Now, my questions have been answered.
Two prominent GOP mayors announced today that they are backing Republican Linda McMahon's U.S. Senate bid.
Mark Boughton of Danbury and Tim Stewart of New Britain are among the 22 names on the list of McMahon's first round of official endorsements.
[...]
"It's important to me that Connecticut has a Senator in Washington who puts people first," Danbury Mayor Mark Boughton said in the same press release. "One of Linda's many intangible attributes is her remarkable ability to connect with people on a personal level. She genuinely cares about people, and that's important at a time when so many believe Washington is out of touch and disconnected."
Oh yeah Mark, Linda McMahon can certainly connect on a personal level...
Ah, I can remember Danbury's last honest man uttering these words like it was yesterday.
"The children of Danbury are our most valuable resource, and we owe it to them to enact appropriate and enforceable safeguards to protect them from the threat of abuse.
Now, a couple of years later, Mr. Morality Boughton just endorsed a candidate whose claim to fame was making millions off of exposing children to scenes of simulated rape, public sex and necrophilia.
Hmm...Boughton's sudden admiration for the person who brought some of the most inappropriate smut to children's television screens across the country doesn't have anything to do with the big fat 1,000 dollar campaign contribution McMahon wrote for Danbury's last honest man back in late October (the largest single contribution Boughton received from an individual for that particular reporting period).
It only took 1,000 dollars for the Mayor to turn his back on children and expose himself as a hypocrite (again)...money well spent Linda!
And it's not like people haven't accused Boughton of being bought and paid for by certain individuals in the past. Unlike Boughton, at least McMahon's campaign manager had the common sense to give back the dirty money...but that's a whole other story.
BTW: Speaking of the former state senator who better known as the other elected official from Danbury who was caught up in the Gallante illegal bundled campaign contribution scandal, it's rather funny the old political bad blood between Cappiello and Boughton are put aside for new political interest huh?
