When you are explaining, You are losing

The three candidates for Knox County Trustee were on Tennessee This Week which aired today. Barry Hawkins was still discussing the operation of the office by Interim County Commission appointed Trustee Craig Leuthold. Leuthold on the defensive was trying to bob and weave through explanations. Then Leuthold tried the I have Property Assessor experience. Hawkins response was, yeah I didn’t have a Black Wednesday Commissioner friend like Phil Ballard to hire me. Ed Shouse agrees that the current operation of the Trustees office needs a close examination and will use his private sector experience to review it, when he is elected.

George Korda reminded the viewers during the pundits panel on the show of the Ronald Reagan quote, when you are explaining you are losing.

Interesting side note, this segment was recorded on Thursday. Leuthold had an event out in Northeast Knox County that afternoon/evening. All the Hawkins & Shouse signs had been removed from the route of Channel 6 studios to the Corryton Senior Center. All Shouse signs are on property with permission, there could be photographs and/or video of the removers removing the signs. Closer to April 16, the evidence could be revealed publicly. Stay tuned.

    Well when old Craig is talking its out if both sides of his mouth. This is just a prime example of putting a dumb ass as the county banker. Craig acted like a total jerk on the program, you need not explain the office Craig as the only job you had in the property assessors office was smoozing old people for Daddy Phil. Shouse said it best, he had been in the real world and not the county whore house I mean courthouse. I get the two confused as they are so similar. The Green Shouse machine versus the Black Wednesday Hunley Stooge. Good versus evil wins every time. By the way how many assessor employees came to the event Craig? I heard it was mandatory, did the county supply a swipe card reader? Or did Hannah and the new baby get a complimentary pass? Just curious. I heard Cindy wrote a song for this one too it was one from years back, You ain’t woman enough to take my man. Hey Rodney, was a great seeing you put Craig signs in your vehicle, did you assess property that week or install some more signs? When are you ever going to learn, those eyes are upon you, Elmer sees it all. And was shocked to see a sign for Craig at a pool company in powell, looks like another one has fallen for a failure. That one shocked me. But I’ve seen it all in my time, just the exlax box instructions, it mild gentle and works while you sleep. Just what I want to wake up one morning and have shit the bed. Oh brother hope people get out and vote, the intelligent ones at least. Looks like the same old dumbass ones are still at it.

    I woke up this morning and had a splendid idea and most of my ideas come while reading the morning headlines. I want to ride with Gerald Turner to the jail and seek an inmate a smidgeon bit guilty of a crime, nothing big or at least not against any one we know. Lets clean em up, put a suit on them and run them as an independent candidate in the event Craig can fool enough voters. Lets call it lesser of the two evils. I just bet our inmate could pull it off, shows just how much faith the voters have in our government. Ever wondered why so many people never bother to vote? They got tired of choosing the lesser of two evils.

    NEWSFLASH, Elmer was right!!!! Have you seen who Hunley has on the front page of the lie paper, you guessed it???? Smiling Craig!!!!!! Steve you are as predictable as locked up bowels after eating a block of cheese. Good grief will you will reach to the bottom of the barrel to show your ass. Integrity Leadership and Experience, thats the same slogan I seen on the back of a Roto Rooter plumbing van last week outside the senior center, Steve did you come up with that one on your own? I would suggest Crooked, Arrogant and Hunlitized, at least its the truth people could respect that better.
