Mark Matzen used improperly obtained recordings

On Wednesday, the executive director of the Assembly Democrats issued a Fatwa on Republican Assemblyman Parker Space (Sussex-Warren-Morris) demanding in the name of his caucus that the Republican resign because he used a five-letter word:  B-I-T-C-H.  Curiously, Matzen was a key New Jersey apologist for William Jefferson Clinton when all those women were coming forward claiming to have been sexually molested by him in the 1990's. 

Let's be clear.  According to Mark Matzen, an elected official can use an intern for oral sex in the oval office, and he should NOT lose his job for that.  But if an elected official says the word "bitch" then Matzen just can't contain himself, loses his ass, and demands that he be fired.  UhhhHuh...

Matzen played the shill for the molester-in-chief, but he called Republican Space "an example of what can happen when a political party embraces the worst of human impulses and turns a blind eye to the ugliness brewing in its own backyard."  And you wonder why people think political spin artists like Matzen suck?  You wonder why people think those who employ them suck?

If using the word "bitch" is the "worse of human impulses," then where does that leave Mr. Elton John?

Or Meredith Brooks?

Matzen was only too happy to suck up money from his fellow Clinton sexual molestation apologists at MoveOn.org.  Get it.  It was right to "Move On" from the sucky sucky at the White House (everyone does it!) but you have to make a federal case out of the word "bitch" (how outrageous, nobody EVER uses THAT word...).  Funnier still is that Matzen himself is known for having a rather salty tongue and has been known to heap abuse of a far worse kind.  Matzen is a real champ when it comes to pissing on people.

We do not know from what source Matzen obtained his copy of the improper recording of a personal conversation between Parker Space and a friend, but it is clear that the friend -- a woman who happens to be the Executive Director of the Sussex County Democratic Committee -- is very unhappy that she and Parker had their privacy stripped from them by Matzen and his allies.

We note that this is not the first time that Matzen has come under fire for the improper use of a recording.  The last time involved a congressional candidate.  We hope a pattern is not forming.

We all remember how Democrats and, it must be said, some Republicans, spoke about Governor Christine Todd Whitman (and how even Democrat women chortled at this).  The hypocrisy, and the purple prose, and the false outrage are about as believable as a claim that the average Democrat legislator has never paid for sex.  And you know what that means?  It means that they probably participated in human trafficking -- the modern slave trade.

Now that is truly "disgusting conduct" and a "regressive worldview."  That shows a real "lack of respect for women" or anyone with less money and means than your average double-dipping Democrat.  It indicates that someone is "absolutely unfit for public office."  And, if we may use the words provided in a different context by Mark Matzen, such a legislator should be "denounced" and asked to "resign."  Those Legislative leaders who do not ferret out those among their caucus who use the innocent victims of human trafficking "are complicit in promoting" modern slavery.

So ends the sermon Mark Matzen should have delivered to his own people.  We wish him the best in uncovering the less than virtuous amongst his flock.  If he needs assistance, we will be happy to provide it.

In the meantime, if Democrat Matzen would truly like to do some good and show respect for women, end disgusting and regressive conduct, and show that he is fit for the office he holds, he could ask the Democrat caucus to allow the Human Trafficking and Child Exploitation Prevention Act to the floor for a vote.  No purple prose, hysteria or hypocrisy... just let it come to a vote so that children may be saved from sexual slavery.

Chair Currie proves Dems have a sense of humor

It was a moment of mock seriousness when Democrat State Committee Chair John Currie commented on an aside made by Republican Assemblyman Parker Space to his Democrat opponent at a debate Tuesday night.  Trying his best to maintain self-control, Currie said that the "episode was no laughing matter."

We all thought he was about to lose it but you have to hand it to the gentleman, he has self-control.  Tight-lipped and buttock-clenched he continued:  "Elected officials have a solemn duty to work on behalf of their constituents to promote a safer, more prosperous New Jersey.  Assemblyman Space’s statements from last night suggest that he is neither capable of nor interested in fulfilling those responsibilities."

And then we all started laughing, rolling around on the floor, crying even.  There wasn't a dry pair of underpants in the room. 

Who did they get to write that?  Maybe it was the lobbyist who signs all Currie's checks -- Democrat State Committee Treasurer Kelly Stewart Maer.  Remember her, Mr. Chairman?  Did you keep track of all those critters she lobbied for during the past twenty or so years?  Those are not mere words, those are actions.

Your Treasurer -- the person who signs off on every expenditure made by your committee -- is a master of the over-the-top hyperbole  you are engaging in now. Need we remind you that in 2003 (when she was a lobbyist shilling for the corporate man) she actually accused Senator Loretta Weinberg of pandering to pedophiles.  We shit you not Mr. Chairman.  That's the hammer your Treasurer laid down on Senator Loretta -- and mightily pissed she was too. 

Now we don't want to be telling you your job, Mr. Chairman, but you used the words "solemn duty."  Are you kidding?  You have Democrats in the Legislature who think it's their "solemn duty" to have their love-interests employed at taxpayers' expense.  Need we go there?

But hey, if you really and truly are concerned about elected officials who appear unwilling or disinterested in fulfilling their "solemn duty" to "promote a safer, more prosperous New Jersey" then we want you to call this number...

(856) 251-9801

You recognize that number?  Yep, it belongs to your good buddy Senate President Steve Sweeney.  Now brother Sweeney has bottled up an important piece of legislation designed to crack down on this...

You, Chairman Currie, you should call Senate President Sweeney and ask him... no, Mr. Chairman you should INSIST that Senate President Sweeney allow that legislation to come to the floor for a vote when the Senate is in session after the election.

See, Mr. Chairman, until you can GUARANTEE that violent attacks like this will not happen to New Jersey families people will want the right to protect themselves from violence, bodily harm, and death.  And with police response times falling in poorer and working class areas, it is especially important that people are allowed to defend themselves.  After all, the Democrat Party can hardly ask people to suffer violence and death just so a few rich lobbyists can make a fashion statement.
