Birk Gets His Money's Worth

It's hard for me to believe, but village idiot Robert Birk once served in another role - Township Commissioner. Now this unemployed politico is at it again. He's the Republican Action Team's (RAT) darling in the at-large race for Marty Zawarski's seat. They've given him brilliant advice, too. They told him and the other RATs to refuse to appear at a debate hosted by County Republicans, attended by at least 50 voters. He made up for that faux pas by appearing at a recent Commissioner's meeting so he could tell them they do a lousy job. Unfortunately, he was on the side of the room that had already spoken. He bounced over to other side, where he was recognized and told Commissioners they're doing a lousy job, as sweat oozed out of him.

According to his campaign finance report, he's spent $706.80 in his bid to become a Commissioner. Most of that money has gone to a new GOP campaign consultant, Campaign Pilots, and I'll have more about them tomorrow. He also spent money for Dirt Cheap Signs, one of which you can see here.

Looks like he got his money's worth.

Hey, at least he got Bethlehem right!

The Bob Birk Show

Robert Birk

Though he was a no-show at the candidates' night hosted by Republicans on Thursday night, Bethlehem Township Commissioner candidate Bob Birk made a guest appearance at a Township Board meeting on Monday night. He arrived fashionably late, while people were still weighing in on different topics during courtesy of the floor. He was perspiring, which is a tad unusual because he's unemployed. Birk wanted to address the Board, too, but they were already past him on his side of the room. So he popped over to the other side and positioned himself to drop his pearls of wisdom.

When it was his turn, he got and basically told the Board they are doing a lousy job.

Birk, a former Commissioner, has tried three times to get an appointment to Northampton County Council. He, along with Paul Weiss, are running for Marty Zawarski's seat.
