Thank you, oh sage of the obscure hints. Out 'em if you got 'em : ONE MUST REMEMBER THAT GLENN CUNNINGHAM COMES FROM THE RANKS OF THE HCDO AS WELL AS BOBBY BOY.. THE BOBBY BOY AND GLENN WHATSUP HAVE BEEN PART OF THE CORRUPTION ITS LIKE THIS YOU SEE THEY ALL FEED FROM THE SAME TROUGH
: : : Sending in the clowns? : : Between the lines : : Sending in the clowns? : : : : September 28, 2003 : : : : The Hudson County Democratic Organization's selection of Jersey City Council President L. Harvey Smith to go to Trenton as the temporary state senator makes a lot of sense. : : What better way can you torture the loser of a primary election than to show him exactly what he'll miss when the winner of November's general election takes office in January? : : Better still, why not put a big red nose on Mr. Smith, issue him some floppy shoes and a multi-colored hat so that none of the other legislators in Trenton can possibly mistake him for anything but one more clown from Hudson County? : : How better can the HCDO better show their respect for the dignified Mr. Smith than by rubbing his nose in his loss? : : Jersey City Mayor Glenn Cunningham may be slightly stung by the fact that he will likely have to wait until December to get the seat, but he knows he will get the seat in the end and that Mr. Smith will have the distinction of having served as Hudson County's lame duck senator. : : Why shouldn't we do this to all losers of political conflict - make certain the pain of their loss gets down deep into the bones so they may never recover? : : And the HCDO people who did this are Mr. Smith's friends? With friends like that, as the saying goes, maybe Smith should look to his enemies. This is being touted as a battle between Rep. Bob Menendez and Cunningham, a personal feud that has the county's mayors fuming because when it comes to the bottom line, each mayor is paying the tab in election financing. : : The truth is: it is not about personalities. It is about contracts. Which contractor gets his or her piece of the huge Hudson County pie? : : The fight that will ultimately humiliate Mr. Smith and others can be easily connected to firms like Kenny & Florio, Scarinci & Hollenbeck, Ernst & Young, Wenier-Lesniak as it can to Cunningham-Menendez. : : And in the battle over the old order, established under the dictates of former County Executive Robert Janiszewski, and the new order, emerging under Jersey City's first African American mayor, no personalities matter, only money does.
