Brooklyn GOP "Chairman Defunctus" Ted Ghorra has again failed to perform one of his official duties properly --- that sort of has become his apparent recurring management style
Rumor has it that Ghorra is telling some folks that "the State" has given him permission to hold-off the 2019 Brooklyn GOP County Convention until September 2019
One big question is --- WHY ???
Almost needless to say --- this isn't "rocket surgery" --- and the question begs: did our bumbling Brooklyn GOP Chairman get his law license in a box of Cracker Jack ?????
The Kings County Republican Party rules appear to be clear and unambiguous:
"....
SECTION 3. The County Committee shall meet within twenty days after its election for the purpose of organizing the County Committee, at a time and place designated by the Chair of the outgoing County Committee, who shall preside at the meeting until a Chair is elected, provided however that the Chair of the outgoing County Committee may designate any enrolled Republican to preside until a new Chair is elected. The following shall be the order of business at the organizational meeting: (1) Call of official roll; (2) Adoption of rules; (3) Filling vacancies in the County Committee; (4) Election of officers; (5) Report of Treasurer; (6) Unfinished business; (7) New business; (8) Adjournment...."
So why wasn't the convention of 2019 Kings County Republican Committee noticed and conducted in a timely fashion by the "Chair of the outgoing County Committee" or his designee ?
Liam Mack has the inside track with Langworthy
ReplyDeleteLiam overplayed his hand as usual. Girlfriend going all around town telling everyone that he's gonna be new chair didn't help his case as Ted got wind of it. Much ado about nothing as usual.
ReplyDeleteRESPONSE: THE "QUOTE THE BARD OF S ON A" EDITION
ReplyDeleteTO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 9:51 AM"
MERELY BEING SHAKESPEAREAN DOESN'T MAKE YOU RIGHT AND CORRECT.....
Then again, it doesn't make you wrong either..... Back in May I took in "Kiss Me Kate" with an old flame; and thus my recent show tunes experience is really at the ready for all my most sophisticated followers. So, please take note of what Cole wrote in this ditty from that show:
"The girls today in society go for classical poetry
So to win their hearts one must quote with ease
Aeschylus ans Euripides
One must know Homer, and believe me, beau
Sophocles, also even Sappho-ho
Unless you know Shelley and Keats and Pope
Thoughtful debs will call you a dope
But the poet of them all
Who will start 'em simply ravin'
Is the poet people call
The Bard of Stratford on Avon
Brush up your Shakespeare
Start quoting him now
Brush up your Shakespeare
And the women you will wow
Just declaim a few lines from Othella
And they'll think you're a hell of a fella
If your blonde won't respond when you flatter 'er
Tell her what Tony told Cleopatterer
If she fights when her clothes you are mussing
What are clothes? Much ado about nussing
Brush up your Shakespeare
And they'll all kow-tow
Brush up your Shakespeare
Start quoting him now
Brush up your Shakespeare
And the women you will wow
With the wife of the British ambassida
Try a crack out of "Troilus and Cressida"
If she says she won't buy it or like it
Make her tike it, what's more As You Like It
If she says your behavior is heinous
Kick her right in the Coriolanus
Brush up your Shakespeare
And they'll all kow-tow
Brush up your Shakespeare
Start quoting him now
Brush up your Shakespeare
And the women you will wow
If you can't be a ham and do Hamlet
They will not give a damn or a damlet
Just recite an occasional sonnet
And your lap'll have honey upon it
When your baby is pleading for pleasure
Let her sample you Measure for Measure
Brush up your Shakespeare
And they'll all kow-tow - Forsooth
And they'll all kow-tow
And they'll all kow-tow
Brush up your Shakespeare
Start quoting him now
Brush up your Shakespeare
And the women you will wow
Better mention "The Merchant of Venice"
When her sweet pound o' flesh you would menace
In her virtue, at first, she defends---well
Just remind her that "All's Well Tat Ends Well"
And if still she won't give you a bonus
You know what Venus did to Adonis
Brush up your Shakespeare
And they'll all kow-tow - Thinkist thou?
And they'll all kow-tow - Odds bodkins
And they'll all kow-tow
Brush up your Shakespeare
Start quoting him now
Brush up your Shakepeare
And the women you will wow
If your girl is a Washington Heights dream
Treat the kid to "A Midsummer Night's Dream"
If she then wants an all-by-herself night
Let her rest ev'ry 'leventh or "Twelfth Night"
If because of your heat she gets huffy
Simply play on and "Lay on, Macduffy!"
Brush up your Shakespeare
And they'll all kow-tow - Forsooth
And they'll all kow-tow - Thinkist thou?
And they'll all kow-tow - We trou'
And they'll all kow-tow
Supposedly Shamoun sat Liam down recently and read him the riot act about his actions to undercut Ted.
ReplyDeleteBrooklyn being run by Erie County. Sounds like a winning ground operation.
