The following is an excerpt from Geoff West and The Bubbling Cauldron- http://abubblingcauldron.blogspot.com
Like a bunch of bullies, confrontation, intimidation, and extreme poor judgement are all examples of what we don’t need from our leaders- Costa Mesa Deserves Better!
THREE STOOGES PLUS ONE
Several reports from the event, including directly from Foley, Humphrey and Leece, informed me that Righeimer, Mayor Pro Tem Steve Mensinger, Mesa Water District Board candidate Ron Amburgey and Costa Mesa Sanitary District candidate Chuck Perry wandered into the meeting at the Greenleaf Mobile Home Park on the Westside of town, hunkered down and then began asking aggressive and challenging questions of Foley. At one point Righeimer was so rude, interrupting Foley during a response to a question, that Leece had to remind him that this was not a council meeting and he should just be quiet. I’m told the assembled group did not take kindly to their interruption of the event, and that the mayor was actually jeered.
THE EXCUSE FOR EVERYTHING!
This, of course, is bad form – even for them. Reports from the scene indicate that, when challenged on the issue, Righeimer is quoted as having said, “It’s only politics.” – as though bad manners and equally bad judgment can simply be brushed aside as “politics”. That tells you a lot about the man.
FAIR IS FAIR, RIGHT?
So, I guess it will be OK for Foley, Humphrey and Leece to waltz into any future fundraiser/meet and greet held for any of those men and just begin asking probing questions and interrupting, right? Fair is fair! After all, “It’s only politics.”
