Herenton’s Outer Circle

” Don’t you like my new pink Socks?”
Well, it seems the plot has thickened for old Taterhead. It appears that the Feds have been giving Mayor Herenton the slow kill, just like he has been giving Memphis since his arrival. The Feds are making sure that they have all the evidence that is needed to get a conviction.
The Commercial Appeal has done such a fine job in reporting about Mayor Herenton, and they deserve all the thanks in the world for their thoroughness. They have even convinced Wendi Thomas to take a few swings at him. I bet that was hard for her to do, being that she leans somewhat hard towards a “Great White Conspiracy”, in absolutely EVERYTHING she writes. She teases us every once in a while with stories that have no mention of race, then she gives you an old “Orange Mound Sucker Punch”, right in the pie hole. I can just imagine what she really thinks of white people, and man, it’s probably hard as hell living with her; All digruntled and E’rthing. It is truly sad that she has made her living on the race soapbox. Anyway, that is a whole other story. She is really beyond help, so I will just stop right there.
But, back to the matter at hand, I think that the players from out of town that were called to testify before the Grand Jury, will prove to be a feather in the FED’S hat. They have no local ties to the city, or the “Great One”, and probably had no knowledge of the “trickery” that Herenton had planned. They don’t want to end up in federal prison. They just wanted to do a deal and make some money. This will definately make them just come right in and tell the truth about the matter. If they have nothing to hide, that’s probably what they will do. As far as Charles Carpenter goes, he’s probably been lying for years, and it makes sense for him to just keep lying. Old Smile’n Elvin Moon, well, he’s been telling all, I’m sure. Ol’ “No Bid” knows what the score is, and should be prosecuted just like Willie. Moon knew he was doing wrong.
All of this stems from the fact that Herenton has played the race card so much since he has been in office, that for years, nobody wanted to speak up for fear of being labeled a racist, or having their business ruined financially. People had to play the game. Now that the FEDS have been playing “tag you’re it”, people are talking in full force because the tide has turned. They know that he is on his way out, and the people that had to take shit all these years have been waiting for an opportunity to tell what they know. Again, thanks to the Commercial Appeal for the Tn. Waltz investigation, which is probably where some of these leads came from, as well as the persistent, non-bias reporting on Herenton.
I am really curious to see how Herenton and his attorney can explain all of this. I mean, I really want to see how the race card gets played in this situation. In my humble opinion, Herenton has set race relations back to the time of MLK, and he has done this all in the name of self promotion and profit.
I have faith that the FEDS will convict this racist loudmouth that has raped and pillaged my city. I for one will be sitting front and center when it happens.

This is long overdue. I hope they take down the whole of Taterhead’s apparatus while they are at it. From “No Mess” to “No Mas”!

Wendi has expressed her discontent with Herenton numerous times over the past few years in her columns. Her sentiments of the mayor didn’t just spawn overnight; she has made it abundantly clear that she is no fan of the mayor.

Wendi Thomas is a no good racist. Plain and simple..

If the glove does’t fit, you must aquit! yo ho ho. Oh wait, more than the glove fits. As it seems. Your honor, this conviction should be thrown out because i am black. That should be reason enough. The armed robber down the street should use that one as well. Get Jonny Cochran. Is he available.
