Rich Girard is Full of Horseshit!

Rich Girard & The Rusty Spoon: Radio Talk Show Host is Full of Horseshit

Bullshit artiste Richard H. Girard is a legend in his own mind & those of his acolytes

“Rich Girard’s intelligence and talent has taken him far. All the way from West High School, across the Biron bridge, to a flower shop in Pinardville.”  — Anonymous Ward 10 Resident

My late father was a “Tin Man”, a “Sider”, a purveyor and peddler of aluminum & vinyl siding and various other “home improvements” for any price he could get from the local gentry of various states with weak consumer protection laws. He built up a formidable reputation in the Wall Business, known coast-to-coast as a top-notch closer who could “handle a hot stove”.

The Old Man would probably have been on the road into his eighties if the Democrats and Republicans, in the spirit of bipartisanship, hadn’t looted the savings and loan industry in the 1980s. With the collapse of the S&Ls, his financing dried up and he spent the last 15 years of his life gardening and nursing the hemorrhoids that were the honneurs de combat of his many years and millions of miles odysseying ‘cross the continental United States. At both speedometer-obliterating velocities on the Interstates and “mooch speed” while trawling through neighborhoods, the leather seats of innumerable yet memorable Caddies and Lincoln Continentals did a number on his own seat!

When I was a boy, he passed on to me two bits of wisdom worth considerably more than two bits that, in my many decades as a denizen of this planet, have never been disproven. “Jon,” the man I called Dad told me, “the essence of life is somebody’s always trying to sell you a horse made out of horse manure.”

There was a corollary to that observation: “People will eat manure off of a rusty spoon.”

I thought of both of Dad’s maxims back in March when I attempted to listen to Rich Girard’s smear of New Hampshire Executive Councillor Chris Pappas on his radio show, Girard at Large, and then thought of it again this week when listening to his phony “act of contrition” when his sexting scandal was revealed. Not does Girard maked a horse out of horse manure, but the reactionary audience for his brazen brand of bull would eat manure off of a rusty spoon.

(By the way, Dad used an earthy anglo-saxonism in place of “manure”.)

Minister of Propaganda

Back in March, when the weather was still horrendous, the reactionary radio personality Rich Girard made a pathetic attempt to link New Hampshire Executive Councillor Chris Pappas to an allegedly Planned Parenthood-affiliated site supposedly promoting BDSM (bondage & discipline/sado-mascochism). Since Pappas has favored funding for Planned Parenthood, in Girard’s ken, he was actively promoting BDSM!

Planned Parenthood’s ties to the site “promoting” BDSM are so tenuous, one can only think of the word Manchester CIty Solicitor Thomas Clark used when describing Girard’s take on the Queen City’s proposed right to know law: “Absurd”.

Needless to say, the politician in question was a Democrat. His prestigious office, that of Executive Councillor, seemingly is coveted by Girard’s bosom buddy Phil Greazzo, who most recently lost election to the State Senate a year before Manchester voters bounced him from his position as alderman in November 2013.

(On Phil’s behalf, it can be said that since he’s won three of the nine elections he’s contested since 2002, if he were a baseball player, his .333 average might put him in the Hall of Fame. Alas, in reality, his won-loss ratio consigns him to the politician’s Hall of Shame.)

Rich Girard himself is a Republican, yet another former aldermen of the city of Manchester. His failed mayoral candidacy, when former mayor Robert Baines ate him up and excreted him as easily as a dog devours and passes a rawhide bone, distinguishes him somewhat from Greazzo. Since being drubbed in the 2001 mayor’s race, Girard’s main occupation is broadcasting right-wing rhetoric from atop a flower shop in Pinardville, the gateway to Goffstown, a suburb of the Queen City.

The more one listens to Girard’s gibberish on a non-profit “Christian” radio station seemingly powered by a 25-watt light bulb whose airwaves can’t even reach all of Manchester, the more one experiences a self-styled Minister of Propaganda for the reactionary, anarcho-libertarian faction that has taken over the Manchester City Republican Party and which runs amok in New Hampshire at large. Though occasionally capable of lucidity and sometimes a simulacrum of reason, when Rich Girard lets it rip, which is often, he comes off a kind of Josef Goebbels-Lite for the Granite State neo-fascist set.

Equating Rich Girard to Dr. Goebbels may be too harsh — after all, Girard is no anti-Semite and has had no hand in genocide, except perhaps the near total wipeout of the New Hampshire Democrats in the 2010 elections — but yet, Girard himself seems to be driven by demons and is no stranger to trucking in hate. I, myself, saw the dark side of the radio host when he tried to pick a fight with me in a City Hall men’s room.

He has called for one school committee member in neighboring Hooksett who attracted his ire to have “his face pushed in” and during one of his frequent rants against Manchester Alderman Joseph Kelly Levasseur, he actually said that a certain alderman should be “hanged” in the aldermanic chambers.

