George Speros Maniatty, Jr, is a self-employed accountant and an Allentown Democratic committeeman who rabidly has supported Charles Dertinger, Sam Bennett and Ed Pawlowski. He's also one of the anonymous trolls who tries to disrupt this and other blogs with misinformation and childish taunts. He was outed here in 2007.
No gentle soul, George attaches himself to virtually every Democratic campaign in the Lehigh Valley, but it always ends up a disaster. When he volunteered for Dertinger's congressional campaign, for example, he had to be pulled off phone duty because he was screaming at people. He also volunteered for Pawlowski's first mayoral run until he was eventually exiled. He's also a notorious job seeker known to get quite irate when Democratic officials refuse to hire him.
Other than Ron Angle, he's the only person who former County Commissioners' Chair Percy Dougherty has ever threatened with ejection from a meeting.
And now, he's an applicant for appointment to Bill Leiner's vacant seat on that very board.
Above, you can see a brief video of Maniatty in action during a public meeting.
Incidentally, his myspace profile tells us he's single and looking.
