Tony Rucker Anointed by His Holiness, Assemblyman Green, to run in Dem Primary

Last night Tony Rucker genuflected, kissed the Pope’s ring and was installed as Assemblyman’s Gerald (aka Jerry) Green’s candidate to run for council against Cory Storch, in the Democratic primary –click on the picture to the right to see scenes from the ceremonies.  And while Tony has never been to Manchuria, to my knowledge, he must have fit the bill of a candidate pliable enough that if he were to win, he would be the fourth one in the Assemblyman’s pocket (Green’s words not mine.)

Tony before I go any further, when you’re around Jerry, stay away from buses. The town is full of people he has thrown under and if he offers you Kool-Aid, never no not ever drink it, especially if it is grape.

My advice, focus on the issues and provide real solutions. Let me say that again: focus on the issues and provide real solutions.  As a start, please let us know the things you think the current administration has done right, wrong and where they can improve; what would you do about the PMUA, fiscal responsibility, the Mayor’s revolving employment practices, Muhlenberg, gang violence, economic development  and improving the number of youths served, 600 by their own admission, by the Division of Recreation?

Finally, I can’t stress it enough, stay focused.

Rucker's people keep saying he's independent. He will act like he is until primary day but I wonder what he will say about PMUA. What will he say about the mayor's corrupt practices. Its okay to say I am different but until he lays out his positions no one will know. He talks a lot be he has never said anything.

Nat, you're implying assumptions that have no basis. Yes, let's stick to the issues, so we can do something about them, instead of just talking about them. It's not just the Sharon & Jerry show that must close down, but the Jerry-New Dem Show too. We're choking on the reruns and it's rude of you force us to keep watching. Turn the channel.

Too high church to be the Y. Sorry to disappoint those who couldn't attend.
But is it kissing Jerry's ring?
