@TomK. Sorry... slept in. So yeah, the video pretty much says it. She kept yelling for five or ten minutes outside, while Tiffany was giving her closing, Yeah, after that, Tiffany was supposed to give her closing. So Tiffany used her time to own up to the roast, and claimed it was all in good fun. I realize that RJ is RJ, but when she slammed that paper down I could see how maybe some folks could think it was about to get physical. Love the way little Fran Pueo put herself between the two "combatants."
So what's the deal about this roast? In another thread I questioned the thickness of Tiffany's skin, but it' starting to feel like everybody in Puna is so proper and precious that they'd just burst into a million pieces if you disrupt their delicate sensibilities. I poked my head into the roast, but couldn't stay because they were serving alcohol and I was with my underage niece. The minute or so I witnessed was indeed raucous. It just wasn't too terribly funny. But the roast was not by invite only. Other candidates could have attended and it was advertised for over a week prior, so this idea that it was some secret thrashing of the other candidates and the people of Puna is just silly. And yes, Tiffany owns a paper. And yes, it's probably not the most balanced news organ in all the land. But when RJ pointed the finger of shame and shouted "j'accuse!" because a newspaper dared to print words about a politician without first obtaining that politician's permission... well, that tickled me.
Nobody in the council 5 race helped themselves yesterday. Except maybe Tiffany, because she didn't insist that the police be called. Although we'll have to wait and see if she does something silly like call a lawyer, or opine in BIC. (Just let it go, Tiffany...) And she did own up to the roast, and admitted what it was. A letting off of steam. Perhaps ill advised. But oh well, this isn't suddenly proof that as council person she will kill puppies for fun or something.
The good news is, it's almost over folks.
