Liar, Liar...

...pants on fucking fire.

Ogonowski exclusion not political, 9/11 ceremony panel says

In organizing a State House ceremony for Tuesday to mark the sixth anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001, planners said yesterday they never envisioned they would set off a political firestorm by not inviting Jim Ogonowski, whose brother was killed in the attacks and who is now engaged in a
heated race as he seeks to become the state's first Republican congressman in more than a decade.

Ogonowski, who has been a speaker at the ceremony the past four years, was not asked to come back. However, added to the program as the keynote speaker was Martin Meehan, a former US representative whose wife is chairing Democrat Niki Tsongas's campaign against Ogonowski.


So let's get this straight. Ogonowski, who has spoken at the past four ceremonies, is all of a sudden mysteriously dropped from the roster, while Marty "Four Terms" Meehan is now the keynote speaker, while his wife chairs Ogonowski's opponent's campaign???

Are you for fucking real? It would be more fucking believable for them to claim the giant talking broccoli stalks from the planet Weembo appeared in a vision and told them to exclude Ogonowski.

The worst part is, the man doesn't have a prayer. Paul Tsongas was absolutely LOVED by his constituents, and he fought a brave battle against cancer. His widow is an absolute shoe-in for the seat, no questions asked.

And yet they have to play bullshit petty politics with the 9/11 ceremony and have the unmitigated fucking gall to LIE THROUGH THEIR FUCKING TEETH ABOUT IT.

Thanks to reader Brad for raising my blood pressure through the roof bringing this to my attention.

teresa,

I can't claim 100% credit for that - I believe it comes originally from Dave Barry.
