RE: Jennifer Gottlieb, “the sins we do two by two we pay for one by one”, and things to look for in any candidate for public office. Some comments on the article in the Miami Herald that reads like afternoon TV.

Ms. Dinnen,

When you were running for the Board of Education I sent you a mildly chastising letter about your campaign mailers. That these were put together with no regard for Grammar or Syntax told me that whatever your purpose in being elected education was not high on your list. Some of the howlers, if memory serves, could be labeled under “egregious”.

Today’s lessons in Ethnics and History are offered in a spirit of “I know, you don’t, so listen up”.

It appears that Jennifer Gottlieb gives new meaning to the term “horizontal tango”. She was busier with her yoo-ha than the one legged entrant in the Ass Kicking contest. Who knows how many hombres filled Evita’s dance card? She had nothing on this dame. At least she got some songs written about her. Besides, in Broward County, a hotbed of modern American Liberalism, a coven filled with advocates of moral relativism, a place where Dr. Mengele would be elected overwhelmingly because of his progressive record on women’s reproductive rights, the public response would be “So what? They’re adults.”

The lesson in ethics is both priceless and senseless.

“Anthony Alfieri, director of the University of Miami’s Center
for Ethics and Public Service said there should be
rules preventing conduct like Gottlieb’s.”

Where has this beardless naïf been?

Would Agamemnon have gotten Ulysses and Achilles to sail to Troy if Helen had been a stay-at-home Mom? What did David send Bathsheba’s husband on a suicide mission if not for a bit of Old Testament gobble? The Camelot couple? Eloise and Abelard? Dante’s pair? Preventing conduct like Gottlieb’s? Madness. “Outlawing”, maybe. “Preventing”, never. Better you pass a rule allowing dawn to get past the rooster. Have we forgotten President Handsome Billy from Hot Springs, the King of the One-Eyed Trouser Snakes, after getting home from church and sending his wife and daughter to the second floor of the White House while he played “hide the salami” with an intern barely older than his daughter?

Being from Hudson County, New Jersey I am trying to see what was in it for the catcher in this indoor game of finding the elusive G spot. It appears that she didn’t do it for the money, the sign of an honest hooker. She did it for a happy beaver, a smiling bearded clam. Either way she is unfit for public service.

James Madison, and I hope that you know that in addition to being the 4th President of the United States that he wrote the Constitution, was asked what was the most important attribute to look for in any candidate for public office. “Character, Character is all” was his response.

Broward County can’t even get its school buses to run on time. Why should we expect some bimbo charged with the task of guarding school age children to keep her drawers on?

PS – Is there any truth to the rumor that she was going to have the local woodworking class put a portable French Knocking Shoppe on the roof of the Board building?
