"Apparent Inconsistency Haunts Candidacy"

For those preferring paper-and-ink newspapers to the newfangled e-versions, we present the bottom half of page one of today's Daily Bulletin. We suggest you go to the newstand to get your own copy.

The article referred to in the previous post made the front page.

You've got to think it's not your day when you are running for Claremont city council and you have to decline comment on an article until you can consult with your attorney. The article explains, "...an attorney was going over the statement and she [Bridget Healy] would make a comment after the attorney's review."

We are reserving a space here for her comment, and just as soon as we receive it, or read it, we will put it in.


We can't imagine what her mouthpiece will tell her to say. Perhaps it depends on what the definition of "is" is. Probably it will be something along the lines of, "there's no inconsistency at all here", or maybe she'll try to foist the whole thing off on her hapless Honorary Chairs, Georgeann Andrus, Jim Merrill, and Mary Jane Merrill.

And what about that campaign manager, Gary Riley? As they say, "With friends like that..." Any statement that puts your candidate's name, Bridget Healy in this case, in the same paragraph with "low-down, underhanded, lie, cheat, [and] steal" well, that's got to be one for future textbooks.
