Poll Dancer

All the men come in these places
And the men are all the same
You don't look at their faces
And you don't ask their names
You don't think of them as human
You don't think of them at all
You keep your mind on the money
Keeping your eyes on the wall

He's your private dancer,
a dancer for money
He'll do what you want him to do
He's your private dancer,
a dancer for money
And any old music will do

He makes more than 300,000 dollars
He wants to live out by the sea
Fill his wallet with your money
With no-bid contracts for Hudson County
All the men come in these places
And the men are all the same
You don't look at their faces
And you don't ask their names

He's your private dancer,
a dancer for money
He'll do what you want him to do
He's your private dancer,
a dancer for money
And any old music will do

Deutch marks or dollars
American Express will do nicely, thank you
Let me loosen up your collar
Tell me, do you wanna see me do the shimmy again?

Readers, shimmy on over to Hoboken Journal and take your pole and G-string with you. Da Kurt's got a great piece on a some Paul Swibinski monkey business going on over at a Hoboken Reporter web poll.

The web poll accompanied the HR's story on Hoboken PBA President Vince Lombardi's 's criticism of the mayor's plan to layoff 18 police officers. You see, Mr. Swibinski's company, Vision Media, is consulting for the Hoboken PBA and wouldn't you know the web poll asking "who do you think is right in this debate, Mayor Zimmer or the Police Union" flip-flopped from Zimmer ahead by nearly a double margin, to an overnight tsunami of Police Union votes washing the mayor out to sea. In web-speak, that's SPAMMING.

Swibinski.... you're so BUSTED.

Well, it appears counter-insurgents have come to Zimmer's rescue, but not in the sheer numbers that Swibinski has marshalled... he could have done this with automated proxy-server software. Or, Da Kurt discovered the poll lets you vote more than once after you end your web session.

Call it cheating the 'old-fashioned' way.

In any event, Swibinski is quite the Poll Dancer.

He's gyrated those poll numbers up, and up, and up... wiggled his little moneymaker to the ka-ching, ka-ching of his client's growing tab, and stuffed plenty of G's in his G-string.... because according to The New Jersey Civil Circus Cablevison host, Bill Brennan, the lady makes a pretty penny for his shimmy, in the neighborhood of $300K per year.

WOW. For that much loot I could be persuaded to do the Devil's work. You think I'm kidding?

I am.

This one's for you, Paul.