Listening to Girard in full screech mode, when he starts to bray like a flea-bitten jackass being tormented by a sadistic child possessing a stout stick, one is reminded of Professor Henry Higgins remonstration over Eliza Doolittle’s unreconstructed English at the beginning of My Fair Lady: “Heavens, what a sound!”

Compost Heap

Perhaps it is fitting that Rich Girard toils over a flower shop, as compost if not manure itself is always readily at hand. He excelled himself in fabricating a horse made of horse manure when he attempted to link Chris Pappas to BDSM on his March broadcast.

Pappas is openly gay, and it did not surprise me for a man of Girard’s ilk to try to smear a gay candidate by linking him to a sexual practice that many of Girard’s conservative audience would consider deviant. His actual fabrication of the horse-from-horse-manure is not pertinent; what is important is that it illustrates the McCarthyite tactics that reactionary populists like Girard truck in.

Around the time of this broadcast, Girard actually “caught” me in the very wee small hours of the morning trying to take a picture of the flower shop that rents him an office to illustrate this article, which I planned for a relaunch of my Yahoo! column. For a hoot, I had placed an old campaign lawn sign of the man he currently hates most, Joe Kelly Levasseur (who unlike Girard, has managed to be reelected), in a snow bank to get a picture of both signs. Alas, Girard arrived unexpectedly early at the flower shop and me and my mother’s old dog, who is diabetic and has a penchant for waking me up at 4AM to be taken out to relieve her bladder, vamoosed from his place in Pinardville.

Later that night, at City Hall, Girard tried to pick a fight with me in the men’s room. I decided to put off the launch of my column as I was not expecting such a reaction from someone whom I believe is emotionally unstable and capable of violence.

The Cankered Soul of Richard H. Girard

Why I wanted a picture of the flower ship sign was because it was ballyhooing Women’s Day, a holiday on March 8th that is little known in this country. Women’s Day, the sign said, was a good reason to get the woman in your life some flowers.

Woman’s Day is actually known as International Women’s Day, and the first time I had ever heard of it was from a woman who had been born in the Soviet Union. Also known as International Working Women’s Day, it was created in Europe in 1910 by European socialists and was a holiday in the U.S.S.R. and remains so in post-Soviet Russia.

If I were to engage in the kind of McCarthyite smear that Rich Girard engaged in to try to hurt Christ Pappas, I would, say, link Girard via the flower shop (specifically, the flower shop sign) to socialism (which is implicit in International Woman’s Day), and might even go further and link him to the bullying of Putin’s Russia, where Women’s Day is a recognized holiday. After all, the Free State movement that Girard is so passionate about did invite Edward Snowden’s lawyer to their “Liberty Forum” in Manchester just before Putin snatched the Crimea from Ukraine.

Such a smear would have as much substance as Girard’s linking of Chris Pappas to BDSM. However, it would perfectly illustrate Girard’s mastery of the horse-out-of-horse manure paradigm. From his perch in Pinardville, Rich Girard wields la cuillère rouillée to spoonfeed his listeners manure.

It is most upsetting, if not unappetizing, to witness the half-wits zealously supping on Girard’s rhetorical diet of horse manure. My father is proven right once again, but I take no comfort in that.

We citizens of New Hampshire are the poorer for the likes of Richard H. Girard, who uses the First Amendment as a shield to hide behind while he vociferously vents his spleen against people who are far better than he can ever hope to be. Yet, I can take some consolation in the fact that there probably aren’t 100 people in the million plus souls who call the Granite State home who take seriously this amateurish demagogue who sits festering in a flower shop attic, afflicted with moral and intellectual rot.

It is too bad the flower shop over which Girard perches, a fine establishment that I have patronized many times, doesn’t have a spray that can remove the cankers that festoon Rich Girard’s corrupted soul.

Ted Gatas Hearts Rich Girard Despite Sexting Scandal

Ted Gatas Continues to Appear onRich Girard Talk Show Despite Sexting Scandal

Pinardville, N.H. – Queen City Mayor Ted Gatas is still appearing on Rich Girard’s show, despite the sexting scandal that revealed the conservative radio talk host to be a hideous hypocrite and two-faced simoniac. Girard’s constantly self-professed religious piety, which he used as a bullwhip to flail others failing to meet his high moral standards, and his position as a defender of “Christian Family Values” were revealed to be both a front and a fraud.

No one over the age of ten in my knowledge is shocked upon hearing of behavior by a professional politician like Uncle Teddy that could be characterized as “shameless”. However, there are bounds of both propriety and good taste.

Sources tell me that at an event at which several aldermen had gathered just after the scandal had broken, on the very day Hizzoner has made his first appearance on Girard at Large, a text arrived on one alderman’s smart phone from a highly respected colleague some believe may one day be Ted Gatsas’s sucessor. That member of the Board of Mayor and Aldermen expressed disgust that the Great Gasbag would stoop so low as to bolster Girard’s cratering credibility by showing up in Pinardville, the Goffstown suburb from where Girard at Large is broadcast from atop a flower shop, to appear on the show.

