When the Mayor is right, he's right!

When our Mayor for Life was taking his victory lap after a favorable court ruling from Judge Haas, which allows the Mayor to do whatever he wants in regards to our "independent" parks board, he made an interesting comment to The Independent newspaper. Again, this quote was printed in The Independent.

"All you have to do is visit some of these blogs and forums. When these types of things enter the political arena nothing gets accomplished. It doesn't help the city."

We couldn't agree more with our Mayor. One particular blog, run by an unsuccessful Democratic politician turned blogger, is fed a steady stream of insider information by the Mayor. Apparently, the Mayor even gave this person a two hour interview. The Mayor makes this blogger feel special, and important. As a result, the blogger always opines favorably on the Mayor. He carries the Mayor's water. He attacks Mayor Cicchinelli's "enemies," real and imagined, from Jack Anderson and Daniel Ellsberg (oh wait, those are Nixon's enemies) to Judge Edward Elum, Kathy Catazaro-Perry, Johnnie Maier and John Ferrero (Ferrero appears to be a new addition to the list). It's a Frank Cicchinelli propaganda machine. We agree with the Mayor. This accomplishes nothing. It doesn't help the city.

We then move to a local forum developed primarily to discuss Tiger sports. The Mayor and his minions relentlessly monitor this site and slap down anyone who dares to be critical of his policies, and harasses anyone critical of his leadership. Spinning failed City policies does not help the City. Mayor Cicchinelli is right again.

Perhaps our Mayor should spend less time spinning propaganda in cyberspace, and worrying about who agrees with him, and who doesn't. It does not help the city.

When he's right, he's right.
