James Perry's driving record brouhaha spawns Helena Moreno's first attack ad
Posted by Kevin Allman on Thu, May 13, 2010 at 10:46 PM
With the revelation by Helena Moreno that James Perry, her opponent for the District 93 seat in the state legislature, has racked up 90 parking tickets, 42 traffic citations and has actually been arrested twice for not tending to his poor driving record, local political folks were waiting for the inevitable Moreno attack ad. The question wasn't whether it was coming; the question was when, and how strong a punch it would land.
Here it is.

Is this the first TV ad of any kind in this campaign? I haven't been watching a lot of television recently, but this race has been awfully quiet.

Wow. People who live in glass houses should DEFINITELY not throw stones. Will be interesting to see if all of the dirt on Helena comes out. I'm guessing it does.
So Gambit endorses Perry without doing its own due diligence, then frames this story as his opponent's "attack ad"? Perry's hundreds of violations, arrests, contempt of cour citations....isn't this the kind of stuff that Gambit is purportedly sick of in our politicians? Yet, aside from this blog entry, they make no reference in their last print edition before the election. They pretend it never happened. But we know it did. Why hasn't Gambit expressed at least disappointment at Perry's sins of omission, and how can they justify their endorsement of him especially since he's admitted to the facts on record?
