Since I am always at risk of taking major heat every time I attempt a light hearted parody, here is the thought process that went into my latest creation:
No, I do not think Beth Mason looks like Frankenstein but both are manufactured. He is much taller but Beth is still scary and here is why: It is conceivable she could waste up to $500,000 or more on the second ward re-election effort in 2011 and that prospect is simply scary. Scary, not because she will possibly lose with poor tactics or of the money that will be used on useless video ads, but it is about the money used to attack whatever opponents get in her way in any way possible. It is the potential for the breakdown in the political discourse through intimidation and any sense of fair play that scares me the most. It taints the process and discourages good people from wanting to get involved. Perhaps they fear their resume will end up on Hoboken 411 even though they were not a final candidate. Some people in this town are literally afraid to speak out against this woman but not this blogger.
So yes, Beth Mason has been transformed into something monstrous (like Frankenstein), a desperate politician seeking power at any cost. Of course there is the ever loyal Igor portrayed by Lane Bajardi who seems content on going down with the Titanic. Hence, today's Friday Jib Jab. Share your thoughts below:
