DUmmy mopinko Loses A Squeaker - Thirteenth Place In A Field Of Thirteen

[GOBUCKS]

DUmmy mopinko, the heavily inked hypochondriac who has created a public nuisance in her Chicago hellhole neighborhood, has suffered a setback on her path to political power.

Finishing thirteenth in a field of thirteen in her own democrat slum ward will probably put a crimp in her plans for the governor's mansion.

That information is immediately evident. The rest of her post was either written in a drunken stupor, or farmed out to nadin:

bwahahahaa i lost my first election. i lost my seat


on the ward democratic steering committee. i have been on this board for nearly 8 years. elections are usually formalities, uncontested.
this time there were 13 candidates for 12 seats.

there is always a bit of a war between those who value the rules, and those who want everyone to play. i had pounded on a straight up election, and had actually printed up the ballots myself to make sure there were no irregularities.

i know most of these folks but lisa madigan, illinois ag was our guest and we had a nice crowd.
i spent some time working the crowd, campaigning.
a group of the members are nuns from a recently closed catholic high school that was reopened as a charter.

now, i have a pretty nuanced view of charters, but bottom line, as anchors in the community, both an up from the ground k-12 charter and the take over of this building by a hispanic focused charter are important and vibrant.

i was talking to these nuns about their tenants and a guy joined the discussion, singing the usual party song, alec and all. all important stuff, but also unrelated to this particular situation.
this was not that. this is the opposite of that.

anyway, as i defended the rights of parents who have square pegs in this system of round holes, things got hotter. i tried to cool it down, i petted the guy.
but my stance is that i had 5 gifted kids who were poorly served, not on any of the checklists, and needed SOME options.

he asked my who told me my kids were gifted.

it did not go well from there.

out of a room of about 60-70 people i lost by 10 votes.
however, i made a half dozen fast friends.
i have a great story.

and a title has nothing to do with what i will bring to my party.

there were furious post hoc attempts at gerrymandering, and alternate members were added to the structure so that nothing functional would change.

i think i will just get them to make me a committee.
i'm actually pretty focused anyway at marketing and event planning.
this would actually be a little tidier.

but, bwahahahahahahaahahahahah

i actually was not there for the discussion and vote counting, as i was sick. they wanted to call me, but one of the members insisted that she had to deliver it in person.
so now we have a moment for the ages.

i'm so flattered by the lengths that were proposed to keep my on the team.

it is amazing what happens when you get up and do.
and open your yap.

bwwahhahaaahahaahahahahahahaaaahahaaaa

3. no, i want the right school for all kids, not just those who check the right boxes.

rilly, it is complicated here in chicago.
if you think it is simple, i would be happy to break it all down.
and srsly, i thank du for the refinement of my knowledge of this topic.

Her knowledge comes from the DUmp. Enough said.

Yep, drunk as a skunk.

Really?  I'd rather make him your dependent for life, DUmmie.

Making someone dependent on a DUmmy is the same as making the said individual dependent on the taxpayers.  I'll pass.

Uh-huh....

Sorry.  If only there were thirteen seats......

Point is that since she loves his traitor ass so much, she can take of him.

Put her ideology, and money where her mouth is.

I see your point.  What I mentioned is taking your situation to its' logical conclusion.  DUmmies extol the virtues of being on the government teat.

5. i'm just as happy to be off

there is some freedom there. most of what i do is sort of outside the scope of the whole org bit. it doesnt change anything.
the howling was sweet. i am so flattered.

Like 2007 Father of the Year John Edwards, she's just happy to be off and able to spend more time with her family.  Her gifted family.

[franksolich]

Uh oh.

I find myself starting to warm towards mopinko.

But not to worry; she'll inevitaby say something really stupid or crass, after which I'll snap back to seeing her as the hypochondrial primitive.

However, I must say she seems to be taking the loss with good cheer, as if she understands it's no big deal, nothing serious; it's just politics, and there's many things in life more important than politics.

[SVPete]

Wow! A 12 in 13 chance of winning a seat and she doesn't? She must really have made herself an ineffective non-entity or a real PITA!

Star member The almost-almost-almost-almost-almost-almost-almost-almost-almost-almost-almost-almost-almost re-elected hypochondriacal chicken-loving primitive, whom we shall call "Crazy Chicken Lady" in the interest of brevity (41,230 posts)


had actually printed up the ballots myself

Unfortunately, Mo misspelled her own name, and the Board of Elections refused to allow write-ins for "Crazy Chicken Lady".

in this system of round holes, things got hotter. i tried to cool it down,

Crazy Chicken Lady was apparently having a hot flash at that point in the meeting.

i petted the guy.

Under ordinary circumstances, that would be good for one vote anyway, but we are talking about Crazy Chicken Lady here.

out of a room of about 60-70 people i lost by 10 votes.

Let's see... 70 people, 13 candidates, and Crazy Chicken Lady missed the bus by 10 votes? It sounds like those mean old election officials refused to count the votes by Mo's chicken friends. They didn't believe that "Poultry are People, Too!"

Unfortunately for Mo, the winner's slogan was "A chicken in every pot".

i'm so flattered by the lengths that were proposed to keep my on the team.

Except for that whole "re-electing" thing.

peeing me pants. srsly.

I suspect that happens to Crazy Chicken Lady with some frequency.

[Big Dog]

70 votes total, and she was 10 votes short of the number 12 candidate. It looks like she got one vote - her own. Maybe two, if the guy she petted voted for her, but I doubt it.

[Bad Dog]

Not only are her "children" gifted, they also lay eggs. 

[miskie]

I figure soon there will be whining about how she was "hacked' and is being 'stalked' because the DUmbo made it easy for anyone to find out who is she and where she lives.

Lets see.. Chicago, 49th ward, Democrat, ended up 13th in a twelve man race.

We already have Crazy Chicken Lady's grid coordinates. She was prominently featured on WGN in a story about crazy people who keep barnyard animals in their rundown tenements.

franksolich has her on The List, but hasn't put an asterisk next to her name.   Yet.

[DumbAss Tanker]

i had 5 gifted kids who were poorly served,

Judging by your inability to spell or capitalize words, I have to take your claims of them being 'Gifted' with a few grains of salt, and by the way, 'Gifted child' does not really just mean that someone gave the kid to you.

I don't know, coach.

I sort of thought she took the loss with a blood alcohol content somewhere north of .200%.

(Nice avatar.)

The story behind that is that Atman wrote me swearing he's never owned a tan suit.

Well, okay then.  That's not Atman, so I can use it without qualms.

So he rented it. That's even worse.

She's been busy in the 49th ward.

She even got to talk to her hero, Bernie Sanders, at a local Irish saloon

But she's so drunk from her ward heeler loss, her account makes no sense.

I'm guessing drunk is the operative word. 

She accidentally "stumbled" into an "Irish saloon" where she unexpectedly found Bernie Sanders.  She said she was "in a good mood", was "noisy" and she would have been noisier, except that her whistle was "dry"......