Comeuppance for a Queen City Conservative Icon

Last week, the ex-mayoral candidate who fancies himself as Gatsas’s successor at City Hall, became embroiled in a sexting scandal that many thought might terminate his career on the Christian network that broadcasts his Girard at Large program. Yet, Rich Girard is still broadcasting two weeks after the scandal roiled the Queen City, and Gatsas is still appearing on his show.

The scorn arising from the sexting scandal was seen by many as a fitting comeuppance for Girard, who has always played the role of “Professional Christian”, more devout and moral than his enemies (who are legion by many of whom exist mainly in Girard’s mind). When it was found out that this allegedly devout Catholic went from defending the Supreme Court’s Hobby Lobby decision that enabled the family owned business to ban coverage for birth control devices it considered abortifacients like the intrauterine device (IUD), to almost simultaneously trying to seduce a fan and asking her if she was outfitted with an IUD, most people who read about it were appalled.

The Union Leader newspaper, which had sat on the sexting scandal story for over a week, did not mention Girard’s real position concerning the use of an IUD in its coverage. Indeed, the Union Leader ran two “Letters to the Editor” praising the Hobby Lobby decision on Thursday, July 24th, highly ironic in its own cover-up of the hypocrisy of the main Hobby Lobby supporter in New Hampshire.

Many conservatives were afraid that the sex scandal would, in a political and moral sense, “debag” Girard (an operation some women taking to the social media comment boards counseled Girard’s wife, the mother of his five children, to consider). They feared he would become an albatross in the political arena, and hurt such issues as opposition to the Common Core teaching scandals that Girard has been out front on.

They needn’t have worried. Not only did the Union Leader whitewash the story, television station WMUR and its political correspondent James Pindell, who apparently had interviewed the young woman that was the object of Girard’s affection, ignored the story completely.

And Gatsas and others feel free to go back on Girard at Large, without acquiring any of the stink from association with the Queen City’s #1 skunk.

Why?

A sweet young thing contemplates surrendering to the Ayotollah's dream of love.

A Man Called “Stinky”

I asked Alderman-at-Large Joseph Kelly Levasseur about this development. Not only is he “Girard’s nemesis”, according to the Union Leader, he helped break the story via his Facebook page.

“Gatsas is a bully, but he doesn’t have a three hour per day, five day per week radio show like Rich Girard does,” Levasseur told me in an email. “He needs Girard to pound on his enemies, real or perceived, so he has made the calculation that keeping Stinky on his side is worth being seen as a stooge by going on Girard’s show.”

“Stinky” is the nickname that Rich Girard earned while he served as the aide-de-camp of Mayor Ray Wieczorek in the 1990s. He was so hated, the Board of Mayor and Alderman voted to eliminate that position.

However, when one reads the unexpurgated sexts between Girard and the young woman and discovers his unbridled lust for the scent of a woman’s genitals, one wonders if Girard’s sexually predatory behavior was known then, and the nickname “Stinky” came from that.

An alderman and state senator before winning the mayor’s chair, Ted Gatsas was not elected alderman until the year 2000, his arrival coming after the departure of Rich Girard, who had been elected alderman-at-large in the previous election and served but one term. Maybe he knows the secret of Stinky’s nickname.

No matter which way you look at it, the relationship between Gatsas and Girard stinks!

Rich Girard Blamed Sexting Scandal on Joe Kelly Levasseur

"Hold hands, love birds!" Li'l Joe and Stinky Girard are now BFFs.

Rich Girard Sexting Scandal is Joe Kelly Levasseur’s Fault

Rich Girard is apparently a better Christian due to his attempt to seduce a female fan via Facebook’s private messaging function, and the sexting scandal that engulfed the conservative talk show host last week is really not a scandal at all. It’s all Joe Kelly Levasseur’s fault.

This seems to be the attitude of the New Hampshire Union Leader newspaper in its coverage of this stinky hot mess. Why, if nobody talked about this, nobody would get hurt. The attitude is evocative of the cover-up of the pedophile scandals that rocked the Queen City’s Catholic Church a decade ago.

The attitude of the factotums who toil for society’s Minitrue (Ministry of Truth), whether they be Republican or Democrat (“Ready for Hillary” yet?), is that if we can just ignore it, or in the face of a flareup, treat it as a brush fire that can be stamped out if no fuel is added to the fire, then we can send the scandal down the Memory Hole. Gone. Forgotten

If we can just cover this up, it will go away. Or will it?

Union Leader’s Hypocrisy

According to a 2002 article in the New York Times, allegations of pedophilia had been made against priests in the Manchester diocese for 30 years before Bishop John B. McCormack revealed the names of 14 priests who had engaged in sex abuse that year.

