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!
