I just had to put my two cents in on this topic at DD! I don't often wish I could post over there ... but today I do wish I had posting rights.

Shimkus finally makes state law

Today we received an Order from Commonwealth Court designating that its memorandum opinion, as filed on March 14, 2008 wherein Shimkus was knocked off the ballot for the primary, is now designated a reported opinion. That means that this case can now be cited in otheractions where a candidate's nomination petition is challenged based upon falsification of the candidate's affidavit.

In that respect, his name will live on in infamy.
Seems to me that Joanne is giving Joe Credit for this .... hmmmm ... wasn't it Kevin Murphy who was successful in having Frank Shimkus removed from the ballott??? Noooooo ... I guess it wasn't ... because according to the goon squad ... well see for yourselves:

RE: Shimkus finally makes state law

Ya don't mean Frank's name will be "in the books" do ya? Nothing like a local political whore making some new case law in the state for lying about where he lived.How many times do you think we'll hear Murphy say the words "he (Shimkus) intentionally deceived the voters"?I caught Shimkus on 61 the other day for his half hour bull$hit session. I think we all need to send Prutistoa donation for eyeglasses.If I were a woman (happy I'm not Prutisto) and I woke up to thatwalrus beached in my bed, I'dget physicall ill.Don't the other candidates get equal air time on 61?

Good for you, Joe. It's great to see a candidate incumbent or otherwise challenged at the most basic level. Once they're in, we're all screwed, as we see with Doherty, Novembrino, Gatelli, McDowell, O'Brien, etc.

So for election law at least, you've made some headway. Keep it up. I think you're doing the right thing.

It's one thing to go to court and lose on a point of law no shame in that. But this opinion reads like a sordid story out of the National Enquire. He made no law in the house but did in the courts at least he will have something to put in his resume.

RE: Shimkus finally makes state law

No county commissioner had ever been taken off the ballot in the history of this county, at least none that I could find. No state legislator has ever been taken off the ballot, either, let alone both by the same guy. Toss in that the guy isn't even a lawyer and you got something pretty special there.



How about it ... it was Kevin Murphy who accomplished this ... not Pappa Pilchesky ... maybe I'm wrong .... Stacy if you are reading you may have information to share on this subject ... was it Pappa Pilchesky or Kevin Murphy who was responsible for this?

All I can say is this: when you are something like 3 for 28 in the courtroom, you look for victories whenever you can get them...even if end you borrowing someone elses. The truly ironic part is that you can't find a more a-typical Scranton Irish-Catholic politician than Keven Murphy, and Joe had to hitch his wagon to Kevin's for this "win".

If you count the fact that Frank Andrews-Shimkus isn't Irish or Catholic, then to me it sounds like Joe assisted the Evil Irish Catholic Network in another of their world domination schemes. Go Joe! First North Scranton...then Peckville...then THE WORLD!

He who laughs last.... I don't believe for one minute that Joe P innocently proceeded with the Shimkus challenge. Joe seems to understand how things work, and I'll bet he saw the implications of Shimkus being knocked off.

I'm also betting some how this will all play out against Doherty, since that's always been Joe's target. What better way than to get Murphy in the spotlight and then dissect him and connect him? Game of chess; take out the weaker pawns, then go for the king.

Or more likely, he's simply grasping for the slightest crumb of relevance, seeing as his primary goal, namely taking out Mayor Doherty, has been a monumental failure to this point. If he could touch Doherty, he would have done so by now. He's just a joke. An insignificant little joke.

Kevin's lawyer was top notch, he completely embarrassed Shimkus and cornered him, to the point where Shimkus said something like- If they want to try and take me down GO FOR IT.

Yeah Kevins Lawyer ... and I don't think that Kevin hired Pappa Pilchesky to represent him ... but he sure is taking the credit for this particular win.

There was a lot of overlap concerning the background information in the two actions, so Joe has to be given some credit for this one. The Shimkus legal team also made a fatal mistake concerning witness subpoenas which could have caused Kevin Murphy some headaches with his petitions.

But...what's done is done. Kevin Murphy can go apartment hunting in Harrisburg on April 23. Good for him. Timing is everything, but primary challenges take some fortitude.