Tea Party favorite Ovide M. Lamontagne, the 2012 GOP gubernatorial candidate, served as counsel for the Manchester Diocese during the sex scandal. He negotiated a $6.5 million settlement of 61 sexual abuse claims and struck a deal with the state Attorney General that prevented the diocese from being prosecuted on criminal charges.

Under instructions from Bishop McCormack, Lamontagne eshewed a legal strategy of defending the church against the criminal charges in court, but instead, sought a quick settlement. Ovide’s deal led to the criminal charges being dropped.

The Union Leader, at the time of this sex scandal, called on Bishop McCormack to resign.

As for Girard, he essentially was shamed in the ink-stained pages of the Union Leader‘s New Hampshire Sunday News, but was also given a free pass. Certain details of his sexting with the fan, such as the exchange of nude photos, were ignored, as was his inquiry about birth control devices. More importantly, when it came to culpability, he was also given a free pass as Alderman Joe Kelly Levasseur was dragged in to it and made the “heavy”.

“Later in the week,” Union Leader City Hall columnist Ted Seifer wrote, “Girard told me that while he took responsibility for the interaction with [the woman], Levasseur was sinking to new lows in his efforts to publicize it. ‘I would think a sitting public official would have better things to do than ramp up the heat to destroy a family,’ he said.”

“Big Joe! Big Jo-o-o-e. BIG BAD JOE!!!”

It’s a common theme for the Union Leader and obviously helps sell newspapers.

What Ted Seifer or more likely his editors left out of their Rich Girard sexting scandal story (a front page-worthy story that took the Union Leader over a week to cover) was not the just the incredible obscenity of Girard’s sexts — that is not appropriate for a family newspaper — but Girard’s sinful behavior as regards his flouting of church doctrine. We are not talking sinning as in getting one’s jollies from the one-handed sexting a young fan, or contemplating adultery, but the sin that has been the eye of the hurricane in Catholic Church doctrine for well over 40 years: flouting its teachings on birth control.

For Rich Girard asked this woman, as he was trying to get into her bed, if she has acquired an intrauterine device (IUD), a form of birth control that was part of the recent Supreme Court Hobby Lobby decision that Girard supports. Hobby Lobby’s right, based on a concept of religious liberty, to deny coverage for IUDs, which it and many pro-life people consider an abortifacient (believing it capable of aborting a fertilzed egg), was upheld by the High Court.

Girard was on the radio praising the decision. And soon was on Facebook, asking the woman if she had acquired an IUD, then other forms of birth control when she told him she had not.

There is no mention of this in the Union Leader. To the newspaper’s credit, at least it printed a santized version of events, even if it was a week late. WMUR-TV, which interviewed the woman that Rich Girard sexted, ignored the story, except for a brief blind item in James Pindell’s column.

Double Think

Anywho, what does it matter, when you have Big Bad Joe to blame? If Joe Kelly Levasseur hadn’t spread the word about town of Rich Girard’s indiscretion (something Girard would have jumped on in a New Hampshire minute if the shoe had been on the other foot), there would have been no sex scandal. There would have been no sin.

Sinning has made the Ayatollah Girard a "better Christian"

We cross into Orwell land, or more accurately, open our eyes to the fact that here in the Granite State, we live in Nineteen Eighty-Four. We even have our own O’Briend, former House Speaker Bill, with his own cock-eyed idea of reality.

One cannot help thinking of the Passion of Winston Smith, when he is being racked by Orwell’s O’Brien.

“How can I help seeing what is in front of my eyes? Two and two are four,” Smith declares to the Party apparatchik.

“Sometimes, Winston,” O’Brien says. “Sometimes they are five. Sometimes they are three. Sometimes they are all of them at once. You must try harder. It is not easy to become sane.”

Reality, another word for sanity, is socially defined. In the Union Leader‘s double think, Girard the sinner is the one who has been sinned against, and Levasseur, the revelator (in the non-religious sense – Girard claims that role for himself), is the one who has sinned.

Hearken back to 2002, when the Union Leader attacked Bishop McCormack as the Diocese of Manchester was facing criminal charges and a major financial payout. Can you say “Scapegoat?”

In Biblical times, a scapegoat was sacrificed to expiate the sins of a community. Ted Seifer is too smart and too good a writer to turn the young woman who was at the other end of the sexts into the scapegoat, so the editorial board offered him Joe Kelly Levasseur.

My Puritan ancestors preferred hanging witches as a homeostatic device to maintain the equilibrium in Olde New England.

Down the Memory Hole

“The old civilizations claimed that they were founded on love or justice,” Orwell’s O’Brien (though it could be the Granite State’s Bill) told Winston Smith. “Ours is founded upon hatred. In our world there will be no emotions except fear, rage, triumph, and self-abasement.”

In a nutshell, that’s Rich Girard’s career as the Queen City exemplar of right-wing Christian family values, freeze fame: Caught with his pants down. Except the order is askew. For Girard, it’s rage, fear, self-abasement and triumph, as his wanton sexual behavior is recast as an act strengthing him religiously, and his incredible hypocrisy on the issue of birth control is simply ignored. (Did we mention the sin of simony? Another article, perhaps.)

