The Pilferin’ Paulette Slime Trail
There is something special about overweening political ambition. It gives off a distinct odor and that smell isn’t appealing. It affects people of all ages but is particularly redolent among the youthful and the elderly. Kids may be excused, somewhat, for giving olfactory offense, being callow and everything. In time they may even grow up to be employed members of society. But in the old the stink is unforgivable.
And so we come once again to the shallow, desperate and almost comical campaign by Paulette Marshall for the North Orange County Community College Board.
You may remember purple Joker suit-wearin’ “Pilferin’ Paulette from such hits as being busted for stealing campaign signs while running as a fake Fullerton D5 carpetbagger; or her running fruitless and expensive scampaigns for the County Board of Education; or her getting a stooge to sue Tim Shaw to make way for her own election on that Board, a failing gambit that cost fellow Dems their only incumbent on the OCBOE.
FFFF also knows this aged miscreant as the photobombing publicity hound who pops up in almost every picture taken in Fullerton. Her equally loathsome husband, Doug “Bud” Chaffee made her his “ambassador” to the County’s 4th District, a move concocted to keep getting her mug in civic group pictures.
Anyhow, Paulette has never let a moral code restrict her political ambition and she is at it again. Her campaign website features, among a litany of images, some where she is seen posing as a philanthropist sponsor of some kind.
See anything wrong?
Yep, Pilferin’ Paulette makes it appear that she is already on the NOCCCD Board, not that she is a mere candidate. And I’ll bet the farm those sponsorships and her little self-congratulatory signs were paid by by her own political campaign.
If you think about it, this is a sort of theft, too – stealing the public trust, in a way.
I’m not going to pretend that the choices are good. Another candidate is the almost militantly stupid and inarticulate Jesus Quirk-Silva, whose political ambition to jump from his at-large incumbency, created the return of Jan Flory.
Both of these awful choices seem to suggest that the NOCCCD incumbent, Jeffry Brown may be the best choice, given the options. He’s never stolen anything like Mrs. Chaffee, or skipped out on a teacher job to work for a politcal lobbyist like The Jesus.
This is her 5th try election in 8 years?
Jesus H., how many millions has she blown through?
Brown looks like a televangelist. And not in a good way.
Evil hippy spirits, COME OUT!!!!
That pretty funny.
When the best and the brightest don’t run, somebody else will.
She won’t go away. Like toenail fungus.
Worse. Herpes.
No
I remember that fake interview she did that was supposed to look like an interview with a real journalist. Please run that again. Jesus Quirk is asking.
And she produced phony journals featuring her role as an educator.
Judging by the photos, Paulette already has one foot in the grave.
She’s gotta be pushing 80.
“The Right Leader for the Future”
The right leader for the past. No, that isn’t correct, either.
Corpses look at Paulette and say, “Man, she looks worn out.”
That’s a future leader right there.
Is it legal to take campaign funds and donate them to 501(c)(3)’s?
Or is she donating from her own money?
Her hubby Doug Chaffee “donated” the $50,000 salary increase he voted for himself at the OC Board of Supervisors to the University of Redlands towards a scholarship fund for enviro studies students. Can we just make a very large business card for the Chaffees that says “Chairs of Southern California Association of Neighborhood Board Chambers Directors” and be done with it already?
Jesus is dumber than a sack of hammer heads but next to The Bride of Chaffee he looks stellar.
That poor old lady is a fashion nightmare.
Proud sponsor of Equine Therapy.
Yep, those Chaffee’s sure have their fingers on the pulse of the common people.
Nothing comparable in stench to the odor of this political initiative.
That’s your armpit you’re smelling Johnnie. Wear some deodorant asshole and save the rest of us the stench!
You have to change your underwear at least once a week. Mommy will do your laundry.
She’s a fucking fossil. Why can’t she just enjoy her millions, morning tennis and three martini lunch like every other wealthy white woman with one foot in the grave?
Good rhetorical question. She’s obviously jealous of her dopey husband’s almost inexplicable lurch to power when she was always the brains of the operation – such as it is.
But she obviously believes she is Heroine and Deserves.
If it weren’t for the 2012 recall Bud Chaffee would never have gotten elected anything and the Chaffees would be millions richer.
The consequences of Tony Bushala. Thanks asshole!
Haha. The Law of Unintended Consequences!!
