Why did you and Brianna think Stephen owed you an apology? Asking who your parents are is a totally reasonable question if you're claiming to be his cousin and he doesn't know you from Adam.
No, Brianna thought he owed me an apology. I pretty much talked her out of it. Seemed kinda weird and shitty but could have been accidental. And I called him a murderer after so, y'know, fair's fair or whatever.
Do you know if Brianna attempted to write a blog post? Did Brianna tell you why she wasn't publishing the post, or did you both just forget about it?
I think I covered this a bit earlier up. She was all psyched about the blog post but I wasn't. Seemed shitty but sadly, not atypical for politician behavior in my experience, and "my staffer Warren" is probably not a story, was my opinion. We have two Malden politicians who make Stephen Lynch seem extremely tame, if the worst he does is poke somebody in the chest and ask them about their dead mom he didn't know was dead. Drama for me and my friends sure, but I didn't think the average reader would care. Who knows I could have been wrong about it not being a story, but she never wrote the blog.
Lynch himself has admitted he's had alcohol problems. He's not a closet anything.
I was just questioning the ludicrous assertion that he's currently some bulbous-nosed W.C. Fields caricature stumbling around slurring his words. This is just clearly not the case.
Haha but it's pretty funny though if you've been forced to hang out with him for your job. But humor varies by the person I guess. Probably what I think is funny is in left field sometimes. He does remind me of WC Fields. Or like, Elmer Fudd.
Pretty sure it's almost all trolling IMO. Most of the time people can't even name their own representatives, let alone have enough info on them to love or hate them. I don't think anyone who lives outside of MA-8 (i.e. nearly everyone, to say nothing of non-Amerifats) actually gives a shit about
@RepStephenLynch one way or another except in comparison to John.
Warren, did the panel with John and that other lady already happen or is it forthcoming? Did you/will you go?
Not sure. I could look it up. I doubt I will go because Brianna will probably be mean to me if I go. I do like the other two ladies in it though. Both very progressive.
(1) You don't even know what a carpetbagger is, despite having worked for one. A carpetbagger is someone who moves to a state or district to run for office or seek other political advancement. It is not someone who runs for a House seat while living outside the district.
(2) More than five percent of House members live outside their districts. It's not as rare an occurrence as you think it is.
For someone who sees himself as some kind of Political Adept, you are shockingly ill-informed.
For somebody who's taken Civics 101, you sure are quick to declare yourself an expert. (No offense).
I'm sure you may be right on the correct definition of the slang term carpetbagger, but somebody who lives out of district is much more despised than even somebody who moves to town to carpetbag. Whether 5% get away with it or not, you may notice that the other 95% don't.
But yes, as you're hinting, moving to a town for the purpose of running isn't looked well on either. And we both know somebody who did that.
For the record I definitely do not see myself as any political adept. Heck I'm lucky if I can even win City Council next year. Or even get funding. I do know a fair bit about Malden by now, but only because of so much "sperging out" over it, as y'all put it. I'd say I know more about local politics than Brianna or Voehl, but that's like knowing more about golf than your cat does, or something.
