A tragic update to news our blog community broke earlier . . .
TOP KANSAS CITY POLITICAL CONSULTANT PAT GRAY HAS DIED FOLLOWING A MASSIVE HEART ATTACK!!!
He died earlier this evening according to friends of his family.
A tribute from a friend and associate of which many will follow:
"Sad day for Kansas City. We lost a Titan in Democratic politics."
Already we hear that Kansas City politicos and city council contenders are working through grief and attempting to balance their own personal sympathies with the impending election season.
His family is planning an upcoming memorial service.
Developing . . .
Rest in peace Pat.
ReplyDeleteKeep the sun in your face and the wind at your back
ReplyDeleteHe pioneered the placement of campaign signs in front of abandoned homes, right? Sleezeball
ReplyDeleteIf you didn't know him personally, you should keep your judgments to yourself. He was a good man. I worked for him personally on a few campaigns and we didn't place signs in front of abandoned homes....
ReplyDeletePat was a great man, he leaves friends and family and a bunch of losers behind.
ReplyDeleteAmazing talent. Brilliant mind. Rest in Peace...
ReplyDeleteAnd Pat, say Hi to Jerry Jette. The two greatest political minds this city has ever seen. Truly.
Nothing being reported on this by the local media.
ReplyDeleteThe old codger pulled some shit in his time, but we love him anyway. Kansas City definitely owes some of its stripes, whether good or bad, to him.
ReplyDelete"Pat Gray is a creature of Kansas City politics," strategist Jeff Roe says. "There's no one who knows Kansas City better than he does. You would almost consider him a savant of where to go, where the bodies are buried." - 2011
ReplyDeleteLife was a game to Gray and money was his compass.
ReplyDeleteNow if you would have said Pat Klein... we'd be throwing a party.
ReplyDeleteNext post please. With a 38 DDDDDDD pic.
ReplyDeleteRIP Patrick, condolences to his family...
ReplyDeleteDe mortuis nihil nisi bonum.
ReplyDeleteSo on the good side... The candidates will have an extra 20-25k as they won't have to "hire" Gray.
A prophylactic measure if ever there was one!
RIP.
One less grifter. If he was a nig we'd be celebrating.
ReplyDelete"Sad day for Kansas City. We lost a Titan in Democratic politics."
ReplyDeletesad for ... who?? weasel trial lawyers??
greedy Democrat union slobs??
other Demosleazeballs scamming the taxpayers???
hope he gets his "just reward"
Hope to see you in heaven Pat.
ReplyDeleteAll you dumb motherfuckers who were swindled by this guy into voting for the e-tax should go and pay your respects...he was the pied piper for you cornfed rube dipshits to fork over your hard earned money.
ReplyDeleteHe was my uncle and I loved him dearly..nothing but good memories of my Uncle Pat..these negative comments should be kept to yourselves and praise the good things he did for your community..RIP Uncle Pat..CHEERS!!
ReplyDeletePat was a good man, the people who hate him have no real stake in KCMO. Pat was loyal to this city and he helped voters.
ReplyDeleteHe would do or say anything for money! A whore.
ReplyDeleteA whore of Babylon!
ReplyDeleteIn a monarchy or tyranny situation, one approaches the ruler with a heavy dose of fearful respect, knowing that person has the power to incarcerate or execute without any trial. In America, our democratic style of government with its division of power prevents one individual from being all-powerful in the eyes of the people. President is the highest office we have and our presidents are mocked and criticized every day without consequence. This makes it particularly difficult for American Christians to grasp what it means to reverentially fear the Lord, but it is a concept we cannot afford to ignore. God demands reverence from us, and we cannot please Him without it. To help us with this, God has provided many accounts in the Old Testament which demonstrate His absolute power over humanity. The plagues and traumas He inflicted on people back then serve to remind us that when we approach God, we are not approaching anything human. While Christians needn’t fear eternal torment in Hell thanks to the work of Jesus on the cross, we still must retain a fearful respect for God in our everyday lives. While we are on earth, we do not exist in a sheltered bubble where nothing is required of us. If we persist in holding irreverent attitudes towards God, treating Him no better than we treat other human beings, He can and will discipline us. He can make our lives quite miserable if need be, and there is no pain He will spare us if it means reviving our sense of reverence.
I didn't like him, thought he'd step on his mother's stomach to get her to cough up her last nickel, thought he'd do anything for a buck, and don't believe he loved KCMO, just that he wanted to milk it.
ReplyDeleteBut hey, the guy is dead. Don't dance on his grave until he's in it.
I just hope this doesn't mean we'll see more of Glori-ho-so.
RIP.
He seemed like a cool old dude. Perfect? Who is? Politically, he was a master, whether you liked him or hated him - most respected him. My prayers go to his family and others who loved him just for being Pat. As for you fools with your foolish comments ...Pat, via Bobby Knight, says it all -- "When my time on earth is gone ...I want they bury me upside down, and my critics can kiss my ass."
ReplyDeleteBobby Knight also said that the kids aren't using the shot fake enough to attack the zone defense.
ReplyDeleteDon't know him personally, so I reserve judgement.
ReplyDeleteI begin to understand why media has certain policies regarding reporting deaths when I read the hateful crap many have posted.
Is it really a wrong thing to be kind? Perhaps respectful?
Tony knows exactly what he will get in response to these posts.
12:25: Take your meds and go to bed.
ReplyDeleteAnother libtard who just figured out he don't walk on water.
ReplyDeleteI will miss you Pat.
ReplyDeleteYou were the Best Ever.
Pat Gray was the biggest giver.
He helped so many.
Thank you for all you have done for our city.
We love you, you are missed.
Love,
Marie and Marianna
