When it comes to City Council, Bob Capano is very old news

 

The most recent mention of Bob Capano and any run for the NYC Council in any widely read or viewed media is his failed attempt to get on the GOP line in 2017,  mostly running against John Quaglione and Liam McCabe in that years GOP Primary  >>>  where Capano finished a distant third.....


There was scant mention of Bob's abominable third party run during the General Election in that same year of 2017  ---  a campaign aimed only at hurting Republican John Quaglione's chances against Democrat Justin Brannan  ---   what little there might have been, mostly was in the reporting of Bob Capano's later ostentatious abandonment of the GOP to take up arms against State Senator Marty Golden in 2018 as a third party chairman of a hijacked party that soon after Marty's defeat went defunct  ---  while Bob Capano went onto Andrew Gounardes' transition team


Now almost forgotten, but then well reported upon, was Capano's 2009 City Council race  >>>  it was a humiliating almost two-to-one loss to Vincent J. Gentile.....



Least known by most folks was Bob Capano's brief attempt to take the Republican-Conservative nomination away from the hard-working and very popular Pat Russo in 2005  ---  that attempt by Capano crashed and burned on takeoff (he was barely able to get out alive  ---  with many of that era's GOP activists out for Bob's blood)


In my prior featured article, I referred to looking at things in the Brooklyn GOP as akin to watching paint dry.....   For his part in it, I described Bob Capano and his campaign as more like a slap-dash coat of "White Wash"  ---  with an obvious emphasis on the "White..." part.  

If the GOP actually entertains Beer Can Bobby Capano's recent foray,  it will be very much like trying to peddle "old wine in new wineskins" by an ignorant of history Brooklyn GOP Chairman, who would be hoping against hope to dupe an  unsuspecting public in November.....

When it comes to form, there is an awful lot of racing data about Bob Capano  ---  he is consistent, when it comes to the City Council,  Bob runs badly.....  And his trend line over the last sixteen years is that he has gone from bad to worse.

RESPONSE: THE "NO !!! I DON'T THINK SO....." EDITION

TO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 4:17 PM"

"... THIS BLOG SAID BOB IS ON THE BALLOT...."

WE DON'T KNOW WHY ANYBODY WOULD SAY THAT..... WE'RE PRETTY SURE THAT WE NEVER SAID THAT BOB WAS ON THE BALLOT, BECAUSE WE NEVER HAD ANY REASON TO BELIEVE THAT HE WAS


We perused the recent articles and comments and found nothing like that.

FORMAL DESIGNATION: THE "ANOTHER FAILED RACE FOR CITY COUNCIL" EDITION

BOB CAPANO'S STRANGE SENSE OF HUMOR AND/OR GRASP ON REALITY SHOULD HAVE (A) CONSEQUENCE(S)

THE LEAST WE CAN DO AT THIS STAGE IS RECOGNIZE THAT >>> IN 2021 CAPANO "AGAIN FAILED" --- MAKE THAT "AGAIN FAILED MISERABLY" IN YET ANOTHER BID TO BECOME THE CITY COUNCILMAN FROM THE 43RD COUNCIL DISTRICT.....

FOR THOSE KEEPING COUNT --- THAT'S FOUR ATTEMPTS AND FOUR FAILURES FOR BEER CAN BOBBY CAPANO BEGINNING IN 2005 AND NOW INCLUDING 2021

OF COURSE, BOB CAN TRY TO PULL A RABBIT OUT OF A HAT AND TRY ANOTHER OF HIS CRAZY INDEPENDENT BALLOT MANEUVERS (UNFORTUNATELY, I DON'T THINK THAT HE CAN OPPORTUNITY THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY LINE)

So, to be on the safe side, let's wait and see what happens next.

Gale I do think you are right. Bob Capano is the first man to ever run for the same city council seat and lose 4 times. Capano's pathetic career will be taught in Political science classes in universities for years to come

Too bad that Dale Carnegie already wrote the book, "How to Win Friends and Influence People"; otherwise Bob Capano could have done his own "how to" on the subject, and then be able to add "author" to his ever growing list of accomplishments.

Can we refer to Beer Can Bobby as "Mr Ex"?