Glenn,

You wrote:

"...so Joe has to be given some credit for this one...."


I'll be honest in that what you wrote bothered me on some level. Why? I'm still not entirely sure, but here are a few thoughts:

1. Credit for what? Protecting the residents of that district from the evil that is Frank Andrews-Shimkus? Granted, he (Shimkus) got what he deserved, but let's be honest here, does Pilchesky actually think that handing this election to Kevin Murphy will result in a material change for the better in the district? I have nothing against Shimkus or Murphy...in fact, I think they will be more or less interchangeable when it comes to actual performance in the General Assembly.

2. Yes, Pilchesky (along with Murphy) caught Shimkus breaking the rules, but what was in it for Pilchesky? I'll tell you what: it was an easy win so that he could say he got a win. Pilchesky no more wanted Murphy to win this one that Shimkus (hence the other challenge), but he know that he (Shimkus) was simply an easy target.

3. Extending your logic outward, you end up with the axiom about Mussolini...at least he made the trains run on time. Does catching Shimkus bending the rules somehow make up for all of the slander written and approved by Pilchesky on his website? Does it make up for the countless wasted hours in courtrooms in Lackawanna County by members of the legal profession (many of whom are on the public dime) dealing with Pilchesky's mostly stupid lawsuits? Hell, does it even make up whole Piccolino fiasco, where Pilchesky went out of his way to deceive you Glenn...smply because, I think, he could?


Yes, Pilchesky was part of the win here...so now is record is something like 3 for 28. In baseball that would make his batting average a lofty 0.107. Outside of inflating his ego and handing an election to Kevin Murphy, how is anyone served by this? If Shimkus is truly a hack, he would have lost the election to Murphy in the election anyway. As usual, this was for Joe, by Joe and about Joe.

He succeeded, yet again, in assisting in the removal of the election process from the hands of the voters. Nothing more, nothing less. As Ag asked, how is anything other than that clown's ego really served by this?

No one elected him to speak on my behalf. I will be writing in Shimkus simply as a big "F U C K Y O U" to Pilchesky and every one else who swallows whatever he feeds them.

1. Unknown.
2. The easy win required some due diligence.
3. Nope.

I believe Frank Shimkus would have lost the primary election in any event. But someone so clueless as to make an attempt to hide his true address and relationship from his "flock" needed to be removed from the ballot if the opportunity arose...which it did.

I will go on the record and state the reason that I was almost virulently against Mr. Shimkus is the constant refrain of "going down to change the culture" that he repeated ad nauseam in 2006.

Frank took his salary, every per diem he could grab, the free SUV, free fuel, and even loaded up on certain "unvouchered expenses" because, in real life, he appeared to be financially inept and required an almost limitless infusion of cash. The man apparently grossed over $100,000 annually, not including the pension and health care.

Disgusting. Will Kevin Murphy be any better? Probably not. But Frank is a hypocrite. Joe merely hurried the process along, for whatever reasons he had. It's a trap Frank could have avoided.

Pilchesky winning in court against Shimkus is the equivalent of my winning a 1:1 basketball game against Corky from the early 90's TV Show "Life Goes On": I hope it would make me feel good, as it sure as hell proves nothing else.

I understand your distain for Shimkus, but he's by far not the first and not the last to fatten at the Harrisburg troth. Anyway, since you mention hyocrisy, how about this: In this itteration of El Douche's* crusade to rid NEPA of corrupt politicians (and replace them with self-serving politicians more like Janet Evans) he has succeeded in doing what he himself cried so loudly about when McGoff was appointed to council...namely eliminating the very notion of choice by the people. The guy is throwing legal handgrandes into the water, picking up the dead fish and then claiming to be a world-class angler.

Admit it Glenn...he picked a fight he knew he could win just to have a win. Now Pilchesky's ego gets stroked by countless DD toadie ^5's and Kevin Murphy gets an uncontested seat in the most ineffective legislative body in the known universe, complete with most (if not all) the perks you tied to Shimkus. Great day for Scranton, huh?


(*) How's that for a tie to my last post...get it...Mussolini was called El Duce...oh never mind.
