		<description>Some more information on the Tandy-McGruder scandal:

Metro Council members tell me that Kenya was reprimanded during the Obama campaign for campaigning on city time and using city computers to send out email blasts and to do random politicking . But she took an I&#039;ll-do-what-I-want approach and David Tandy defended her.

Councilcritters at the time requested proof of what Caucus staff did during their work day and asked for examples.  Tony Hyatt, since he does his job, was able to produce everything necessary.  But McGruder wasn&#039;t able to produce anything and didn&#039;t bother to create so much as a list.

After the 2008 General Election, McGruder paraded around City Hall telling folks that she&#039;d secured a position in the Obama Administration (he didn&#039;t come close to carrying Kentucky - like he was gonna bring HER on - ha) and that she&#039;d do whatever she wanted until that point.  That job never materialized and she&#039;s since -- according to council people -- been a bit of a sore thumb who just cold doesn&#039;t do her job.  She allegedly only works with David Tandy and doesn&#039;t waste her time with silly things like, you know, working with the council.

On a number of occasions throughout the past several months, all kinds of people have informed me that they&#039;ve seen McGruder with Tandy&#039;s children during the work day.  Taking them to the YMCA, going shopping and meandering about City Hall.  And within the caucus personnel committee (or whatever it&#039;s called), there is plenty of documentation and gossip to be found.  So I encourage members of the media to dig in, lest they believe the absolute horse crap David Tandy and his friend/aide Rob Haynes tried to force down our throats on Friday.</description>

		<description>Gentlemen, please!  Time to repeat an oldie-but-still-goodie joke that&#039;s somehow pertinent to your thread - interjected here merely to lighten the proceedings:

Two guys are changing in a locker room, and one notices that his buddy is wearing women&#039;s underwear.

&quot;Good Lord,&quot; the guy asks, &quot;How long have you been wearing those?&quot;

&quot;Ever since my wife found &#039;em in the glove box of my car,&quot; his friend replied.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t live in Louisville (thus am not familiar with ES), but it was getting pretty redundant reading Ed &#039;plug&#039;  his radio show on PageOne/VilleVoice.

		<description>Actually, Ed, I stated that what you said was homophobic.  Went on to explain that you can&#039;t make loaded, homophobic claims and expect to be taken seriously.

World out to get you:  Every time something happens, you&#039;re complaining about Metro Government being out to get you, stalking you, being unfair, yadda yadda.

Making shit up:  When you flew off the bat a couple weeks ago about Brad Cummings and Jerry Abramson on your radio show.  You just cold made all that shit up.  You literally made up facts about Cummings never having done anything about Abramson.  You had zero clue what you were talking about and in your hatred of Jerry, you grew delusional and assumed that because Cummings wasn&#039;t personally stabbing Jerry in the eye, he clearly had never done anything or spoken up about him.

That&#039;s plenty of proof.

Interesting that you avoided addressing Dan Fendley, the guy behind all the Katie King attack mailers and the guy ghost writing all of your briefs in your hunt against Jim King. (His daddy spends all day reading and searching for Jim/Katie stories on &lt;i&gt;Page One&lt;/i&gt; from Oldham County Government computers)

I&#039;ve also done a little digging of my own and have discovered that there&#039;s a little situation involving you and a 2008 circuit court case that makes just about everything you&#039;ve said about Katie King&#039;s mortgage at minimum questionable and at most absolutely ridiculous.  But I&#039;m not interested in attacking you personally.  

You&#039;re still trying to justify your homophobic statement and are further and further slipping down the homophobic slope.  You&#039;re no longer welcome to comment here or on &lt;i&gt;The &#039;Ville Voice&lt;/i&gt; without comment moderation.  I have a zero tolerance policy for homophobia - no matter how veiled it is.</description>

		<description>lmao. Ah Jake I only mentioned you being gay because you make it a prominent part of your responses and accused me of being homophobic. I do not care one way or the other. What one does in the privacy of their home is their business I generally always respect that. 
 
And frankly you can check out the demographics for the radio show at WKJK they are public record. You will see that the demographics are thousands not tens of people.

Interesting you would  state &quot;..... you fly off the bat or randomly make shit up because the entire world is out to get you.&quot; 

Curious where your proof is I made shit up or said the world was out to get me. I frankly get a kick out of attacks like this without merit. Talk about making stuff up? lol.

I still fail to see the homophobic attack you are accusing me of as I have never attacked homophobia. 
 
You are the one who questioned in previous articles that Tandy does not appear to have balls, a sentiment I agree with by the way, so I would assume if he has no balls then that would be girly. In which case girls wear skirts. Easy connection. 

Have fun lol</description>

		<description>Yeah, struggle to be heard.  And struggle to be taken seriously.  All tens of people who listen to your paid radio program where you fly off the bat or randomly make shit up because the entire world is out to get you.  

If you don&#039;t harbor homophobia, the &lt;i&gt;do not&lt;/i&gt; drop homophobic attacks on people.  The excuse of knowing gay people won&#039;t cut it.  Nor will the excuse of suggesting that wearing a skirt means someone isn&#039;t a man.

I didn&#039;t once mention myself or sexual orientation in my response to you.

If you want to talk about agenda...  I&#039;ll talk about agenda.  You won&#039;t like it.  Nor will Mr. Fendley.

Take your bullshit elsewhere.</description>

		<description>lmao Jake. Struggle to be heard? I do fine thanks.

I do not have homophobia at all. As a matter of fact I have many friends who are gay and lesbian and know me better.

I do have problems with people who are in leadership positions lying about who they are like Abramson does. It does go to the question of what else is he lying about and those things are being found out now. 

And yep I am part of the reason why he gets questioned today. As are you and other bloggers who do not stand idly by.

The reference to Tandy liking to wear skirts was a reference to him not having any balls and following daddy Abramson around like a puppy dog.

Get over your one man single issue self promoting agenda and relax a bit. We all know you are gay you have not stayed in the closet and ran from it. Congratulations. I really do not care about your bedroom or sexyual habits. That is yor private choice not mine. 

Many of us actually support many of the things the gay community fights for everyday.

Chill.</description>

		<description>Tandy is nice enough a guy, but his aversion to making decisions is almost terminal. Louisville doesn&#039;t need a backpatting go alonger following the reign of Mayor McCheese. Louisville government needs an enema.</description>

		<description>Springston:  That&#039;s why you&#039;ll continue to struggle to be heard.  Because you do ridiculous crap like suggest that Jerry Abramson likes to cross-dress.  There&#039;s no reason you couldn&#039;t have just put together an argument - no matter how nasty (just like I do) - and left the homophobia out.

I dislike the man as much as you - if not more - and don&#039;t find the need to crack homophobic jokes because I think he&#039;s gay.  He could be.  Who knows?  I just know that no respectable gay person I know would get it on with &lt;i&gt;that&lt;/i&gt; mess.

That said - Not all gay people like to cross-dress.  (There are tons of straight guys who like to cross-dress.)  And if they did, what&#039;s wrong with what they like to do so long as it&#039;s not harming anybody?

If you can&#039;t attack someone for what they&#039;ve done in their political life, why resort to attacking their personal life?  Especially if they&#039;ve never been a hypocrite when it comes to their personal life and have never tried to do something while in-office that hurts someone in a manner in which you&#039;re attempting to damage them?

You kill your argument when you pull ridiculous homophobia out of your hat.  You force people like me to reconsider what you&#039;re saying.</description>
