Is It WGPA or WPFA?

As I told you yesterday, Judge Paula Roscioli has issued five bench warrants for Bethlehem Mayoral candidate and political opportunist Jim Gregory. They are based on five contempt citations filed by his ex-girlfriend yesterday afternoon, claiming that he has violated a Protection From Abuse Act Order (PFA) under which he is barred from any contact, direct or indirect, with his ex-girlfriend..

As of 10 PM last night, Gregory remained at large, and was blaming me and everyone else for his latest predicament.

OHare or someone else has been posting as me as they have done on West Easton blog and forcing these complaints. I don't even see or call the girl or her friends, yet she continues to file contempt complaints. My assumption is that Mr Callahans campaign or my exes latest 'friend'. A BPD detective, is behind this harassment.

I warned you John[Morganelli], if you guys go negative or you use Lina to try to put me in jail, I would be Unrelenting. I'm not Willie. I will return fire and fight fire with much, much more fire. So be it!!!

Actually, the latest series of contempt charges have nothing to do with his Facebook rants or anonymous comments on a blog. They have everything to do with him and his own direct conduct.

While in jail, he smuggled out three letters to his ex through fellow inmates, asking her to do things like water his garden and telling her she can use his blue casino card. Once he was released, he began a pattern of calling her from his new cell phone. She accepted one call and hung up when she recognized his voice. She has received twenty more calls from that number. One of her friends called back, and Gregory answered.

Finally, there's his disgusting radio show. Instead of being the mouth that roars, my readers aptly observe that he's been the mouth that bores.  One way he has done that is by incessantly discussing his ex, his ex's mother, his PFA and the witnesses who testified against him. As nauseating as it was, he avoided speaking directly to his ex.

Until yesterday.

His ditched West Easton wingnut Tricia Mezzacappa as his co-host yesterday in favor of  his dog. But like Mezzacappa, the dog could be heard barking and panting throughout the show.

He begged for calls, but when he finally got one, from Tricia Mezzacappa no less, he refused to take it.

"I don't care about my call, I want to finish my article. Budd's [WGPA producer Budd Williams] screwing everything up here. He's got me all discombobulated. Please get out of here Budd, thank you [door slams]."

He instead chose to cry crocodile tears about veterans, though he himself never served a day in the military.

He also displayed his anti-Semitism, as he did on his very first show. He complained that Attorney Leighton Cohen won't contribute to his show, "but he's Jewish and we all understand what that's about." 

He slammed Judge Craig Dally for daring to sentence a convicted child rapist to 29-58 years in prison. And he referred to Judge Zito as "ziti" again, just as he and Mezzacappa were doing on her blog before he was jailed.

Then he finished the show off by defying the PFA Order and using the airwaves to speak directly to his ex. It was not me, not DA John Morganelli, not Bethlehem Mayor John Callahan. It was him speaking directly to his ex.

"I'm going to run right down my Facebook post that Harvey wanted me to use. The name of the song for Lina, Angelina, which Honey, I totally understand if you listen to it, you're right. I gave you everything you wanted except for my heart. I didn't do that. I apologize. You deserve that. If you come back, you'll get it. Aside from praising Bernie, I have to say, Lina, I need you back. I know Trish will kill me for that. I have three businesses now. We have an offer of an Allentown office, and I need you to help run that office. I will pay you. I need you to manage the office. Keep the PFA on me if you want. That was a joke from the first place. I'll have my accountant set you up. It's his office. You won't have to see me unless, of course, you go to WGPA on the Internet and stream me every morning from 7 to 8 o'clock. Yes, we have time for a commercial. You always said, Boo, that you had these office skills, and because you're so damn cute, you'll be our marketing director. Seriously. Lina [redacted], Marketing Director. Why do you think all the drug companies use hot girls to sell their products to doctors? Duh. Here Doc, try this Viagra sample and see me later so we know how it works. How about midnight, Doctor? Lina, not only are you cute, you're adorable. You have a great body, great heart, great soul. You'd be a great salesperson for us, and you also have office skills. You can help Unity PAC and your PAC, Unity 108, take off the ground and you won't have to see me. Go to Jimmy Ricci, my accountant, and he'll set you up in an office, and everything will be fine, wonderful."

That comment, all by itself, earned Gregory a contempt citation from Judge Roscioli. He can't blame it on anyone but himself.

In addition to the contempt citation, Mezzacappa must be livid. There she is, trashing people for him anonymously and getting up early to go on his disgusting show, and he offers to pay his ex to be his marketing Director when Mezzacappa is looking for a job. She has expunged all Gregory references on her blog. Poof! Even the piggy videos. I tried calling her, and all I heard was "Willlllburrrrrrrr!"

But the person who really needs to be held accountable is the one who made it all possible. Not-So-Jolly Joe Timmer.

Timmer knew Gregory had just been released from jail. He knew that Gregory would try to reach out to his ex. Not only did he allow this, but he had his producer spinning love songs for her. He knew Gregory would defame everyone and did not care. He allowed Gregory to invade the privacy of an innocent person, and when she called Timmer to complain, she was trashed on the air even more.

Timmer needs to get on the air at 7 AM today and apologize for the nonsense that he permitted. He needs to apologize to Judge Zito, Judge Dally, DA Morganelli, Mayor Callahan, Jerry Seyfried, Ron Heckman, Ken Kraft, Peg Ferraro and numerous others.

He also needs to apologize for Gregory's anti-Semitism, which was displayed both yesterday and last week.

And Budd Williams, Gregory's incompetent producer, should "man up" and apologize for his role in this sordid affair.

Dent Breaks Party Ranks to Vote For VAWA

Lehigh Valley Congressman Charlie Dent broke party ranks to join all House Democrats in voting for an expanded Violence Against Women Act yesterday. All Democrats, along with 87 Republicans, supported the Senate version of this measure in the House, which is now on its way to President Barack Obama.

From the House floor, Dent told fellow members that “VAWA has substantially improved our nation’s ability to combat violent crime and protect its victims, providing a strong safety net for women and children across the United States. According to the FBI, incidents of rape have dropped by nearly 20 percent from the law’s enactment in 1994 through 2011.”

He added, “The Senate voted to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act with a bipartisan majority. Both of Pennsylvania’s Senators supported it. By voting yes on the underlying bill we moved reauthorizing legislation to the President’s desk immediately. It's the right thing to do. It's about time we do it”

He noted that VAWA is crucial to battered women agencies like Turning Point, as well as police officers.
