The gang will be remembered and will be justly rewarded.

Just thought I'd point out that Bridgett Brown's name is misspelled in Brewer's new commercial.

No way Brewer will debate. KALB-TV and Roy camp had been calling on almost a daily basis to get her to agree. She knows she would get her ass kicked. So, she's not going there.

As bad as Brewer's ads are, they may be effective. Statistics show that going negative usually increases one's voter base. Issue based commercials by politicians are not remembered, but scandalous rantings seem to be very productive. Jindal can attest to that.

What Republican leadership? There used to be a real Republican leader here, but she was “dissed” a couple of years ago. I guess she wasn’t enough of a vicious, megalomaniacal glory hound. On rare occasions, I’ve spotted her car at the Brewer HQ, but other than that she’s practically been invisible. IMHO, that says a lot.

Anon 6:38:44 AM, I think I know whom you’re talking about. She’s a classy, savvy lady who isn’t about to get tangled up in this s**t. I heard she wasn’t consulted at the campaign’s beginning, but tried, behind the scenes, to redirect it for the runoff. Can’t help but wonder what might have happened had Brewer listened to her.

Delores, you promised on election night not to sling mud. What happened?
