The latest column from my favorite token Latina at The Star seemed vaugely familiar.
AND THEN I REALIZED THAT MARY SANCHEZ WAS SWAGGER JACKING TKC WITH SOMEWHAT FUNNY REFERENCES TO GLORIA SQUITIRO'S BARE FEET!!!
I mean damn, I know The Star is always late to pick up a trend e.g. they didn't see The Great Recession coming and refused to admit the financial downturn until rather recently.
But TKC's Gloria Squitiro Foot Fetish goes back years . . .
On the bright side, putting the toes of Gloria Squitiro back in play was a nice way to remind me that TKC has once again defined the political discourse in Kansas City and most certainly made things much worse.
For instance, in this morning's screed about Northland Redistricting the only passage even resembling a fact calls out Mayoral Hopeful Mike Burke for blaming Gloria Squitiro for the current divisive debate.
"The Gloria theory is being promoted by Mike Burke, former council member and candidate for mayor. Give the guy credit, it’s a unique interpretation of history."
Sadly, she couldn't even offer a direct quote and I'm hoping that with this column Burke realizes that The Star's token Latina isn't worth his time. But I digress . . .
They say that imitation is the greatest form of flattery but somehow a mainstream media columnist giving credence to YEARS OF TKC BLOGGING GLORIA SQUITIRO'S FEET doesn't make me feel better. In fact, it just makes me sadly aware that so much of the vicious criticism regarding the state of local government and dead tree media depicted a situation that wasn't as bad as TKC had originally claimed . . . It's actually much worse.
No Sir, I don't like it.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately TKC's enfatuation with personalities, egos, and loudmouths MIGHT actually define the KCMO political scene. Which is a pretty sad commentary on what passes for serious policy and discourse in the largest municipality in the region and answers lots of questions (as though there were any left to ask)as to why KCMO is a laughingstock and why no other jurisdictions want to have anything to do with them.
ReplyDeleteWhen you lie in the gutter with pigs, you tend to get dirty, but there's no one in sight trying to elevate the discussion, and certainly not TKC.
Axiom Strategies heeled the Squitiro bitch.
ReplyDeleteThank me with your treasure Kansas City!
Mike Burke has the same political brains trust behind him that Henry Rizzo had.
ReplyDeleteBye Mike.
man she was totally swagger jacking TKC's use of the word "Gloria" and the word "the." What is up with that T how can she get away with it! You invent great words like swagger-jacking and "the ghey" and "natch" and people just steal from you like the evil robbers they are. Shame on them! And the Pitch and Ink are always swagger jerking you too writing about Kansas City. YOU DID IT FIRST NATCH! We support you TKC even though you could stand to lose 50 pounds and stop breast feeding in public you gully wet blanket!
ReplyDeleteThe sad thing is.... Mike Burke is partially right! That stupid wife took up a lot of time and treasury from this city. She is still down at city hall. She raises a daily drama. City-paid security guards have to escort her up to the 29th floor. She is too unstable to take the lift by herself. City staff have to go up with her.
ReplyDeleteShe is escorted around city hall if she decides to visit another floor. Seems she is afraid of "getting jumped" by city hall staff.
Mike made his point, it is time for professionalism in our mayor's office
I'm probably not the best judge of these things. I think toenail fungus is sexy.
ReplyDeleteSwagger jacking, come on homie cats with swag don't live with mommy.
ReplyDeleteGLoria gives to us all.
ReplyDeleteWhy would anyone TRUST mark funkhouser? He has told the people of KC Glo Glo will always come first. He needs to just go. We don't want you. We don't trust you mark funkhouser.
ReplyDeleteDon't know whose feet those are BUT you could peel fruit with them! Yikes!
ReplyDeletetrue squid feet she was caught during City Council meeting.
ReplyDeleteFUNK!!!! GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE...... NOW!!! These people are trashing ME! You better stop them or I'll beat your ass! You know I can.