The Girard sexting scandal is already been pigenonholed to be forwarded on to the Memory Hole by the factotums of Manchester’s Minitrue (Ministry of Truth).

This is how reality is socially defined. The question remains, as Rich Girard remains on the air of what is billed as a “Christian radio station” tasked with preventing people from going to hell, what are those outraged by this going to do about it?

Rich Girard Keystrokes His Way into Sexting Scandal

Thank god for Russian sites that steal online content or this gem about the next mayor of Manchester, NH, the Hon. Richard H. Girard, would have been lost!

Richard H Girard keystrokes himself into sexting scandal

"Oh, my head!" -- Rich Girard's catch phrase, took on new meaning in 2014

Rich Girard, the host of the Girard at Large radio program, used his Facebook account to try to seduce a female fan who had appeared on his show. Friday afternoon, the Manchester political world was abuzz with news about the sexting scandal as the the fan, who uses the moniker “Little Mel,” posted screenshots of Girard’s sexting on her Facebook page. The revelations are a bombshell as the staunchly conservative radio host who postures as a defender of traditional family values broadcasts on a Christian radio station.

Little Mel is a volunteer at a prominent Manchester non-profit organization that Girard supports. She appeared on his show when it featured a segment on the charity, an event mentioned in the “sexts” that were exchanged between Little Mel and one “Richard H. Girard” via Facebook’s private messaging function.

Richard H. Girard is the Girard at Large radio show hosts “official” name.

Breaking Story

Alderman Joseph Kelly Levasseur, the nemesis of Girard, was the first to break the story on his own Facebook page. Levasseur contacted Little Mel, who confirmed that the posts were from Rich Girard. He obtained her permission to post screenshots of sexually explicit messages that Girard allegedly sent her on Wednesday, July 9th, and Thursday, the 10th. She also posted messages sent by Girard to her on Friday, the 11th.

Little Mel assured Levasseur that it indeed was Girard who wrote the sexts, and assured me after a query on Levasseur’s Facebook page that Girard was the man who wrote the posts.

Levasseur contacted Rich Girard for comment, telling him he was going to run the story. Girard did not respond to Levasseur’s query.

Due to the extremely graphic nature of the sexting dialogue, Levasseur only published one screenshot, then took it down for editing as it contained Little Mel’s address. The screenshots show the name “Richard H. Girard” with a picture of Rich Girard that I am told the radio host uses on his Facebook page. The street address was on the screenshot that Levasseur posted, as Girard, who said that he was drunk, was trying to arrange a sex encounter with Little Mel at her home and she supplied him with the information.

On Friday, Little Mel insisted that not only was it Girard who sexted her, but that after the story broke in the wake of her posting of screenshots of their sexting conversation on her Facebook page, Girard called her on the phone to apologize for attempting to seduce her. She at first thought he sounded angry during the conversation, but subsequently decided he was not.

On Saturday night, Little Mel published on Levasseur’s Facebook page two apologies from Girard. The latter read:

“Hi, Mel. / Tahnk [SIC] you for taking down the screen shots of our chat messages. Would you mind posting that we spoke and that you’d accepted my apology and granted the forgiveness I requested? As you might imagine, I have some people looking for comment and I’d like to be able to have more than my say so that you did that./ Thank you./ Rich Girard/ Humble Host/ Girard at Large in the Morning”

Weird Relationship

The original sexting conversation that Little Mel engaged in with Girard took place between approximately 8:00 and 8:25 PM on Wednesday, July 9th. Little Mel and Girard were partaking in a Facebook private messaging conversation before 7:59 PM, but apparently, it didn’t turn to sex until around eight, which is the start of prime time on commercial television. The screenshots I received from a source start at 7:59.

According to the screenshots (I do not have access to Little Mel’s Facebook pages), Girard kicked off the salacious part of their conversation when he sexted her,”too bad for you we’re separated at the moment. I’m a bit tipsy and I owuld probably [expletive deleted] the [expletive deleted] out of you if we were in the th esame room.” [Spelling including the lack of capitalization is as it appears in the screenshots – Ed.]

The two banter back and forth, then Girard wrote, “it’d be all weird.”

“I think our whole ‘relationship’ is weird ;-P”, Little Mel replied.

“Still got that IUD?” the sexter immediately asked her. The question is a bombshell that could do further damage to the radio host as Girard portrays himself publicly as a “Catholic’s Catholic” and an intrauterine device is a contraceptive device that prevents conception by disrupting sperm, preventing them from fertilizing an egg. Many pro-life people consider an IUD an abortifacient. [According to Little Mel, the two had talked about her obtaining an IUD before Wednesday night’s conversation, not in terms of birth control in anticipation of a future affair, but as a discussion between friends about her healthcare concerns, She was looking into obtaining an IUD to help regulate her menstrual cycle.]

