Mason Backs Christie-Pol, Plots Against Fulop

Mason valentine to Governor Christie: backing South Jersey Senate President Steve Sweeney (right)

"Oh, what a world! What a world!" cried the Wicked Witch of the West as she melted under a pail of water thrown by Dorothy.

"Who would have thought a good little girl like you could have destroyed my beautiful wickedness!"

It looks like Hoboken's Wicked Witch of the North, Councilwoman Beth Mason, has thrown the water on herself this time. 

Mason's bucket of water is her endorsement of Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop's presumptive opponent in the gubernatorial race who is a close ally of NJ Governor Christie.  

How close? Christie and his staff lobbied Senate Republicans hard to oust popular Republican Tom Kean Jr. as NJ Senate Minority Leader. According to Business Insider:

 Why did Christie push for this? Because his success as governor has been largely predicated on his good relationship with Democrats — especially Senate President Stephen Sweeney. Kean and Sweeney are in the midst of a nasty feud that sprang up when Kean campaigned hard against Sweeney...

Now, GA applauds bipartisanship; Dems and Repubs working together for the good of their constituents.

In fact, Mayor Zimmer has an excellent bipartisan relationship with Christie that has served Hoboken well; remember how  Christie gave Hoboken 5 million dollars to keep the hospital open after Mason, Occhipinti, Russo and Castellano refused to bond that amount.  Note Zimmer has never bashed Christie, while Mason has attacked the Governor in numerous TV ads such as this one:

And she's dissed him publicly.

Mason refused to sit on stage with Christie when made his first visit to Hoboken. Nope, Mason snubbed him by sitting in the audience while other Councilpersons followed protocol and sat on stage with the Governor.  From the audience, she accused Christie of "putting forth a cut in hospital care" to which he responded "Wrong!", then 'bopped' her:

Sources say Mason refused the NJ Assembly slot before it was offered to Carmelo Garcia because she would NOT endorse Christie.

And now?

Mason is embracing the Republican party through the back door by supporting Christie-man, Stephen Sweeney. 

This after Mason is believed to have given $250K to the Democratic Party candidates in 2012.

(Pssssst... GA's heard that Christie has a strong distaste for our Wicked Witch of the North.)

Backing Sweeney pits Mason against most Hudson County Dems who will support Fulop, except Union City's Brian Stack and Bayonne's Mark Smith,  allies of Sweeney's.

Well, it appears Mason's mud-machine has moved on, out of Hoboken into Jersey City.   

GA hears of a plot to destroy Fulop's right-hand man, Tom Bertoli, through dissemination of some very dirty false rumors.  And boy, are they dirty.  Yikes.  The theory must be that knocking out the smart and street-wise Bertoli is the path to taking down Fulop.

Mason tried the same stunt last year in the Jersey City election.  Her filthy fish-cake was shopping an old document and news clippings to the media, giving out thumb drives like candy, in an effort to destroy the career and reputation of Bertoli, thus dirtying up Fulop.  You recall Beth and Ricky Mason sank a fortune into Healy's campaign.

Now you have Mason throwing a dessert-reception with Sweeney next week at the league of Municipalities in Atlantic City, and low and behold vicious rumors about Fulop's right-hand man, filthier than ever, are starting to blow about.

Classic Mason.  Ask Ravi Bhalla.

Well, since everything Mason and her fishy operative do turns to shit, GA wouldn't bet on this smear campaign going anywhere.  

Speaking of her failing fluke, "no one" has seen  him since he was outed as double-crossing Frank Raia and his boss Beth Mason, by canoodling with Ramos' people Mark Albiez and Paul Swibinski throughout the mayoral campaign.

Because where Mason-mud goes, her mendacious minnow can't be far behind.

I suppose Beth Mason and her perfidious perch ought to come with warning labels- they are the Kiss of Death to any campaign they touch.

Does Sweeney know Mason-backed Move Forward campaigned with SWASTIKAS on a 'Nazi Truck'?
