Here’s Scott Maxwell of the Orlando Sentinel, from his blog, with my emphasis:
The board first wanted to know about what we’ve written much about here already — his strategy to paint Democratic Clint Curtis as a loony tune. Feeney’s response was basically what I’ve said before –that he tried to ignore Curtis, but that Curtis has accused him “of murder, putting scorpions in his glove box, killing his dog … and knowing about the 9/11 attacks not only before they happened, but before President Bush was elected.”
The board seemed to still have some concerns about this strategy and his use of accusations of mental illness as an attack. But they didn’t get too much more into it. I imagine they will when/if Curtis comes before the board. (And by the way, Curtis says he never accused Feeney of everything Feeney says.)
As reported extensively at The BRAD BLOG during the past two years, Clint Curtis has leveled several specific accusations at Tom Feeney. The chief allegation is that Feeney requested Curtis to design a software vote-rigging prototype (a computer program which appeared to be a simple vote-counter but which was in fact something else). Curtis has taken — and passed — a polygraph test in support of his allegations. Feeney has not indicated any willingness to go near a polygraph.
For more on the Clint Curtis / Tom Feeney story, start here.
Wow…Feeney’s really losing it.
Does he really think people are that stupid?
My guess is that Feeney will have a hard time controlling himself in a public debate, where he has to respond to real issues rather than fantasy. He’s operating in emotional mode, so will be relatively easy to rattle with logic.
GO GET ‘IM CLINT!!!
When can we look forward to a public debate?
Obviously Feeney wants to get it down to the level of “he said/she said” in order to diffuse Clint’s argument about Feeney’s underlying dishonesty. I somehow doubt he will allow a debate to go on. But, Clint may just say “OK lets get out the polygraph dude”, I will submit to it, will you?
Clint should do more than a polygraph. What if Feeney does it? What if he takes one? I’m sure he can find some way to rig that, too… He could draw out the whole campaign on issues around a polygraph and still wind up passing; just as NFL players learn to pass piss tests…
Polygraphs are not infalible; which is why they’re not allowed as court evidence…
Clint should go for the documented stuff; the Wang stuff, the Chinese spy stuff. Hammer him with that. And bash him with the Abrimof and Bush/Cheney stuff.
And guard the vote totals (how?)!
shw
So did Maxwell get it right this time…and I wonder if he ever did bother to read WP’s corrections of his last blunderous writings?
Shannon – I agree.
I would not be surprised if, at a debate, Feeney whips out some polygraph results that are supposed to show he is also “telling the truth”.
It would be all-too-easy for a Feeney sympathizer to “perform” a polygraph test for him, and pass him.
Clint should be ready for this kind of “surprise”, and i agree he *should* concentrate on the documented stuff..
Feeney will be boiling under the surface like a volcano ready to blow. Watch him sweat like Whitney Huston playing tennis in hell and then Curtis will say just the right word and Feeney will have a nuclear meltdown. He has a reputation in Orlando for having a few beers with friends in a public place and then shooting-off his mouth for anyone within 100 feet to hear what an asshole egotistical self-riteous narrow-minded snobby bastard he is. He really roasted Al Gore the night Al conceded the presidency in 2000; it even made the papers. The debate should be fun, especially if he has a cold one just before to calm his nerves.
Notice, Feeny brought up 9/11. All this stuff is backfiring. The ABC 9/11 propoganda special has been a free boon to the 9/11 truth cause, thank you ABC. They’re all fucking up!!! Thank you! We should’ve known, help would come from the most unlikely sources! It always unexpectedly happens that way. Next, Feeney will bring up Ray Lemme!!! Give ’em enough rope, and just sit back and grab some popcorn!
I think Feeney’s looking crazier and crazier! Who’s for going to the Feeney/Clint debates with Ray Lemme posters? The sweat will be pouring off Feeney like the “Tell Tale Heart.”
Feeney’s about to find out it’s a lot harder to have an honest debate with an honest guy then it is to be a ruthless crony.
Suicide is the only option Feeney! Can you hear the voices….
Drink the Kool Aid!
Drink it man!
