Hot Gossip – Dem Pick Up Opportunities Abound
Representative Bob Valihura is getting divorced and not running again for his 10th RD seat in favor of running to be……wait for it……..Insurance Commissioner.
And, I’m hearing that everyone’s favorite paragon of moral virtue State Senator John Still seems to be shacked up with his legislative aid girlfriend in SusSEX County pending a divorce.
What is it with Republicans and divorce? Haven’t they ever heard of the sanctity of marriage?
DV – I hope you don’t mind the bump.
Kerry killed Bush in the 10th. That will certainly turn into a Democratic district.
I think Still will be facing Brian Bushweller again.
nope
Gossip or facts? These are peoples lives, I hope you have proof to back up your statements.
Reconciliation is an option for a whole lot of folks, taking joy in this sort of thing is not too cool. Better hope it never happens to you or your loved ones. Fortunately for you, most of us would not highlight these details in the fashion you did, but rather hope things worked out for the best for you and your family.
Ah…Schadenfreude!
Ich dachte daß die Polizei hier am Donnerstag ist!

Try this:

Damn Copy and Paste….ruined me joke!
Use the German to English translation.
Sorry…
Von Cracker, you lost me, but that’s okay, I’m sure it’s funny to somebody.
I’m supposed to get all weepy because Still can’t keep it in his pants?
I don’t think so.
As for it being gossip – my journalism kung-fu kicks the crap out of Celia Cohens’s journalism kung-fu.
I’ll leave it at that.
Jason, I acttually wished I had put a different flavor on my earlier post.
The point I wanted to stress is that we usually have great discourse here, let’s keep it that way.
Until one is actually divorced, why particpate virtually in their very personal decision. Many people so in fact reconcile, and I hope they in fact consider it.
It’s none of my business, so I’ll stop.
sorry, keyboard issues.
Ok for all you Microsoft Control function illiterates:
“Ich dachte, daß die Polizei hier am Donnerstag ist!”
I thought that The Police are here on Thursday!
OY!
I dont get it.
me neither
myself included now…..
ha
Na, die Kameras holen!
J,
Fair enough. I think the seats changing from R to D makes it a legit topic, but I get your point.
Ok, I’ll ruin this even further.
J complained that Jason should not enjoy the misfortune of others. The word “Schadenfreude” is a German word meaning: “satisfaction or pleasure felt at someone else’s misfortune.”
Sticking with the German theme, I wrote my snarky response in horrible German, which was “I thought The Police (the band) are here on Thursday.” But the link was bad.
UGH!
Von Cracker…I look forward to your second act. Of course it didn’t help that I was translating from Spanish to English on th first two attempts (LOL)
Jason..got it, point taken. Thanks
Gute Nacht und gutes Glück!
Will do.
Hey I heard that story about John Still today as well…isn’t Rehoboth a little out of his district…the secretary…oh my!
Holier than thou, WOW! is this almost an John Adkins moment.
Great, we need a good independent to run against him…call the Independent Party of Delaware (302) 945 2646 if you want to run on citizens issues, not party issues! ARe we sick and tired of politicans portraying one face to the voters, and have another face “in the bedrooam, so to speack….email me if you would like run…go to: deinformedvoters.org and see the 3 issues areas for good government…
Are we now able to advertise for third party candidates on a Democratic site?
How much are Ads?
its about options is it not? when you all get sick of the two party system…corruption abounds…let us know…sorry Jason, I heard you are strongly democratic, but sometimes party politics are not that democratic…thats where an option comes in. I was a democrat all my life. Ran against Hazel (I can’t speak a sentence Plant twice)…the democratic party put the goon squad out to make sure I wouldn’t win…think thats democratic?
Could have stayed in the democratic party and worked to repair it, but thought another option would better serve Delaware citizens. If the democrats can’t get their act together and start legislating for the citizens who voted for them, and stop legislating for the special interests…I simply found myself politically homeless. am thinking many people feel the same way…its all good.
I’m not Jason.
I’m sure though many appreciate your reasoning.
Von Cracker,
I don’t know the last time I saw a stand up German Act, but if I get a call looking for someone that does German Comedy I’ll send them your way
I’ll go DG on you now
dude that was horrible!
LMAO
The best cure for what’s wrong with the Democratic party is what’s right with the Democratic party. (To steal a line form one of my favorite dems)
Liz –
I’m not crazy about the whole party thing, but I’m less crazy about putting myself into a self imposed third party exile.
Don,
My sense of humor comes from the Irish side, buddy.
The temper comes from the German, so I have one thing to say to you, Donviti….

Don’t blame Rep. Valihura for initiating his divorce. I hear that his wife asked for it and the request was totally unexpected by him. He should not be listed with the crowd that has cheated on their spouse.
Thanks Politico. I’ll update.
It will get worse before it gets better. District 17 will no doubt go to the Democrats. Senator Still has more sexual skeletons in his closet than any gay or lesbian in Delaware. Trust me…I should know.
Spoken like a true sexual skeleton.
The thing about Still is that everything and anything that comes out will be utterly believable to anyone who has been around the guy for more than five minutes.
Jason, there are things in the good Senator’s closet that might even surprise those who spent more than five minutes with him. I have a feeling it’s going to be a rather bumpy ride.
