Pot Calling the Kettle Black
Posted
1-31-2008
So let me get this straight, Colon (oops…just
another typo) McNickle is making fun of a polling question on
this website? This criticism is coming from the editor of a
newspaper that publishes daily with typographical errors, that
has information on its website that is years out of date, and,
although they have a staff to check for errors, they must print
corrections daily. C'mon McNickle, you pointing out a mistake on
my website is the ultimate case of "the pot calling the kettle
black".
If I remember correctly, it wasn't long ago
McNickle was citing the poll on my website for the large number
of votes a particular candidate received. Maybe it was just the
subject matter (your newspaper) that bored visitors to my site,
and they didn't bother to vote in that particular poll.
It is amusing that you would bring up an e-mail
I sent to Pellegrino but you failed to mention the e-mail you
sent my Chief of Staff demanding that he change the content of a
letter to the editor before you would publish it. Since when
does the editor of a newspaper tell a person what the subject
matter of a letter must be? In legitimate newspapers, letters to
the editor are the expression of the author's thoughts and
ideas…not what the editor demands be written.
The true irony of McNickle's recent rant was he
is saying I'm a negative influence in the community because I
dare criticize him or question how Pellegrino justifies smearing
people on a daily basis. Yet, in the very same article he
belittles outgoing Labor and Industry Secretary Schmerrin and
Governor Rendell. But that is par for the course with this crew;
call all Democrats names and question their integrity. Of course
none of your writings are anything but opinions groveling to
stay in the good graces of the publisher.
And that brings me to my final point. McNickle
suggests I'm a product of the "lower classes" and with that
comment he finally got something right. I'm proud of my working
class roots. I'm the grandson of immigrants and the son of two
parents who never even got to finish school because of the Great
Depression. But after reading the Vanity Fair article on his
boss, if he is the epitome of "class", then I'm glad I have
none.
