DePetro Redux

The John DePetro Imbroglio     

Just days after Mr. DePetro made, at the very least, hateful comments about women protesting a Raimondo "Campaign" Appearance ... A "Grass Roots", "Spontaneous" (although Spontaneous has never had such great production values before ...) campaign has risen to rid the Rhode Island Media Landscape of the ever controversial DePetro ...

God Bless'em ... It's about time we saw some decent political theater round here ... Social Activism doesn't have to be so darned earnest all the time

Sooooo .... Let's watch the Candidates do their best to "Never Let A Good Crisis Go To Waste ...."

Gina ... Let's be blunt ... she's not exactly making history among Union, or Women Voters. Any opportunity to appear sympathetic (read pander) to the same, simply can't be missed .... Folks, if you ever had any questions about political loyalty, they were answered here ... A frequent guest of the DePetro Show, she never missed an opportunity to indulge in John's Sloppy Wet Media Kisses ...

Fung? Given the Gender Gap that even the most liberal feel good RINO experiences ... summoned his most potent outrage for a forum that he too, has routinely supped at ... I'm wondering if he did a push poll before his brave condemnation ...

Block? This is the biggest disappointment ... Ken Block has gone through a significant political maturation process over the last 2 years ... He does not engage in the "Student Council I'm Gonna Get Rid of Homework" Rhetoric that has been the hallmark of the Fung Campaign ... And he has consistently called for banishing the social issues that typically became the source of outrage porn fodder in the Lil Rhody Gubernatorial Campaigns of the past. I expect more subtlety from him ... Perhaps appearing on Dan Yorke's show to discuss the issue ...

And of course, late to the party as always .. the Regrettable Mark "Automatic" Smiley, of Gun Raffle Fame ... Someone woke up Mr Smiley from his political slumber and pointed out that the RIGOP would be the odd man out, if they did not jump on the Boycott Bandwagon. So jump he did ... appearing as Tone Deaf as ever ... (BTW, where is the usually indefatigable (and Former PRO Employee) Doreen Costa? Genetically unable to avoid a photographic device, she seems to be MIA ...

To My Point:

Individuals have free choice to listen to, or participate in a show like DePetro's, at their sole discretion. However, public officials refusing access to an entire media outlet is a dangerous precedent ... Using the power of government, which was granted to them by the electorate, to effectively quiet the media? Whether it be in the name of some feigned interest in defending the honor of womanhood, or more likely, in limiting media insight into Rhody's Scandal Du Jour ... Obscene ... Boycott DePetro? No problemo ... Effectively shut down WPRO, probably the only state wide media outlet that continually challenges the status quo? ... Disgusting ...The Urinal, of course, can't wait to pile on their media (and advertising do re mi $$) nemesis.  And the late, band wagon reaction of Smiley/Fung is typical ... They are reacting out of political fear ... Believe me, there is no courage being displayed on either side of the issue.
