Outgoing State School Superintendent Linda Schrenko is a little bitter

After requesting an interview to discuss topics including her skirting state regulations, WSB-TV reporter Bill Nigut received a profanity laced email from Schrenko. This state official sent an email with some interesting word choices:

Bull [expletive deleted]!!!

Gee, it's so hard for me to think that any of you could possibly be real [expletive deleted], but I am forced to that opinion.

Now I am leaving office and I ain't coming back so all of you unbiased media types just go f... yourselves and make my day.

I hate to think a school official is using words like "ain't!" Probably not a good example for our kids.

The ellipses following the "f" are hers. I don't think she knows how to spell "expletive deleted."

If a picture paints a thousand words.

As most of you have read State Senator Mike Taylor pulled out of Montana's election for U. S. Senator after his opponent ran a commercial featuring a 20-year-old excerpt from a training film. Taylor claimed the Democrats were trying to incorrectly convince the voters he was gay. The Democrats said they were trying to point out his problem with student loans when he ran his beauty school, and perhaps poor choice in clothing. And that if he was gay, it was okay. How bad could Taylor look in this commercial?

Okay, it is pretty bad. "Night fever, night fever....."

How does Taylor look now?

That looks like a Freddie Mercury mustache, doesn't it? Not that there is anything wrong with that.

Basically, Taylor was behind in the poles and was not going to win. He makes a bigger splash by pulling out- although George Carlin said in a routine many years ago that pulling out doesn't seem quite manly. Taylor didn't realize that everybody was now going to see that photo or he might have thought about pulling out a little bit longer. So to speak.

There exists a photo of me in a green leisure suit, brown "stacks," and Peter Frampton hair. At 16, I look like a green pencil with a yarn puffball on the eraser. If I ever run for office, and shoot me if I do, that photo will be placed in a hermetically sealed mason jar in a safe on Funk and Wagnall's port- or however that old line goes.

Talking Points Memo has a link to the full commercial. Also read TPM if you never have before. A very good political blog.

Moby gets a new gig!

For those of you familiar with the Atlanta radio scene, longtime country morning show titan Moby was canned from country station Kicks 101.5 for having a single bad ratings period. They also did mention his accent as being too country for their new station image. Perenial ratings loser Z93 has offered up their morning show to the mamouth radio personality. Can he exert the ratings pull on a classic rock format that he did on a country station?

Moby is the one on the right.