“No. I didn’t get it,” Little Mel replied before telling him why and then stating that she has “lots of condoms.”

“I hate those,” the sexter replied.

After more talk about birth control, Girard asked her what will become an underlying theme of his side of the conversation “so if we did it what then? You get all clingy and freaky on me.”

“No,” Little Mel replies before the two then engaged in conversation about a preferred position for sexual intercourse, which Little Mel says makes guys look powerful.

“Oh My Head!”

The Girard at Large host apparently is a fan of oral sex, both giving and receiving what is vulgarly known as “head”. Somehow, this is fitting, as Girard’s trademark expression on the air is “Oh my head!”

“Do you like it when a guy eats your [expletive deleted]?”he asked, using a vulgarism for the female sex organ commonly associated with cats.

An obscene exchange of words took place, after which Girard asks, “can you do it once and only once?”

He then follows this up with “(omh, I’m hammered….)” [I read the abbreviation “omh” as “Oh my head”. – Ed.]

Little Mel then raised the subject of marital fidelity.

“does your wife know?”

I am missing screenshots for the next three minutes of the conversation, but apparently, the subject of Little Mel having actual real-life, four-footed cats — comes up, and she said she can put them in the bathroom. Girard apparently is allergic to the feline variety. He told her that segregating the cats would not make a difference.

The presence of cats apparently put a kibosh on the intended assignation and gave Little Mel time to take stock of herself, as she then broke off from planning a tryst when her conscience kicks in over the other party’s wife.

“Carpe Diem”

“Sigh as much as I want to —- you….I don’t think I can. Not only are you married but you’re drunk right now and I feel like I was raking advantage of you at a weak moment,” Little Mel wrote.

Girard, still intent on meeting up with his fan for sex, replied, “hrey, I asked…”

Little Mel posted in turn, “If you were in an open marriage it would be different but you’re monogamous and you have 5 kids.”

Little Mel then asked, “How are you going to feel after?”

Girard replied in a series of five posts: “who knows?/who cares/carpe diem/besides, I’ve always wanted you/since you first walked into my studio conservatively dressed.”

Carpe diem is Latin for “Seize the day”. Apparently, Girard was still intent on seizing his opportunity with Little Mel. His stratagems would backfire on him by Friday.

An Attack of Conscience

“don’t tell me you’re having an attack of conscience…” the interlocutor whom Little Mel swears is Rich Girard tells her. “or is it that once won’t be enough?”

“depends how good are you? :-P”

Girard posted, “chalk it up to great… /final chance…/going…”

“I really want to…” Little Mel said, before declaring, “I can’t. I’m sorry. It would be going against what I believe and what I preach.

“I wouldn’t tell but I’d feel guilty,” she wrote.

After some banter, Girard asked Little Mel, “what do you want?/the sex of the relatinship/the dream or the drudgery”

“I respect you too much,” Little Mel replied.

Girard posted, “so you won’t let me make a drunken mistake?/actually, it’s not that drunk…you can tell by the few typos.”

Catholic Guilt

The back and forth continues and finally Little Mel told Rich Girard, “you’re catholic guilt will get to you.”

“Don’t be so sure…./What about a good oral encounter?” the sexter, who apparently will not be denied, wrote back.

“and I can’t do it on the maybe chance you’ll regret it,” Little Mel replied.

“i won’t”, the other party to the sexting said, “unless you get all clingy and freaky/then I’ll be wondreing if I’ll be seeing boilig rabbits on my stove.”

“I like rabbits”, Little Mel declared, apparently missing the reference to the 1987 Michael Douglas-Glen Close movie Fatal Attraction, in which the “other women” (close) in an adulterous affair with Douglas’ character became unhinged.

The subject of Little Mel’s mental state will be used by the Girard in the following days, as he tries to do damage control. It is this stratagem, and the patronizing attitude of the sexter, that likely set Little Mel off and did push her into the Glen Close role of seeking revenge, leading her to post the sexting threads on her Facebook page rather than leaving a pet rabbit boiled alive on the Girard family’s stove.

“zi’m not trrying to mess with you,” the sexter told Little Mel, “i guess my inhibitions are down.”

“Exactly and even though you say you won’t regret it…. I know you will,” she responded.

Little Mel, as the Wednesday night sexting conversation peters out, continually brings up the fact that she, too, would be racked with guilt for sleeping with a married man she respects.

“and while I wouldn’t tell anyone I’d fell guilty and I hate feeling guilty,” Little Mel wrote.

Guilt, Catholic or otherwise, apparently is not something Richard Girard apparently suffers from. “don’t be so sure about my regrets,” he wrote back.

Big Boy

More banter, including obscenity by Girard followed, while Little Mel continued to refuse him, though she claimed it is with regret.

“I love you to death and that’s why I can’t,” she wrote.

