As we roll into Day 10 of O'Misery in O'Maryland, we embrace the fundamental LACK of leadership that O'Guvnah represents. He's less than a pretty face in the State House. He's a Crackberry addict working hard to bring his spectacular string of failures from Baltimore City to the ENTIRE state of Maryland.
That's right, O'Guvnah's goal is to bring the same crime problems, budget problems, school problems, and cultural problems to the Entire State, from the golden seashore of Worcester County, the mountain majesty of Garrett County.
But today, I want to look at dumbass comment number 1,300,364,223 from O'Guvnah.
On the Mark Steiner show on WYPR yesterday, O'Guvnah was asked about the plan to put the slots issue square in the hands of the voters through a questionable (but completely immoral) amendment to the State Constitution.
O'Guvnah had a shining moment to show some real leadership here. Instead, he stuck to the game plan of the last three months, dropped the ball, and muffed the punt.
"I'm sick of the issue. Let's move on to other things."
Really?
You are the FRAKKING GOVERNOR OF THE GREAT STATE OF MARYLAND. Why don't you pull your man card out of your wallet -- it's there, right next ot Sade Baderinwa's old phone number -- and tear it up, because "manning up" is the last thing you are capable of doing you neutered Leprechaun.
Your job is to LEAD. That means putting forth your policy argument, and working hard to bring on board as many people as you can. You think the fight is over because you were able to roll Michael Busch? Hardly, because all of us conservatives are going to come hard at you on how you are abusing the state Constitution's amendment procedures. There will be no pot of gold at the end of this rainbow O'Guvnah. You are going to have to fight, persuade, argue, convince and more EVERY DAY until November.
If you are sick already, you are in trouble. And so is the state. Because being sick of something isn't leadership. It's cowardice. You don't have Ed Hale and Ed Norris to hide behind anymore. You can't fire the Maryland voter like you dismissed Kevin Clark when he found the smoking gun notebook. You can't cut the knees off the Maryland voter like you are trying to do to Nancy Grasmick.
Your approval ratings -- if this is possible -- are worse than President Bush's. Think that will help you in your play to be Hillary's running mate? No, because we are going to pound on you like a pile driver between now the Democrat National Convention.
Everywhere you turn, people are going to ask you, "So are you sick of this yet, too?"
You won the battle.
We will win the war.
Because you can't lead. You can't lead a fat guy to the all-you-can-eat buffet pancake supper on Shrove Tuesday. You can't lead to a fart after lunch at Taco Bell. And you certainly cannot lead this state.
