You’re Playing Kindergarten, He’s Playing in the Big Leagues
Bill O’Loughlin left not one, but two voice messages for a couple who apparently slighted the candidate at their country club. Something about O’Loughlin getting their retention pond cleaned out and all they did was send a letter! And “Bob” needs to get “Marilyn” to leave Bill & his wife alone because they only get to go out a couple of times a week. The candidate implores Bob to “get your spouse under control”.
To me, there is no better comedy than hearing the automated voice of the answering machine cutting off a nasty tirade. It happens on the Stern show all the time; you hear someone going off, followed abruptly by “to erase or forward, press one” is gold.
But O’Loughlin wasn’t quite finished. He called back and specifically informed Bob & Marilyn that they’re not high income enough for him to bother with, and that he doesn’t want their money, and he doesn’t want their vote.
Gosh, one would think he was Fed Up or something.

“Hi, Bob and Marilyn, it’s Bill. Listen, I’d like to ask a favor. Linda and I don’t get a chance to get out as often as we’d like socially…you know, the campaign and all. We appreciate the time you took stopping by our table to chat, and if you have an issue that I can help with in my role as councilman, I’d be happy to listen. But, if you don’t mind, I’d prefer you call me at my office about issues like that. I’d really appreciate that, and I know Linda would as well. But, it was great to see you…our best to Buffy and Biff. Thanks again.”
If only they know when to shut up, eh? Talk about giving rich people a bad name…!!!

If you want to move about the county in relative obscurity,
DON’T GO INTO POLITICS!!!
Makes sense to me.

Part of me kind of hopes he goes to jail, like he promised he would if elected.

Yeah … I can hear it now : “Tyrone …I’d appreciate it if you would show some decency by not stopping by my table to take my peach cobbler during chow. I expect some social panache here ….”
All said immediately before someone dots his pompous eye.
Like I said before - this guy is an idiot.

I guess you have to get into politics when your main job busts. I remember listening to Bill on is financial show on WBEN. All through the dot-com bust as stock prices were crashing, he predicted that it wouldn’t be that bad and that people should buy these companies’ stock as a great opportunity.

Big fish, little pond. Very impressed with himself
I can imagine him telling me to control my wife. She’d cut him 3 ways:
Long
wide
deep.

Bill O’Loughlin’s money show had a long run. (Or is he on a long hiatus?) I used to listen from time to time. Bill would invite/solicit his listeners to call his office for a consultation, but only if their portfolio was over $250,000, which excluded most blue collar Buffalonians, I should think.
I took note of that because any registered representative (like myself) could tell you that those most in need of financial advice are not those people with fat portfolios, but rather young people - married and singles - who have not yet opened an IRA or 401k. But those newbies, however needful, would’nt put much of a commission into any RR’s wallet. So instead of helping those most in need, I think Bill went cherry picking for fat cat clients to roll their portfolios into his management stable and reap ….well you know the rest.
But that was then. Now Bill is apparently a populist, a working man’s guy, will to go sit in the slammer to “defend yaouu”. Thank you, Bill, but I have a question: Who will be your deputy Clerk, because he/she will be running the County Clerk’s office whilst you are cultivating new friends in the hoosegow. Close friends like Bubba and Curly. (wink)
(Here’s an inside tip: Get into shape,quickly and shed that meatball figure. I’m begging yaouu.)
PS: Is it absolutely necessary to lie about Hochul’s position on Spitzer’s plan to license illegals? She has stated she is against Spitzer’s plan, in every forum, in every debate, on TV, on radio, in print, in every way, but your commercials continue to say she is in favor. Bill - the election is not worth lying about. You’re making a fool out of yourself by lying.

And Tuesday told……now just git out of politics all together. Go to your high society social clubs and pray someone comes up to your table…..they may ask you to eat crow….or you may just sit there alone being the liar, self absorbed, idiot that you are. The female gender have a lot to offer , listen to half of what they say and behave half as well as they behave and maybe you could win a position in the political arena.
