@ 30 I think you're missing a few things tho ... it's not always the word(s) it's the obvious meaning of meaning(s) behind whatever you say/said.

Geez, just when you thought it couldn't get any worse. Nickles brought her flowers today (because, hey, that's what you give an angry woman, right?) by way of apology. Cheh coyly responded that she likes chocolate too. These two deserve each other. And I've got a strong suspicion Chehrish doesn't live in Ward 3. Remember that the Sosua hearings were closed door at Cheh's/Mendelson's behest and Moten forced his own testimony into a public context. Did any report or follow-up come out of that investigation? I don't think so. Cheh's just a Perry Mason wannabe -- she sucks as a Councilmember/representative. But hey, as long as you're enjoying the show...

Cheh is awesome. Did you all see the disposition she held over the Sousa ambulance thing with our main man Moten as the witness. Her and anger doesn't equate because if it was me, I would have jumped over that desk and bitch slapped Moten's wannabe gangsta ass. However, she clowned on a different level, being patient to his erratic demands and bullish statements. She never buckled even once and though she talked down to him, she didn't have a choice, because he's just that stupid. I can't see how anyone could want to bash her for raising concerns about the lack of transparency in the Fenty's administration. She's looking out for our best interest and as a result gets bashed, in a very personal manner, over this. I don't understand this. Cheh is fucking awesome. Nickle and his lowness Fenty, needs to be in jail.

Tina, you must be Pete's PR person. The police union is kicking Petey's ass [what about the recent suspension of the local's president? you lost! that's what], the gay marriage lawsuit was a sitting duck, & Petey will NOT win the arrest case on appeal. Nice try, you spin like a Washington spinmeister general, but - you lose. Pete loses.

&, sadly, the District loses until this clown Nickles is kicked to the curb.

What do you mean, "what is Nickles winning in court?" He won the challenge to the out of state gay marriage lawsuit over the summer, he keeps beating back the irrational police union in their nonsensical litigation (please note that arbitrators NEVER rule for the government), DC seems certain to win the 2005 anti-inaugural arrest case on appeal, among others. I know you don't like the guy, but his team of lawyers does win cases.

Yeah, this is a stretch. Should he have called her an "angry man," or what? She is a woman for Pete's sake. We seem to be fast approaching the moment in our society when no words may be used at all to refer to any person except "person." Perhaps even that will be objected to for pointing out that the entity in question is not an ox, streetlamp, slice of pizza...

Jamie analyzes the issue perfectly; JC's insight is accurate. Law student - learn welding. It's a better job, & you obviously have no idea on what "winning" means, so, since law is a win-or-lose profession, you'd be better off in a different career. As for Skippy, D Rex, & the others - when you are the target of ad hominem smears, you won't be so pleased with yourself. You're just like most people: if someone unfairly targets your race, gender, etc., you're all upset but if it's someone else's race, gender, etc., well, then it's OK & the person complaining is the problem. You all need several years in a good communist re-education camp.

What is Nickles winning in court? Please tell me. I can't think of one victory: AHOD, the police roadblocks, CFSA, Pershing Park, the gun case. All losers.

Hartsock was also bullied and undermined for being a woman...but that wasn't sexist wasn't? Cheh is angry, Candycane is angry---but who cares?

Cheh keeps saying that Nickles breaks laws but Nickles keeps winning in court. Even the child care legislation that Cheh is blaming Hartsock for is flawed. Cheh is losing on all grounds because her hate for Fenty is driving her insane. She is angry because she is losing the confidence from the morons in the council who onced trusted her- she is also angry because she is losing the confidence of Ward 3 residents. She is talking too much, making wrong alliances in the council, and getting carried away by her hate. She is smart woman but not smart enough to know when to quit.

Mad Al:
I object you your objectification of women in calling me a "cunt". I am 100% sure your use of the word "cunt" offended someone, somewhere, who had nothing better to do than to be offended!
Perhaps it even offended some highly accomplished female who is busier, smarter, more powerful, and makes more per year than all the people posting on this blog do combined!
Who will speak for that hypothetical person? The person who is too busy throwing stones and otherwise living her life to comment on others' opinion that she has been insulted?
Oh, wait, Kwame will.
ROFL

Skipper- You sound like a royal cunt. Rez- You are a royal cunt. MikedaDyke - you are correct.

DRez is correct here, which makes neither Cheh nor Nickles right. Both should know better than to publicly sling these kinds of insults at one another. Let's see who is first to acknowlege that he/she was wrong.