Ex columnist
Ex Republican
Ex Chair
Ex professor
Ex council loser

8:15 AM, Professor Capano finally got his wish! His name will be forever mentioned in poli sci classes across the nation. His "4th time's a charm" failure will be case law and studied by aspiring political scientists for years to come

RESPONSE TO AN UN-PUBLISHED COMMENT BY YKW: THE "NOBODY HERE GOT PLAYED BY BCBC OR ANYBODY ELSE" EDITION

BEER CAN BOBBY BABY IS NOW TRYING TO SPIN HIS ABORTIVE RUN FOR THE CITY COUNCIL IN 2021 AS SOMETHING HE DID TO PLAY THIS BLOG SOMEHOW WITH HIS STRING OF FALSE CLAIMS CONNECTED TO HIS PETITONING.....

TO PUT ALL OF THAT NONSENSE TO BED FOR GOOD, HERE'S A RELEVANT EXCHANGE FROM A FEW DAYS AGO ON THIS BLOG:

"Anonymous said...
Did Beer Can Bob submit petitions?

March 28, 2021 at 12:06 AM"

....

"Galewyn Massey said...
RESPONSE: THE "DOES IT REALLY MATTER IF BOB CAPANO THINKS AND SAYS THAT HE DID ???" EDITION

TO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 12:06 AM"

AFTER ALL: HE THINKS AND SAID THAT HE IS A PROFESSOR; HE THINKS AND SAID THAT HE IS A JOURNALIST; HE THINKS AND SAID THAT HE IS A DEPUTY MAYOR; HE THINKS AND SAID THAT HE IS A BUSINESS EXECUTIVE; HE THINKS AND SAID THAT HE IS A "CHAIRMAN" OF SOMETHING POLITICAL; HE THINKS AND SAID THAT HE IS FRIENDS OF A BILLIONAIRE >>> SO WHY CAN'T HE THINK AND SAY THAT HE FILED 3000 SIGNATURES AND THAT HE WILL BEAT BRIAN FOX IN A GOP PRIMARY FOR CITY COUNCIL AND THAT GHORRA AND HIS FOLKS WERE TERRIFIED AT THE PROSPECT ?????


After all, it all helps make BEER CAN BOB CAPANO feel good about himself. And isn't that just as important as filing petitions ?

AND OF COURSE THERE WAS THIS E-MAIL FROM BOB CAPANO:

Friends,

Capano is so clever. He really played us like a fiddle. Said no one ever.

Capano is now a FIVE TIME LOOSER

QUERY: THE "AN IMPORTANT QUESTION ABOUT BOB CAPANO'S ABILITY TO EXPRESS HIMSELF AND PERFORM SIMPLE TASKS" EDITION

A REVIEW OF CAPANO'S SUBMISSIONS OF LATE CAUSE ME TO BE CONCERNED THAT BEER CAN BABY BOBBY HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING A SIGNIFICANT COGNITIVE LOSS --- I ALSO EXPECT THAT SITUATION IS EITHER CAUSED OR ACCOMPANIED BY A PLETHORA OF NEURAL DEFICITS

IN OTHER WORDS, IT SHOULD BE OBVIOUS TO EVERYBODY THAT, PROBABLY AS A RESULT OF BAD LIFE STYLE CHOICES, BOB CAPANO IS EXHIBITING SYMPTOMOLOGY OF A VERY SEVERE STROKE


The completely unregulated rantings in Capano's attempted comments to us on this blog, most of which I have spared our loyal followers from having to endure, are akin to a heavily flowing drool..... In addition, his manifest loss of any balance obviously causes him to need to move around on his belly like a reptile, making him even more repulsive than he had been in bygone times, which by comparison, were halcyon days....

Not sure why anyone would care whether bob is running. He always loses.

As long as a mop can lean against a wall, bob will stand by and stand back.

G Gordon Liddy died. He was 90 and he was from Hoboken NJ.

What this country needs is at least a thousand more of G. Gordon Liddy in his prime, and enough cash to fully fund their operations for a couple of years.

What this country needs is a good five cent cigar, and that ain't happenin' either.

G. Gordon Liddy was pretty much a 'one off'; he did and tried some strange stuff; what he had to say was interesting, but what he refused to say is probably more interesting.

Bob Capano made a career of seeking the spotlight. He is a self-styled, fast-talking rebel in a red beret and sateen bomber jacket who ran for the same city council seat 5 times and lost 5 times.

John Quaglione is excited because he received an Auto-Reply from the NYPD Email account. He will print it out, frame it, and hang it on the wall of his "home office"
