If you had been in a neighborhood GOP major for a state rep’s seat in Worcester County subsequent week, who would you fairly be endorsed by?
Candidate John Marsi is supported by the favored Republican sheriff, Lew Evangelides, in addition to by state Sen. Peter Durant and one other native GOP legislator, Rep. Donnie Berthlaume.
Marsi is operating in opposition to Dave Adams, who has the assist of two disgraced Democrat hack ex-state reps, Paul Kujawski and Mark Carron, who between them have been arrested 5 instances for drunk driving.
Five instances!
What made Milwaukee well-known made a loser out of Adams’ most infamous supporters. Both of them are within the State House Alcohol of Fame.
Like so many different Massachusetts politicians from Ted Kennedy on down, Kujawski and Carron apparently by no means listened to the lyrics of one other traditional nation tune:
“Drinkin’ doubles don’t make a party.”
And now the 2 dissipated Democrats are combating to make it possible for Marsi, the candidate endorsed by elected Republicans within the district, loses to their boy, who’s been desperately making an attempt to get Democrats to re-register as unenrolled to attempt to decide off the seat.
This GOP major is Tuesday, within the Sixth Worcester District, which incorporates the communities of Southbridge, Spencer, Charlton and Dudley. It’s an uncommon election, and never simply due to the crew of reprobates supporting Adams.
Until final 12 months, the district was represented by Durant, the Marsi supporter who received a straightforward victory final November to change into the brand new state senator. The basic election to exchange Durant as state rep shall be held subsequent month, on Super Tuesday.
But what actually makes this major marketing campaign totally different is that there are not any Democrat candidates. The winner of the GOP election subsequent week shall be unopposed on Super Tuesday.
So the dipso Dems are rallying behind Adams – in spite of everything, he’s named after a beer himself. If you possibly can’t again Sam, I suppose Dave is the following smartest thing. Kujo even reportedly advised somebody that he and Carron are in Adams’ marketing campaign “up to our eyeballs.”
Their bloodshot eyeballs? I referred to as Kujo to ask him about his odd assist of Adams.
“How did you get my number?” he started yelling. “Did one of your little bleeping rats give it to you?”
Unlike Carron, Kujo by no means went to the can for DUI. He’s not a jailbird. But when he was lugged, in 2004, Kujo was not solely charged with impersonating a Kennedy, he was hit with one rely of open and gross lewdness.
The story was, Kujo urinated on one of many arresting officer’s boots.
“I never pissed on that state trooper’s boot,” he mentioned, regardless of the cost. “Leave me the bleep alone!”
That lewdness rap is why individuals keep in mind Kujo greater than Carron, despite the fact that Carron’s been arrested three extra instances, and did a six-month stretch in 2012. The story is so memorable that in a later marketing campaign there was a mailing in opposition to Kujo that featured a drawing of a crimson hearth hydrant.
The caption subsequent to the hydrant learn, “Even dogs know where it’s appropriate to relieve themselves. But State Rep. Paul Kujawski, well….”
According to Kujawski’s arrest report, the troopers additionally requested him if he needed to go to the hospital.
“I may have,” he replied, in keeping with the official report.
“I’ve been sober for 20 bleepin’ years!” he yelled at me this week. “Dave Adams is a great guy.”
In his extinguished profession, Kujo was additionally fined $17,000 by the State Ethics Commission for utilizing his marketing campaign account for his, uh, journeys. To get by, he borrowed $ 5,000 from his Worcester colleague, state Rep. John Fresolo.
Perhaps you keep in mind Fresolo. He beat a wife-beating rap again in 1996. Later, there was an odd incident during which Fresolo discovered himself locked inside a cemetery after darkish after visiting a grave of somebody he refused to call.
In 2013, Fresolo lastly resigned from the Legislature after an Ethics Committee investigation into prices in opposition to him that concerned, amongst different issues, a younger feminine aide, a copying machine and what had been described as “Anthony Weiner-like allegations.”
Perhaps if Auditor Diana DiZoglio wins her referendum query this fall and opens up all of the NDA’s involving legislators and their aides, we’ll lastly get to the underside, so to talk, of what Fresolo was accused of.
Anyway, Fresolo finally needed to put a lien on Kujo’s home when he didn’t repay the mortgage. Eventually Kujo discharged the lien, in all probability after he doubled his hack state pension by getting “credit” for his years as an unpaid member of the native faculty committee.
“So how much am I getting now?” he snarled at me. Of course I’d already seemed it up — $37,899 a 12 months, or $3,158 a month.
“Is that too much?” Kujo yelled.
Hey, it’s twice what you need to be getting, you grasping hack, should you hadn’t grabbed the additional money for a “job” that you simply weren’t even paid for.
Did I point out, on Beacon Hill Kujo was on the Policy & Steering Committee? I don’t find out about coverage, however he did have an issue with… steering, because the state troopers discovered that evening.
As for Adams’ different huge supporter, Carron, his final arrest got here in 2012 in Auburn at 2 a.m. He was taking what he referred to as a nap in his automobile. His automobile was in gear and he had his foot on the brake, in keeping with information stories. They cops needed to pound on his window to “wake” the statesman.
According to Auburn police, earlier than stopping Carron had careened throughout a garden within the neighborhood. Carron mentioned an open container of brown liquid that smelled like alcohol was an “iced latte.” He advised the native paper he was “tired, not drunk.”
I referred to as Carron twice, to get his reason why a Democrat can be concerned in a GOP major.
I additionally needed to ask him if when he was doing his stretch in Worcester, he’d been positioned within the John “Spuds” Binienda Memorial Jail Cell, named in honor of the late “dean” of the Worcester delegation. Spuds was as soon as charged with making an attempt to wrap an electrical wire round his spouse’s neck after a Bud Light-fueled late-night dispute concerning the distant management.
The last time I phoned Caron and acquired voicemail, I advised him it was “last call.” Not even these ominous phrases acquired his consideration.
Seriously, is any Republican or unbiased within the district loopy sufficient to take the suggestions of those crapulous comrades?
Maybe Adams can nonetheless defeat John Marsi. Is it too late for Adams to seize the endorsement of the latest member of the Worcester DUI caucus, Rep. David “Sleepy” LeBouef, D-Dr. McGillicuddy’s.
Could LaBouef get an Uber to Adams’ last marketing campaign rally this weekend? Nah, in all probability not – Sleepy’s probation officer would in all probability frown on his consorting with, effectively, you already know.
