Campaign guru Tom "Scissorhands" Severson, who political consulting firms have collected at least $9.9 million from candidates seeking state office between 2000 and 2007, is scheduled to face a jury today.
In December '07, Severson went totally ballistic at a funeral mass in Pen Argyl when he spied Ron Angle in the congregation, threatening him and chasing him into the parking lot. He hinted he might posses a knife. Pennsylvania Attorney General Tom Corbett filed charges that include terroristic threats, assault and disorderly conduct.
And get this. Thanks to Bossman Joe Long, Scissorhands Severson is the poster boy of Northampton County machine Dems. They've used him for smear campaigns and still owe $7,000.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
Much ado about nothing.
ReplyDeleteNot guilty. Judge orders Psychiatric workup on both Sverson and Angle. Judge finds both to be dangerous and mentally unbalanced.

Guilty and stone the bastard to death...
ReplyDeleteScheme concocted by BO and Angle, guess we will see what the jury has to say.
ReplyDeleteDid BO swing past the proceedings today? A good blogger would! They were probably only picking jurors today and I'll bet Sissorhands attorney will be looking for Angle haters! They should have moved the whole thing out of the county!
ReplyDeleteI was there, and so was Sarah Cassi, Riley Yates and Bill White. I'm sure we'lll all have something to say.
ReplyDelete"psychiatric workup"....now these two present a truly target rich environment.
