A One-Year Look Back: Pam’s Approval of the Amerige Court Atrocity
It must have been pretty hard for Pam to try to convince her supporters how much she “respected” them – right before she went ahead and stuck it to ’em. Keller’s campaign promise of 2006 was to have planning be “driven” by public input, blah, blah, blah etc., but you get the feeling watching this clip that she had already long since made up her mind to go with the dee-veloper, and was just throwing some verbal crusts for her loyal subjects to gnaw on.
Pam’s comments were well-received by the Chamber lackeys and downtown Redevelopment toadies in the audience, but those who opposed the monster project and had voted for Keller’s promises to represent them rather than development interests, must surely felt just a wee bit, um, betrayed.
The “I’m so torn” plaint, the goofy half-grins, the eye lash battings, (all part of the “I’m just a silly girl” routine), are a pretty annoying shtick. But Pam had better be careful with the coquette act because some lonely swains like Dick Jones seem to get off on it. Check out the hand kiss at the end of the clip and Pam’s apparent revulsion – and then her flippant threat to take back her vote. Enjoy:
Pam went for the Pelican Laing deal? Did she owe them a big favor? Inquiring minds want to know!
Sad. Just sad. A worthless sell-out. But why? What did she owe the Amerige Court developer? According to Keller she doesn’t take money from developers. Or does she?
Joe, “But why?”, I’ll tell you why:
Fact: the only two kid friendly places downtown are the Gelato and the frozen yogert place, and Pams kids don’t like either.
Richard “Dick” Ham (dee-velopers lobbyist) promised her they would put an “ice cream shop” and build a “plazza” in the AC project!
Perfect scenario, her kids eating ice cream (which they love) while playing in a plazza, Pam drinking at a nearby booze joint schmoozing (smiling) on the collaborative’s dime listening to top 40’s music.
Pictures are worth a thousand words.
My mistress used to do that “I’m just a silly girl” routine all the time. But she was such a renob nobody cared.
Her supporters really got hosed on this one.
What is a renob?
Watch out Billy or I’ll come over and pee on your leg.
…a date that will live in infamy!
Living proof that Jan Flory’s dog is still alive.
well well, what we have here is just a little bit of “Chicago” style politics” right here is good ol Fullerton. She is just a silly girl/community organizer. And ultimately what we have here “is a failure to communicate”. Political crooks need to pay a visit to the grey bar motel even if they think the “I’m just a silly little girl” routine will get them protected them from prosecution or maybe we should call it prostitution for the special interests/developers/redevelopment committee/city planning staff in this case study that have destroyed this great city. Thanks you “silly little girl”. I wonder who counts the payola wads for her since we all know she is too silly to do that? You think she went to one of those smoky back room meetings with our own city manager and got schooled in Chicago politics? Maybe he even showed he how to bundle the cash and head the bills while he was taking a pay off from the attorney firm that this fine city sleeps with?
My guess would be Dick-Weed does the counting for her…
Now I understand why Pam hates blogs, or at least the ones that allow people to make comments.
What, a blog with no comments, who would think of such a thing?
Such negative people you are, Think possitive like PAM DOES….
Well, Pam has a lot to be positive about. Including the fact that until now nobody has scrutinized her record – especially on massive development projects- and what’s behind it.
Stick around PAM FAN. I think this is going to be “A Salute to Pam Keller Week” on FFFF.