ReplyDelete115, don't you know that Simon Shamoun needs Liam McCabe much more than Liam needs Shamoun.
ReplyDelete1050, there was no Brooklyn GOP ground operation in 2018 and there won't be any in 2020.
ReplyDeleteA once upon a time Bay Ridgeite, Calvert De Forest (Larry 'Bud' Melman), should be put in charge of the Brooklyn GOP for the rest of 2019 and all of 2020, and it doesn't matter that Mr. De Fosrest died twelve years ago. Larry 'Bud' would still be the best avatar for the Brooklyn GOP brand in 2020, because each and every Republican candidate in Brooklyn will be 'toast on a stick' in 2020
All hail Liam, a leader we haven't had in decades!!
ReplyDeleteThe 2018 embarrassment actually helped Ted maybe even saved him. Liam has long wanted to be the next Chair. But by all accounts 2018 Brooklyn GOP campaign was Liam's show all of his key people were involved and it was a disaster.
ReplyDeleteIsn't Liam the latest minor Marvel superhero that now has his own cable TV series, where he gets to drink like Jessica Jones and wake up hungover every day?
ReplyDeleteLiam has been a Republican for like 3 years..why does anyone think he is the Brooklyn GOP savior..those who back him do so at their own peril with his history!
ReplyDeleteLiam's superpower is more like a reality distortion field, where doing very little work somehow translates to an image of energy and activism.
ReplyDeleteSlowly people are groping and stumbling blindly toward some of the truth.
ReplyDeleteNow, all of it can be told: the CW TV series 'Roswell New Mexico' based on the book 'Roswell High' is a cryptic allegory about the Brooklyn GOP; and the key characters in 'Roswell...' all represent key players in the Brooklyn GOP and Conservative Party.
The tip-off is that all of it starts with a big crash with only a few hibernating survivor pods.
Liam’s going to be the new chair soon. Langworthy will talk to Jerry, Marty, Nicole and anyone else that needs to be brought into conversation. Nobody cares what Simon told Liam.
ReplyDeleteThe Brooklyn GOP is more like Seinfeld: a cast of unlikeables in a story about nothing.
ReplyDeleteGOP county committee members are being reminded that Liam has lost every race he has been involved with over past few years (Grimm in GOP primary against Donovan, his own loss to John Q, Saperstein for Assembly, Ulrich for Public Advocate and some others) and his "personal demons". As a result, his support has dissipated.
ReplyDeleteThe Brooklyn GOP will suffer the fate of the 'Gadarene Swine' if they follow that 'Gerasene Demoniac' Liam.
ReplyDeleteLangworthy not getting involved. Jerry has already assured Ted that he'll hold off Liam unless Ted does something stupid like not listening to his and Fran's every order. Liam seems to have a lot of support behind the scenes regardless.
ReplyDeleteLiam is Lagworthys guy in new york city.
ReplyDeleteAndrea Cats is Langworthys gal in NYC
ReplyDeleteMaybe he is Langworthy's "guy." Odds are Nick has made a few phone calls to take the temperature of people about Liam, in the event the state party took control and installed someone new. Which of these phrases would he hear most often?
ReplyDeleteA. A statesman.
B. Are you serious?
C. Is there no one else?
D. I like the guy, but talk about trainwrecks...
E. This is a joke, right?
F. I can't believe I'm saying this, but even Quaglione is a better choice.
G. Don't. Just don't.
H. I heard you had a sense of humor!
No one is taking this seriously it’s just a rumor started by the girlfriend. Liam is not trying to become Chair and as for him being Nick’s guy in NYC, I believe a couple of brothers in Queens would beg to differ.
ReplyDeleteAndrea Cats should sell posters with some of her famous selfies. It could fund Republican candidates for a generation.
ReplyDeleteLiam's girl is fully batshit nuts and everyone knows it. But at least Liam gets to sleep on her moms couch.
ReplyDeleteNeither Nick Langworthy nor anybody named Catsimatidis has any real GOP 'guy' or footprint anywhere in NYC. The only exception might be Southern Staten Island, and that GOP front is divided. Besides, it's tiny and very atypical compared to the rest of the city.
ReplyDeleteWhat's needed in the NYS/NYC GOP is a good dose of Neo-Riponism.
For some excellent ideas and policy positions take a look at the Ripon Society website (https://www.riponsociety.org/), or maybe even contact them. They are a little more 'mainstream' than most 'extreme Republicans'.
Anyone who thinks Liam sleeps on the couch, ha!
ReplyDeleteAll hail Liam the King of the Brooklyn GOP
ReplyDeleteWith a girlfriend like that you’d think he probably prefers the couch.
ReplyDeleteSaid someone who probably lives in Mom's basement.
ReplyDeleteI’d pick a basement a couch or a chair next to a sewer before dealing with that train wreck just sayin.
