Shorter Esmonde
Part of the running “Donn Esmonde is an Ass” series, “shorter” takes a typical 500-word Esmonde column and reduces it to a couple of sentences. I try to preserve the general tone and theme of the original column while boiling it down to its essential point. Think of it as a public service: I read it so you don’t have to.

Regarding the awful, horrible, soul-sucking pits of racism we call “suburbs”, at least one has thankfully come around to my way of thinking and decided to make their streets less treacherous.

If I were Bernie Tolbert’s campaign manager, he’d be losing in a different way. His refusal to read my mind and follow my phantom campaign strategy means he is “woefully unprepared” – not to be mayor, but to run for mayor.1
1As an aside, I will note that I receive all of Tolbert’s campaign releases and his problem isn’t not issuing press releases or holding news conferences quickly enough after news comes out – his problem is the town’s reductive media either ignoring him completely or preempting the mayoral race for Extra and Jeopardy. If Esmonde thinks that something’s wrong with the mayoral race, a lot of the blame sits firmly with the way it’s being covered.
Meanwhile, Tolbert is the first mayoral candidate to secure statements – on tape – from two police officers (who are anonymized to prevent retaliation) who explain how the Brown Administration plays games with crime statistics in Buffalo. It’s shocking.

A much softer tone after your Martha fluff moment about your easy bake oven. Little pizzas are awful cute.
Calling him an ass with the “Donn Esmonde is an ass” graphic is “softer tone”?
And you’re absolutely right. I have never used “shorter Esmonde” before – except when I used it on July 1, June 21st, June 25th of 2012, June 23rd, July 8th, and July 27, 2008.
I don’t know what a “Martha fluff moment” is.
I thought you were “done here”. You can’t stand how much you love me.
Have a great day!
The Corruption in City Government is astounding. Can’t help thinking the Republicans are behind it. Wait a minute, there ARE NO REPUBLICANS in City Government, and haven’t been for decades.
I don’t know what a “Martha Fluff moment” is either. Wonder if it’s something to eat.
Once again posting non or half truths as usual…….
It’s comical to watch these mayoral canadates campaign to suburban voters despite they don’t have a vote for city mayor.
