Bill White Assaulted at Bethlehem City Hall
If you're a nice guy like me, government officials will do anything for you. In Easton, whenever I get a ticket, Mayor Panto fixes it immediately. In Allentown, Mayor Pawlowski lets me use his office. You won't believe the things I've said on the phone! In Bethlehem, it's usually a police escort at 75 mph, with sirens wailing. Sometimes I ride in on horseback, like Putin. These are the kind of perks you can expect as a pay-to-play bottom-feeding blogger. Michael Molovinsky, though not quite as nice as I, can never go out to eat without some politician picking up the tab and some groupie throwing herself at him. But neither of us would be stupid enough to post life-size cut-outs of ourselves at Town Hall, as Morning Call columnist Bill White recently did. It scared the shit out me last night when I attended a zoning hearing. I assaulted it. Bethlehem police congratulated me.
I also stole his frickin' Christmas lights.
By the way, he's nothing like what you see in that picture, which is the only reason he likes it. In real life, he's about 5'2" and 400 pounds. I'm a svelte 6'0". The camera makes me look a little heavier.

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.
Those newspaper columnists, they're all so one dimensional. I can't blame you for being scared witless and then wanting to flatten Bill White "Lite". I think you ought to complain to Pawlowski about the "Bill" board, he could send one of his building inspectors to paper it up with citations.
ReplyDeleteMolovinsky can't be too mean, he has his own "groupie" after all. She is a hella lot nicer than your "groupie", that's a guarantee. LOL!!
@4:56AM Get your mind out of the gutter. The crotch area isn't even shown - but it isn't surprising that's where your obsession is.
ReplyDeleteWhere in the world could you get a permit to build a "Bill" board overnight and get a permit to install a portable generator without secondary containment next a creek? The average joe would get a citation and a cease and desist order. Not in the City Without Ethics.

ReplyDeleteOMG. I never knew what Bill White looked like until that photo. His picture (cutout) is the meanest looking, almost on he lunatic fringe, ugliest looking poor excuse for a human being that I ever saw. The guy in the brown shirt doesn't fare much better.
It was a black shirt, damn it.
ReplyDeleteI'm offended at the sinister touting of racial privilege his name represents.
ReplyDeleteJJ
Due to budget cuts, cardboard Bill White will now be the Morning Call's only presence at municipal government meetings.
ReplyDeleteLocal news coverage will continue to be cribbed off of Molovinsky and O'Hare blogs by writers in India.
Bernies got some stiff competition from the Morning Call. Next they might start reporting news instead of kittens and police blotters.
