Will he break out in song and dance to Horst-Wessel-Lied ? :)

but Tim Greene was appointed instead. I was Chairman at the time,

Yeah, and that worked out so well for Tim, didn't it?

(For those of you not keeping up with the revolving door on Commission, Tim Greene was appointed on Black Wednesday, lost his seat as a result of the Sunshine Trial verdict, and then convincingly lost his bid to be elected in the Rep. primary in Feb. Even the support of the Pinkston machine couldn't save him.)

Brian, I am just soooo upset that you didn't use your zero influence to have me illegally named to Knox County Commission. You know how popular those appointments were in Knox County. Nice thought for you to believe that you were driving the bus on that one, though, when really Moore and his ilk had you onboard but only along for the ride. Of course, by inference, you are implying that you were the driving force behind the Tim Greene train. How did that one work out again?

As for Ruthie Kuhlman, I certainly wouldn't call her my friend. Neither would I say that Finbarr is my friend, either. I heard Ruthie speak to the YR's several months back, and some of what she had to say was impressive, some was not. If that makes her my friend, then we must have very different definitions of what a "friend" is. Quite frankly, I'm not sure if I would label anyone (perhaps Cory Johns) in Knox County politics as my "friend" these days. That's probably a good thing, too.
