We're so proud
By: Rachel

We in south Knox county are so proud of Commissioner Victoria DeFreese. I especially want to thank the Commissioner for making me laugh my, umm, head off on what had so far been a crappy day.

McNutt parody here. Sorry, Scott, this is one of those cases where the original is the parody.

R Larry's reaction is the funny part. He sounds jealous. I'm happy to see DeFreese doing something productive.

Productive? Perhaps. But, certainly related in no way to her role on the County Commission. I don't want to see commissioners using official stationary to publicly announce they are playing golf for some disease, building a habitat home, or collecting canned goods at a food drive. She's developed a bad case of "look at me now" lumpyitis.

Much Ado About Nothing

Curious that the KNS devotes column inches to this and zero, none, zip, nada, to our middle-age mayor and his embarrassing escapades, the $40,000 grant money that went missing, and any in-depth reporting about the stinking compost testing... Trying to distract reader's attention from anything important?

KNS motivation

Submitted by Rachel on Sat, 2008/07/26 - 1:34pm.

Didn't DeFreese send out a press release? Wasn't she asking for attention? Isn't the KNS only giving her what she wanted?

Bird_dog's picture

She did.

And it was over the top - but it's not the job of the newspaper to "give her what she wanted." They could have easily ignored it.

IMO DeFreese & RLarry are both ridiculous a good deal of the time. If the KNS shares that with its readers, I'm ok with it.

Here are two narcisists that are just trying to "share the stage." Let's thank the KNS for this so-called news story. Thank you for wasting our time
