Following a bruising tenure of strife and division, the head of the Kings County Republican Organization is calling it quits with just a few weeks to go before what looks like will be more heartbreak and recriminations after November's high-stakes City Council elections --- We were called and told the good news by a Brooklyn GOP Executive Member rather early on Thursday evening --- and Ted Ghorra confirmed all of it >>> late Thursday evening to somebody at the Daily News who treated it as big news..... Oh, hum !!!!! This was a long time coming --- and lately Ghorra has been scarcer than hens' teeth anyway.....
According to the Daily News >>> Ghorra did not say when his last day as Brooklyn GOP Chairman would be. or offer any reason for his sudden exit stage left --- "Heavens to Mergatroyd !!!!!" However, a Brooklyn GOP source said to the News that Ghorra most likely would step aside after the GOP’s Oct. 6th formal reorganization meeting . In a statement, Ghorra said he would not be surprised if the Brooklyn GOP Executive Director, Richard Barsamian were to succeed him as County Chairman. (Oh, goody !!!!!!!)
Since most of the Daily News coverage of Ghorra's very quick and rather suspiciously unexplained departure contains nothing but Ghorra's own self-serving platitudes and evasive nonsense, we won't report any of that stuff. However, one of the outspoken Ghorra critics was quoted anonymously as follows: ".... a disillusioned Brooklyn Republican Party source said Ghorra has not done enough to back Kagan.... 'Ted Ghorra was absent every step of the way, not a part of the Kagan campaign, or for that matter the Brooklyn GOP whatsoever, it felt like,' the source said. 'With contentious City Council races this year in Brooklyn … this entire situation has been a calamity.'...”
There will be more from us >>> when we here at this independent Republican blog for Brooklyn and Staten Island have prepared our remarks claiming a lion's share of the credit for dumping this POS --- and also explaining why "LURCH" Barsamian is not likely to be any kind improvement whatsoever.....
I hear that there is some real trouble brewing for Teddy. Something of the BOE Financial kind.
ReplyDeleteTake a look for yourself - Search NYC BOE Candidate/Committee Disclosures.
He takes $ 18,000.00 (AND I HEARD TAKES) from the Lester Chang Acct on 12/30 and on 12/31 writes checks to HIMSELF for over $9,000.00.
Oh Teddy, please explain this. What was the money for?
WOWWWWW!
Fred Panteleone. County leader?
ReplyDeleteGail, if you won't say it, let me try...
ReplyDeleteThis is Kassar and what's left of Marty Golden (yeah he's failing very fast in so many ways; this year it showed with the Ragamuffin fundraising) trying to do a cleanup of a Ghorra mess on the floor in aisle three without putting folks like Bob Capano, John Quaglione and Liam McCabe into the mix (under Kassar, Golden and Ghorra even the second rate talent from a few years ago is gone; and they have made giants out of Justin Brannan and Andrew Gounardes).
Wait until the rest of the NY GOP gets a load of this piece of work, Richard Barsamian. It won't be long before "LURCH" will be the nicest and most appreciative thing that they call him and say about him.

ReplyDeleteTO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 11:28 AM"
AT TIMES LIKE THESE THAT TRY MEN'S SOULS (AND WITH THIS BARSAMIAN CHARACTER, EVEN-MORE-SO WOMEN'S SOULS) WE LIKE TO RESORT TO SHOW TUNES --- IN THIS CASE, ROGERS & HART'S HAUNTING ROMANTIC, BUT CRYPTIC TREATMENT OF DEJA VU
[Cue the Peggy Lee version]
"It seems we stood and talked like this before
We looked at each other in the same way then
But I can't remember where or when...
Some things that happened for the first time
Seem to be happening again...."
Ah ! "I can see clearly, now..."
Nobody will be able to fill the shoes of Dick Clark.
ReplyDelete12:35 has Dick clark confused with Arnaldo Ferraro.
ReplyDeleteUPDATE & FOLLOW-UP: THE "WE SAID THAT WE WOULD STAY WITH ANY NEWS ITEM THAT WOULD CONFIRM OR VERIFY THE KKKAGAN KKKAMPAIGN KKKLAIM POSTED ON THIS BLOG THAT >>> '... POLL SHOWS ARI AT 72% AGAIN....' <<<" EDITION
ReplyDeleteAS EXPECTED --- NO SUCH CONFiRMATION OR VERIFICATION HAS APPEARED ANYWHERE --- EITHER IN THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA;, IN LOCAL NEWSPAPER FEEDS; ON ANY RESPONSIBLE POLITICAL BLOGS; OR EVEN ON THE HOME PAGES OF THE BROOKLYN REPUBLICAN AND/OR CONSERVATIVE PARTIES.....
Since more than two days have passed since the KKKagen KKKrew posted their preposterous claim [ more than 52 hours for those who are clock-watchers ], it is increasingly looking like the claim that "... poll shows Ari at 72%. again...." is just another Brian Fox-style fake news item, that is 100% a fabrication made out of "Maltese Falcon" feathers.
Nonetheless, let us reiterate >>> We here on this independent Republican blog for Brooklyn and Staten Island will stay with this "news item" about Ari Kagan's allegedly polling at 72 % --- whether it is real news or fake news, and whether it proves-out quickly, or is allowed to die a slow death like almost everything associated with the serial fake news failures of Brian Fox.
2:48 its not Dick Clark its George Clark. And its not Arnaldo Ferraro its Geraldine Ferraro.
