Even Fed Ed's Supporters Cringe

So last Sunday, Allentown Mayor Edwin "Fed Ed" Pawlowski was at Allentown's Pride in the Park celebration, along with a gaggle of Democratic political hopefuls. Republicans were building a wall. The MC, probably Adrian Shanker Rob Hopkins, introduced Fed Ed to the faithful, and got a little carried away. He called him the greatest Mayor in the universe.

Fed Ed was thankful for the wonderful introduction and told the MC, "I'll send you a check later."

Not the best joke from someone being investigated for political corruption. Though the gay community loves to get outrageous on Pride days, even they reportedly cringed.

Sources close to the investigation say that the feds have former Reading Mayor Vaughn Spencer on tape, accepting a bribe in the Mayor's office.

Updated 11:05 am: Rob Hopkins confirms it is he who introduced Fed Ed, and not Adrian Shanker. Several years ago, it is Hopkins who launched a vicious robo call against Fed Ed foe Lou Hershman, who was attempting a come back on City Council. Hopkins tells me he tends to use superlatives in describing anyone who speaks at his events. He admits he did call Pawlowski the "best Mayor in the City of Allentown." He points out that the true MC was Bob the Drag Queen.

The man is in complete denial. However, there are still diehard supporters who recognize the changes on Hamilton street, but deny the rest of the city is merely a ghetto. What a world!

I see the Lehigh Valley bigot community is up early today.

The real story here is Bernie didn't show up to support his "tribe" but continues to mince around in his Divine outfit when it suits him.

Really?? Did this really happen????? I can't tell if this is one of your posts that's just funny....or if this is true!!!! It's too crazy to be believed.

You know what I found cringe worthy this week with Mayor Ed? Him and Brownie cutting the ribbon at Rite Aid on Hamilton Street, with a MC headline reading, "Finally, Rite Aid opens in downtown Allentown." ARE THEY SERIOUS? Was THAT a joke article? Because seriously, that is some messed up, ironic stuff right there. The same thugs who forced Rite Aid out of a profitable location are now cutting the god damned ribbon at their return????? As if they themselves brought Rite Aid there because of their own geniusness? I know MM posted about it, but honestly, I can't believe there isn't more outrage over the very obvious hypocritical aspect of this celebration. IT MAKES ME SO MAD!!!!

I seriously need to relax. :) Sorry for the vent. I just can't believe the news these days. And...I am saying this now...I really think Pawlowski will win the next mayor's race, because people are so damned clueless. It's hopeless.

Monkey Momma, Fed Ed will be indicted before he can return to office. My story is true, except I got the MCs mixed up.

I really do not think that Fed Ed's indictment is a done deal. I hope it happens - he is very obviously guilty. Only the brain dead deny this. But I have no confidence in the FBI or the justice system, in general, and crooks worse than Ed have slipped through the cracks.
