Lenz the Swinger

The Occhipinti campaign is trying to stir up trouble.

Today, one of their people sent me this photo with the message:

Mike Lenz is a swinger. He swings both ways. Sometimes he pushes from the rear. Hard. With both hands. Or uses the left, then the right. And he does it in the park, standing up. The bastard.



What is wrong with the Occhipinti campaign? They'll pick on anything.

So what if a Dad swings his kid (Jonny) in a Hoboken park. With his other kid (Ben) watching.

Jeez, those negative-campaigners- what will they attack next? Lenz's penchant for polyester slacks? His fondness for horizontal-striped polo shirts? His dated brown loafers? (pssst... Mike. Call me for some 21st century fashion tips.)

I don't live in the 4th Ward but I hear Timmy's Nasty-grams are arriving in mailboxes all over that ward.

Please, someone: save them and forward to GA.

Thank goodness, Mike Lenz is running a positive campaign.

He CAN because he KNOWS the issues and actually can talk about them extemporaneously without reading a David Cruz script from a binder.

Timmy's magic binder that puts words in his mouth.

Poor Timmy.

He CAN'T run a positive campaign because he CAN'T talk without his binder. And he CAN'T talk to anyone who may ask a challenging but fair question. Like Da Horsey.

He won't return his calls.

Message to Mike: don' t listen to the Occhipinti campaign.

Keep pushing that kid! Next to
that bush! Push, push, next to that bush!

  2. G-d only knows, janis.

    I hear they're throwing mud thick and fast over there in the 4th.. while Lenz talks about issues.

    Like in the DUH-bate. Lenz was thinking through his answers, Timmy was thinking about where David Cruz put them in his binder. Hence the 'pauses' he warned us about.

  3. For the record, Tim has never returned calls or email. I did hear he was suffering from a worse case of Equinophobia than Beth Mason.

    BM to her credit will answer questions as she recognizes she has responsibility to do so. She may not always want to but she has been professional in that respect.

    I approached Tim after the debate and thought to ask one or two off the top of my head questions. He agreed but then when I asked him the first question, he couldn't answer and tried to pass it off to I think the Jersey City guy, David Cruz.

    I said, "Tim I'm asking you - you're the candidate."

    It went downhill from there. And fast.

    The binder story only became clear when the photos came out and you could read the actual script word for word on the page. Nice photo Grafix.

    Tim has been polite when we've spoken briefly over recent months. I waited until only now to ask him one question. As a taxpayer, the idea he should be allowed his hands on a $100 million budget with a hand in my pocket without even answering a question is appalling.

    As he walked away, I said "Tim you're not even going to answer one question?"

    He hasn't spoken at recent City Council meetings either. They don't want him to talk it looks like. They want to drag him across the finish line ahead any way possible. Tim speaking to any questions isn't part of that script.

    It's tough to say who wrote all of Tim's words. David Cruz surely read it and had a hand in approving but he's a Jersey City maven, not Hoboken. Tim's stage mom sat in the front though and followed along word for word.

    It's now radio silence from Team Tim. Agreement made on an interview at the highest level have been quietly reneged.

    Stop the spread of Equinophobia in Hoboken.

  4. Thanks, Horsey for setting the record straight.

    Timmy needs to be popped into that Equinophobia graphic I did for MSV.

    "As a taxpayer, the idea he should be allowed his hands on a $100 million budget with a hand in my pocket without even answering a question is appalling."

    Amen.

  6. I think the Old Guard is running the political version of Menudo. When a member runs out of steam politically, or gets too old, they go backstage and become a "consultant" and a new, young haircut steps out from the wings.
    It reminds me of the old joke where a man has trouble with his studly male cat going out every night and having his way with the ladies. So he has the cat neutered, but after the healing, the cat is out on the prowl every night anyway. Curious about this, a friend asks the man why the cat is still out every night and the man says "he used to go out every night to have his way with the ladies. Now he goes out as a consultant".

    BTW, GA, was that you who made fun of MY video selection yesterday?

  7. Oh, that's a good joke, ply.

    And it has a cat in it, which makes it better. 'Cause I'm gaga for cats. Meee-ow.

    As for the video... what's wrong with it? Don't you like her moves?

    I'll bet she can even limbo!

  8. Next they'll be saying those kids were actors hired for the day- I hope Lenz has their birth certificates at hand ;)

    Hilarious post GA- you almost had me...

    Great photo- a wonderful side of Lenz that too few people see and too few people are willing to acknowledge or imagine. There's nothing like meeting a person's family to know them and Lenz has a good family.
