Thanks to AWESOME TKC TIPSTERS and a great many other folks . . . It is my duty to report a SERIOUS challenger to my favorite lady on the City Council.
I'm delving into Kansas City's history from quite awhile ago on this one . . .
WORD IS CIRCULATING AMONG LOCAL POLITICAL DENIZENS THAT FORMER EDC CO-PRESIDENT JOHN CRAWFORD IS CHECKING OUT HIS OPTIONS FOR A CITY COUNCIL RUN IN THE 4TH DISTRICT AT LARGE!!!!
Crawford has more connections than current 4th District At-Large challenger Anne McGregor and he's also generally regarded as a very skilled dude.
While I would walk to HELL AND BACK FOR MY COUNCIL LADY BETH!!! . . . It's hard not to worry about a challenger of this caliber as The City Council races finally start to take shape.
Developing . . .
Beth wins!
ReplyDeleteIt is pretty clear that Anne McGregor will not get the job done. Anne is not that bright, and she only got into this thing because Harris Wilder was playing to her ego so he could play with her hangers.
ReplyDeleteBeth still has access to Daddy's money and now she has a new Sugar Daddy. Advantage Beth.
Beth keeps getting challengers because she's not really sharp enough. She looks disheveled and bewildered at many appearances. This is a terrible combination. If you're somewhat disheveled but are sharp, focused and knowledgeable (Deb Herman)you can make it. All of this probing is mainly for these reasons in spite of TKC's humor and love for her.
ReplyDeleteWe really need another corporate weffare champion on the council.
ReplyDeleteI'm not aware of anything Beth has done. She's certainly not been visible addressing any of the city's most important issues.
ReplyDeleteWhy is she so swell Tony? I'm almost afraid to ask!

ReplyDeleteShe gave Jim Giles a job.
Since Erotic City, New York Times and Rays have all closed, Jim Giles would have a lot of time to kill all day without being employed by Beth at City Hall. On top of that Jim's breath has improved ... some.
So Beth has done something.
I still don't get close enough to Jim to see if his breath is better. It has scared me so in the past.
ReplyDeleteI am going to go jab my eyeballs out now that I have the image of Harris Wilder playing with anyone's boobs in my head. He sure talks shit about Anne now that he is cut off from his fun bags.
Just what KC needs! Yet another person who's way more interested in what she is than in what she does. And being on the KCMO council seems like a mighty low bar!
ReplyDeleteBefore picture from one of the dentist ads?
ReplyDeleteI think 7:24 nailed it! The development community must be promoting him up to maintain the stranglehold they seem to have over the council.
ReplyDeletewhat do you all think of this Scott Wagnor cat?
ReplyDeleteI've love cats, but I wouldn't vote for one.
ReplyDeleteWell, I can tell you this ... I know Crawford, and Tony's on the mark here.
ReplyDeleteCrawford's smart and well regarded. What many people don't know is that he is the guy who wrote Missouri's CID law.
An interesting turn of events.
How is he going to explain away the non-economic development in KC (except for tax give-aways) under his reign?
ReplyDeleteWe need a lady candidate that is smoking hot and has some nice funbags. Jolly and Circo are alright, but we need a true hottie on the council. Is it too much to ask for a little nip slip at City Hall?
ReplyDeleteSkin to win!
ReplyDeleteBeth "Where the hell is my zanax" Gottstein needs to hang it up. She hasn't done anything except play up the gays and do favors for her friends.
ReplyDelete10:42. Agree, and gays aren't as stupid as she thinks we are!
ReplyDeleteWe need Airick West to run.
ReplyDeleteAirick is 3rd District. And lord knows we could use some new blood there.
ReplyDeleteHow about Tony's mom again. Then he can start another blog bad mouthing her opponents, oh wait thats how this blog started.... I'd vote for Tony's mom. Her slogan should be with a son like tony she's ready for the rest of the Bastards of Kansas City.
ReplyDeleteGo Crystal Williams!
7:36, "Since Erotic City, New York Times and Rays have closed", they all go to the basement bar at Side Streets bar now for their bj's.
ReplyDelete10:08: What about Gloria? She's hot in my book!
ReplyDeleteGloria S. True dat.
ReplyDeleteThe TIF lawyer mayoral candidates will need some help if they are elected so he's perfect.
ReplyDeleteGloria is SEXY!
ReplyDelete2:59 PM Hahahahaha! but seriously, John Crawford is a nice guy. I am glad we are at least getting some interest in this council district. Jan, Beth Oh yeah and Anne... just nothing there.
ReplyDeleteCrawford's connection with EDC is something to think about.
Crawford is a "nice" guy, but ask anybody who's really worked with him and you'll soon learn he's one of the most clueless guys out there. He knows economic development - circa 1995. Yes, he helped write the MO CID law, but CIDs and TIF are his answer to everything. Unfortunately, all he knows is economic development. Yes, he's polite and friendly, - a "nice" guy. In terms of effectiveness, however, Crawford is what people accuse Beth of being. Given the choice, I'd go with Beth every time, even though I'm far from a fan.
ReplyDeleteBeth's friends get on here but she's not highly regarded by much of anyone in her district (otherwise). She faked the flakyness during the last cycle but won't pull it off this time.
ReplyDeleteshe won't have pat gray to create the credible candidate image for her this time.
ReplyDeleteBeth didnt pay Grey last time. Outstanding bill.Ask anyone. Shes checked out and not running.
ReplyDeleteBeth got plastic water bottles band from city hall as she was drinking from a plastic water bottle.How persuasive. Go girl.
ReplyDeleteDoes this mean you no longer agree with your own blog entry? http://www.tonyskansascity.com/2008/09/beth-gottstein-is-still-batshit-crazy.html
ReplyDeleteStill trying to figure out tonys obsession with Beth...Darla jaye I get,but Beth?!
ReplyDeleteWe need to see pictures of Anne's Hangers!
ReplyDeleteSHOW THEM!
What are hangers?
ReplyDeletemelons, breast boulders, lolly lumps, knockers, teets, titties, boobies . . .
ReplyDeleteYou can always call Beth for whatever you need help with. When she calls you back a month later you can't remember why you called her. Problem solved. Thanks Beth!
ReplyDeleteAnd to all the gay people out there, don't you get sick of celebrities calling you "their gays"? It sounds like you are pets or something. Tell them F-you and the little dog you are carrying.
Anyone could beat Beth. Shes had enough.
ReplyDeleteall female candidates ought to be required to pose topless on TKC
