Yes, I think Dom very eloquently used the best tactic possible during yesterday’s proceedings. He more or less used the "are you still beating your wife?" version of guilt deflection by bringing up something obscure, years old, offers no proof and then gets his stooge Clerk to play the same tune!
Further, imagine ANYONE acting the way this buffoon acted yesterday in front of him as Council Chair. Just imagine what he would have done.
However, what amazes me the most with the rest of this Council is the lack of leadership as well as fear of not stepping in, voting him out as Chair, firing this Clerk and moving on.
Let’s face facts – ole bellicose Dom is done with Hawaii politics. As well as his stooge Clerk. What COULD be gained in public trust if the other 8 Council Members would act with a brain would be monumental. Instead, the lack of any competent action shows that quite frankly the remaining 8 are just as useless and arrogant as the Chairman.
That being said, about the only thing the public can do is to GUARANTEE the non-election of any current Council member. Especially Ford. Who I think should realize that if none of this had happened, she most likely would have been next year’s Chair. At this point, her reelection is more or less not going to happen.
I would say ole Dom is at about the same emotional and mental point Nixon was when he uttered his “I am not a crook” line.
