White Mike: Voters Aren’t Stupid
While driving around with Councilmember Phil Mendelson this morning, we ran into his arch-nemesis, Shadow Senator Michael D. Brown, at Lafayette Elementary. I asked him why he didn't put his middle initial on his yard signs, just to, you know, clear things up. He responded that he's never campaigned with his middle initial; why would he do so now? Voters know the difference.

this man is a complete fraud

As opposed to Mendelson who talks out of both sides of his mouth? A man who cultivates a false persona of contemplation and verisimilitude and then twists like any other tin political weathervane?
Give me a break, Joan.
The Wrong Brown is the Right Man to send Mendelson packing. Wrong Brown could sit mute for 4 years and be less damaging to public safety than 4 days with the Demon Mendelson as Public Safety Chair. This city is about to get a real break.

Flernty- aren't you a stalwart Fenty supporter and isn't increases to public safety one of his most coveted platform? So, for Fenty, crime has been reduced and the city is looking good, but for Mendo, disaster! Need him out immediately. Ok, the hypocrisy of Fentites.

See, unlike a lot of Gray supporters (named Adrian Bent-me) I rely on actual facts to ground my support of a politician, not emotion. Mendelson has hampered public safety reforms 99% of the time, but then, duplicitously, changed his opinion and "got tough" when he knew that to stick to his guns (no pun intended) would harm his getting a fat council paycheck. Ironically, all of his pandering (to both sides) and reliance on the ignorance of the electorate may backfire on him today. With any luck, anyway. Mendelson is the WORST.

Thanks for the article pal. You should read it as well. There doesn't seem to be any data that supports the claim here and Mendo was simply asking for more.
So crime has gone up in the City? Wait, then Fenty is liar. I'm not following here. The facts you present here seem to contradict what Fenty's been stumping on. I'm just not following here... I guess I'm too emotional.