The continually rebuffed and frustrated Girard responded negatively to this post.

“ugh…./i’ve heard that my whole life/I hate it.”

“You’d rather people not care about you?” Little Mel asked him.

“in some cases/besides, I can take care of myself. I’m a big boy/who can take being turned down…,” the sexter reponded, before posting a frowning smiley face emoticon.

As the chances for the hoped for assignation dies, the sexter tried another tack: “that’s okay. You’re doing the right thing/hell of a time to develop a conscience, though.”

Little Mel tells him, “I’m sorry. I feel terrible.”

“why?” Girard asked.

“because I have a chance to bang someone in my top 10 and I’m turning it down.”

Girard posted, “if you’re doing it for me, don’t. if you’r edoing it for you okay.

The seemingly adept if not quite expert sexter then applied real pressure to Little Mel: “crap…my window of opportunity is about to close/yes or no/say it now.”

“No,” answers Little Mel. It is a definitive answer, though Girard would continue to persist with his pursuit this Wednesday night.

Incredibly, the sexter then posted, “(no pressure…seriously)/waiting….”

Little Mel reiterated that she can’t have sex with him and apologized. “I’d feel way too guilty,” she wrote, and I’ve been the other woman before/and my last relationship ended because I got cheated on/I’d feel like a hypocrit.”

Girard responded, “no worries. I respect you and your decision…though I’m looking ]for a one time thing, not the ‘other woman thing’.”

“I’m the Best”

The sexter, seemingly being reasonable and compassionate at the moment, immediately propositions Little Mel again, offering her oral sex rather than vaginal intercourse, though he tells her that he would engage in intercourse “If you wold let me.”

“trust me, I’m the best,” the egotistical sexter boasted to Little Mel. “or at least the best you’ve ever had”

These messages are immediately followed by his declaration, “time has expired……..I can’t get awa now.”

“Sorry,” Little Mel said, before posting a heart emoticon.

“well, I could if you really wanted me to,” the sexter who will still not be denied replied. Apparently, Rich Girard is not one who is easily discouraged.

“I can’t,” she told him.

Girard then attempted to transfigure himself into some kind of relationship/lifestyle guru, hectoring her to “accept responsibility…. You won’t, not can’t/there’s a difference between ability and decision/you COULD, but you choose not to which is okay. I don’t hate you for it.”

Little Mel replied to the sexter who is blowing both hot and cold — like someone possessed of a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde personality, “I can, but I won’t.”

“tomorrow, I’ll probably thank you,” Richard H. Girard then posted, before immediately launching into more salacious talk intended to seduce Little Mel, before following it up with a mea culpa.

“fyi, i respect your conscience….you’re right to say no. I felt like trying though./sorry fo rthe advance/didn’t want to cause you stress.”

Little Mel ended Wednesday night’s conversation by telling Girard that despite what has transpired, “I still think you’re awesome.”

The Following Day

The Facebook conversation between Rich Girard and Little Mel started up again the next day, at 4:37 in the morning. Girard typically is at his radio studio in the Pinardville section of Goffstown around 4:00 AM to prepare for his daily broadcast, which kicks off at six.

At that time, 4:37 AM, Girard has contacted Little Mel to engage in what is part damage control, and part mind games. The sexter answered Little Mel’s last post of the night before, in which she said she thinks he’s “awesome”, with this reply:

“and now I know you are…I’m proud of you! You proved that you’re more than a sexually driven piece of mean last night. You have a good conscience and are concerned about the well being of your friends. might sound crazy, but it’s what I’d hoped you’d do. Your a good egg! Be proud of yourself. You have a lot to offer.”

After posting an open-mouthed smiley-face emoticon, Little Mel wrote, “it was sooooo hard to say no!”. Her post was made early six hours after Girard’s. It would be four hours before Girard would again contact Little Mel.

In that post, Girard continues in his guise of the Victorian reformer as sexual hypocrite, claiming that his intent all along was to test Little Mel with the idea of saving her virtue and uplifting her.

“I was counting on it and you didn’t let me down. See there’s more to you that what meets the eye,” he wrote, ending the post with a winking smiley face emoticon. [I have seen a picture of Little Mel with Rich Girard at his studio, and she is a physically attractive woman, a quality that he seemingly is referring to.]

A little more than a half-hour later, Little Mel wrote back, “and what if I had said yes?” before issuing what seems like a warning:

“And I’m like a transformer…. more than meets the eye.”

Little Mel would indeed morph into something quite different than the besotted fan of Wednesday night.

Friday’s Child

“Wednesday’s child is full of woe,” the Mother Goose rhyme goes, while “Friday’s child is loving and giving.”

The Little Mel of Wednesday, more akin to Friday’s child, was about to unleash woe onto Richard H. Girard, the sexting fool who postures as Mr. Morality to his audience on a Christian radio network. Apparently, she’d had enough with the mind games, and was tired of being hit on and used by men like Girard.

