No, Governor Minner Embarrassed Herself

Filed in National by on September 14, 2008

Ron Williams writes in today’s NJ:

Minner’s comments came as Carney was calling on his supporters to rally around Markell for a unified Democratic victory in November. They came as state party chairman John Daniello called for party harmony. “Both sides [Markell and Carney] will need each other to win in November,” Daniello told the Delaware State News.

Does this sound like a party that is waiting for its current embarrassment of a Governor to do anything? DelDems would be pleased, certainly, to have the Governor display the kind of grace and enthusiasm that John Carney and his team have exhibited since his concession. But once Jack won, Ruth Ann could have chosen to preserve some semblance of self respect by happily endorsing and making herself part of the unity. But she decided to do what no other leadership Democrats did — stamp her feet and pout. No matter, Ruth Ann is officially a lame duck now and has officially ceded any leadership she may have had at the Party level. While she is off embarrassing herself (and damaging an already thin legacy even further), Dems are probably breathing a sign of relief — that she’s not going to be present to either embarrass or hurt Jack (or other Democrats) on the campaign trail for the next 2 months.

Even though we may have to remind folks that the crazy lady behind those closed doors we keep only because she has a claim on the space until January, she embarrasses no one but herself now.

  1. The chick is bat-shit crazy, I tell ya!

  2. Mike Protack says:

    Governor Minner has little do with what happens from this date. Carney showed a lot of class.

  3. Unstable Isotope says:

    She’ll be gone soon enough. She’s irrelevant now.

  4. P.I. says:

    She was irrelevant before. Thank God she didn’t endorse Jack in the primary….

  5. anon says:

    Carney spoke like a man who wants to be Senator.

  6. DPN says:

    how come we don’t have a MILF as governor?

  7. vyllyness says:

    How do you know that Markell won’t be beholden to this bunch of crones and croneys? In order to gain the support from the Dems who run this state, won’t he have to back pedal, tow the party line and kiss some spotty butt? Ms. Nasty Bitch isn’t going to let this fly without yanking on Markell’s shirt collar. And by the way, how the hell did you ever work for her to be elected. She is the most inept, do-nothing governor I’ve ever read about. Oh, that’s right, she let someone else read for her.

  8. MJ says:

    vyllness – Why do you think that Jack is going to kowtow to Mama Minner and the rest of the Gang or 13 that didn’t support him? We won without their support and they sure as hell aren’t going to do anything to help Bill Lee. If anyone gets yanked by the collar, it’ll be Minner as she’s yanked off the stage.

  9. Another Mike says:

    Minner may have made the last of her very rare public comments or appearances. Thank goodness for that. When you’re Ruth Ann, you almost expect those things to happen.

  10. Disbelief says:

    It took me overnight, but I just ‘got’ Another Mike’s last sentence. That was appropo.
