So the latest rumor that’s going around City Hall is not only damaging to the reputation of Kansas City but also demonstrates that the “Orange Revolution” was nothing more than a twisted little lie.
The talk is plain and it comes at the expense of Mayor Funkhouser’s integrity:
CITY HALL DENIZENS ARE SAYING THAT THE MAYOR FUNKHOUSER AND HIS WIFE ARE LOOKING FOR KANSAS CITY LAWYERS TO REPRESENT THEM PRO BONO IN THE MAMMY-GATE CASE, THESE SAME LAWYERS MIGHT ALREADY HAVE A CONNECTION TO CITY HALL!!!
TKC doesn’t do legal reporting or much reporting at all so I don’t know if the rumors are correct . . . But the talk is undeniably out there . . . And A LOT of people at City Hall are questioning Mayor Funky’s ethics and integrity.
What’s more important to me is that this serious charge is commonplace at City Hall and very few people really have a problem believing it. This kind of talk demonstrates that Mayor Funky has alienated a great many City Hall workers and they don’t particularly like or trust him.
If the Mayor was smart he might actually make a move to answer the speculation and quiet the rumors . . . Sadly, at this point the Co-Mayors won’t answer many questions and seem to be completely on the defensive.

I’ve heard this one too. I had the good sense not to believe it.

The Gruesome Twosome should be worried. When they lose the lawsuit, they will then have the task of dealing with the public relations fallout (which they probably won’t care much about) and the problem of figuring out where to get the money to pay Ms. Bates.

So where does this leave Kansas City?
With a Mayor that’s begging for legal services.
Wasn’t there a judge who got in trouble going down this path not too long ago?

I saw this coming a mile away. These guys are freaking hilarious.
“Orange Revolution”?
If you consider a bunch of stuck up rich white people campaigning against a candidate because of race a “revolution” we have some issues in this country.

Mind you, let’s not believe everything this “joke blog” has to say. If you look closely there is some clever phrasing in play here. TKC isn’t saying that the Mayor is getting pro bono legal work done, he’s saying that there are rumors to that effect. I think that’s what we call a Mexican hat dance.

Tony could care less about causing misery for others as long as his self-serving agenda is promoted.

People lighten up, when Funk wins this one Tony will be left with egg on his face yet again and he’ll have to invent some other controversy. I’m actually looking forward to it.

Who may have been on the law firm list that squit purportedly had generated to ask for pro bono work?
I doubt that any managing partner will lie for these two, if the story is true. And what an awful place to put the firms in, if the mayors’ were stupid enough to follow that plan.

Mayor Gloria loves free stuff.
She wanted a Free Honda.
She played favorites with free Chiefs tickets.
She talk all the time on her free Iphone.
For Bigfoot Gloria the Mayor’s office is all about freebies.

“A LOT of people at City Hall are questioning Mayor Funky’s ethics and integrity.”
Like we (the residents of KCMO) never questioned it to begin with? Who voted for this loser, anyway?

Next time I am voting for the negro. I don’t care who it is, at least they can keep their bitches in line.

This format blows.
And, uh…KMB…the brothas keep they bitches in line by fleeing the scene as soon as they knock them up.

I love the Gloria stuff. I saw this coming from the day he was elected and found out he takes his wife to work everyday. She is an idiot and Tony…..I love your blog.

Blackwell Sanders is representing the co-mayors. the question is, arte they doing it pro bono or is someone else paying?
22 anon // Jun 11, 2008 at 4:43 pm

Don’t you mean Funky wants something for nothing? He’s the one that’s getting free legal work.

Only because a minority is looking for money for nothing