At 6:58 AM on Friday morning, which might have been a commercial break during the Girard at Large radio program, Girard replied to Little Mel.

“if you’d said yes? I wouldn’t have showed up and it my attempt to show you something about yourself would have backfired.”

These are the words of a world-class hypocrite and coward operating at “11” on a volume dial. In my opinion, these are the exchanges that definitively prove that this is Rich Girard.

Girard, who earlier was worried about a Fatal Attraction type scenario developing, now assumes the guise of “Mr. Morality” playing “Big Brother” cum Sylvia Plath’s “Daddy” to Little Mel, and inadvertently triggered a negative reaction in his now wary fan, who is appalled by the self-serving hypocrisy. She knew what the sexting Girard was after on Wednesday night, and it wasn’t an opportunity to uplift her. But for her own strength in fighting off her attraction to Girard, she believed, in my opinion, that a sexual tryst would have taken place.

Little Mel answered the post approximately an hour and a half later by asking, “Why did you feel you need to do that.”

Girard replied that he has been following her posts on Facebook, “and you seemed to need a challenge that might change your focus to someone other than yourself.”

He then talked about his concern for her mental state after having read some of her Facebook posts, then posted, “Can’t really focus on that now, doing an interview,” although the time of that post was 8:55 AM and the Girard at Large radio show had only five minutes left to run. Girard always is hustling, it seems: his audience, women fans….probably his friends, his family….definitely himself.

On Friday morning, the sexting Rich Girard of Wednesday night was attempting to justify his behavior, pretending that he wasn’t really inveigling Little Mel for sex, but had been putting her through some kind of test to boost her ego.

“Suffice to say I saw reason to act took a risk that might boost your evaluation of yourself.”

Little Mel dismissed the attempt by Girard to play psychiatrist, then lays into him:

“But it’s cool attempt to subdtly shame me as a way to boost my evaluation or whatever,” she wrote back. “Being sexually active or wanting sex doesn’t make me a bad person.”

“sigh….I give up,” Wednesday’s sexter responded at 9:47 AM Friday morning, basically telling her she had failed his test, which was a sham to being with.

“there was no attempt to slut shame you,” Girard continued, “only to prove you could put the needs of others/what was right before your own personal desires. That boosts most people’s confidence and sense of self-worth.”

This long post by “Richard H. Girard” goes on and contains a rather bizarre declaration: “BTW, I don’t get paid for every counseling session, so I have no desire to see behavior in need of counseling continue until the next session….”

The sexter of the Richard H. Girard/Little Mel dialogues likes to play mind games. This exchange makes one wonder how many other woman fans has he engaged similarly?

“sorry, I knew it was a risk,” the long exchange by Girard ended. The sexter than posts, “didn’t think you’d find a way to deprive yourself of your own accomplishment though./I guess I should have just left well enough alone.”

The dialogue between Little Mel and Girard ended with two post by Little Mel, made immediately after the sexter’s last post:

“but what accomplishment am I achieving? What does me turning you down have to do with anything? All it looks is you trying to set me up./And the thing is I generally always put others before me.”

The screenshots I received from a source end there. It was 9:50 PM on Friday morning. Little Mel began posting screenshots of the exchange on her Facebook page later that day. After hearing of her revelations, Rich Girard then called her on the phone and she hung up on him as he apparently was hostile.

Christian Radio

Will Rich Girard and the Girard atLarge radio program survive the revelation of these sexting dialogues? He broadcasts on a station owned by New Hampshire Family Radio (NHFR). According to its own website, NHFR is a part of Knowledge for Life, a tax-exempt, non-profit corporation focused on “religious and educational purposes”.

Knowledge for Life is an evangelical Christian ministry that spreads “the Good News thereby making it more difficult for anyone to go to hell.”

I am not trained in psychology, but Girard has always struck me as possessing a split personality. This duality in Girard’scharacter is always on display, on his radio show, and in person, such as when a cold but not unfriendly exchange between us in a men’s room at Manchester City Hall turned ugly. As I started to leave the men’s room, Girard suddenly drew himself up, his eyes going as cold and mean as those of a yellow-eyed junk yard dog, and challenged me to a fight. It was a real Dr. Jekyll turning into Mr. Hyde moment, and that duality is apparent in the Girard/Little Mel exchanges.

The owners of his radio station are intent on making it “more difficult for anyone to go to hell.” Yet, the sexting component of Rich Girard’s personality certainly seemed intent on going to hell in a hand basket last Wednesday, and on taking Little Mel along with him.

CORRECTION NOTICE: After speaking to Little Mel, I have changed two paragraphs to reflect new information. I originally reported that she had hung up on Girard because he sounded angry; in fact, she did not hang up on him, and upon reflection, she does not believe he was angry during the Friday call to apologize. On the matter of the IUD, they had discussed the device as two friends mulling over an issue concerning Little Mel’s health, not in terms of a birth control device.
