RE: “Gee thanks, Mom. I always wanted to be a Congressman. I’ll make you real proud when I become a Senator on my own” or so says Kenny Boy in your profile of him in today’s Miami Herald Page One story.

Ms. Reinhard,

You say Congressman Meek’s opponent is “bare knuckled”. If all he says is that Momma helped her Sonny Boy the campaign of 1800 will continue to be the meanest, dirtiest campaign in American political History. And that was done without electricity. Actually she willed her seat to him and she did it without dying. I guess that means she opposes the death tax.

If memory serves all criticism of President Bush began by comparing him to Hitler. After that it went down hill. All that his mother did was to rent her Rolodex out for $8,000 am month plus a brand new “no carbon footprint” Escalade. Small potatoes.

If that’s all she did she would hardly fit the paradigmatic template chiseled out by the active grifter members of the Black Congressional Caucus. Congressman Rangel and Congresswoman Waters leap to mind. Since I am from New Jersey let me add Congressman Payne to the list of pols “who seen their opportunities and took’em”.

About your article…

If, as you say, Congressman Meek’s sit in at Governor Bush’s office led to “a statewide campaign to register black voters” would it be post racial of me to ask how that went. Jesse Jackson makes a good living every 4 years getting a sack filled with cash and a credit card from the Democratic Party to register Black voters. By now there should be more Black voters than there are Black citizens. If Cook County can have certain districts where the vote total is 112% of the population who is to say that Black voter registration can’t be 138% of the Black population?

My question is simple.

Why isn’t this electoral power used like the “condo voters” use theirs?

Congressman Meek is on the Ways and Means Committee. Why didn’t you ask him if he learned anything from Cash Cow Charlie, the reigning Artful Dodger who doubles as the Chairman?


Congressman Meek was graduated from Florida A&M University in 1989. He is a month shy of his 44th birthday. His student loans have been outstanding for 21 years. How much does he owe on his student loans? Why hasn’t he paid them?

You say his two children are in private school. What is wrong with the public schools where he lives? Why don’t they attend them?

You quote Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz thus: “If I have a brother in arms, a brother in the causes that matter to us and who represents more closely the values and reasons I ran for office in the first place, it’s Kendrick Meek.”

Her three children attend a private school whose annual tuition times three boggles the mind of people in the real world. It could feed one of the poorer tent cities in Haiti for a week, maybe two, if we leave the fish heads in the stew. Maybe that’s why she voted like Congresswoman Waters to give her husband’s bank a special deal.

In the years that they both have been in Congress not one vote has ever been cast by either of them against the egregious excesses of public education. If it so God Damn good why don’t they send their kids to one?

The only possible explanation is that if you are a card carrying modern American Liberal you never have to say you’re sorry...

If Kenny Boy wins the August Primary the only way he stays competitive in the November election would be if he can prove that his opponent was financed by the Taliban to blow up the BP well
