ANOTHER DEM CANDIDATE “PULLS A MARTIN”
It appears that Democrat state assembly candidate Meghan Smith has “pulled a Martin.”
As you may recall, a judge ruled in 2012 that Democrat
Assembly candidate Andrew Martin did
not live in the district he was running for, making him ineligible, by law, to
serve in the Legislature. But because we
have this separation of powers thingy, the Legislature itself ultimately got to
decide whether or not to seat Martin despite the court ruling.
With the acquiescence of GOP Minority Leader Pat Hickey – whose backbone is made up
entirely of soggy milk toast – the Democrats seated Martin anyway.
Hey, it’s good ta be da king. Especially when the opposition party is led
by a conscientious objector.
Well, with the Martin precedent in place it appears Ms. Smith
has decided to run in a district that she, too, wasn’t legally a proper
resident of at the time of filing.
“We have credible evidence that leads us to believe Meghan
Smith did not live in Assembly District 34 for the legally mandated 30 days
before filing to run for the seat,” maintains GOP operative Nick Phillips in a complaint filed with
the Nevada Secretary of State.
“We have noticed that it is not possible for Ms. Smith to
have actually lived in her new address and within Assembly District 34 by the
deadline as she did not actually own that property at that time.”
Smith’s opponent is conservative Republican Victoria Seaman – a proud signer of the
Taxpayer Protection Pledge - which protects Democrats as well Republicans from
Sandoval-sponsored/Democrat-
So, um, we can expect SoS Ross Miller to find some loophole and the proper weasel words to
deny the complaint.
And if Smith should nevertheless win in November, you can
bet Hickey, regardless of facts, will once again roll over and allow the Democrat
to be seated in exchange for a nice widdle tummy wub.
THE FURTHER ADVENTURES OF MARK SURE-WOULD
So Assemblyman Pat
Hickey, Sen. Moderate Mike Roberson,
and former Assemblyman Mark “Sure Would”
Sherwood are sitting in a lobby, waiting to be called into the office of a
potential major donor to ask for money.
Hickey is called into the donor's office first. The donor is a nice looking, normal guy, but
he has no ears. Hickey takes a seat.
"I only contribute to candidates who are very observant,”
the donor says. “Tell me, what's something you can observe about me?"
Hickey replies, "You've got no freaking ears!"
The donor gets furious and kicks him out of his office.
Next, Moderate Mike is called into the donor’s office.
"I only contribute to candidates who are very
observant," says the donor. "To test your observational skills, tell
me something you observe about me."
"You've got no freaking ears!" says Moderate Mike.
Again, the donor gets furious and tells Roberson to leave
his office.
Sherwood is the last to get called into the donor's office. But before he goes in, Hickey and Roberson
warn him about not mentioning that the donor has no ears.
"I need to test your observational skills before
considering a contribution to your campaign," says the donor to Sherwood.
"What's something you observe about me?"
Sherwood replies, "Uh, you're wearing contact lenses."
Surprised, the donor asks, "Why, yes I am. How did you know that?"
Sherwood replied, "How the hell would you wear glasses?
You've got no freaking ears!"
Would Mark actually do something that stupid? “Sure Would!”
