    Part of my comment from yesterday’s thread on this topic:

    Her conduct when she called in during Rick Jensen’s interview of Lee Williams was a joke, showing her stupidity, cackling with fake amusement instead of addressing the issues. And all of it came back to how great and important SHE is. Typical for this egomaniac crook. She was broke when she took office. Now she lives way beyond her $105K a year income as all DOI staffers are aware. You do the math. It’s called kickbacks. No amount of denial by her or anyone else is going to change that fact.

    Question to Del Lib: Why are you using that 20-year-old picture of her? She doesn’t look anything like that now.

    Response to Oracle: we’ll use another picture when you send us one. Otherwise, we use images readily and legally available to us.

    OMG..She is amazing. You would think she would rather talk to the print media instead of haveing this recording.

    Now let’s all have a good laugh, cuz for the first time i think i am laughing at you not with you.

    O M G !!!

    And you all thought John Brady and Gene Reed were bad…

    Welcome to the Delaware Memory Hole.

    Politicians in trouble always go to the radio. They would much rather have their problems discussed in audio (where it may or may not get saved and put on the web). Even if the podcast is put on the web, it will just sit there unnoticed as long as nobody produces a transcript. And eventually the link will disappear.

    Who is going to sit and listen to it anyway? It doesn’t even have lesbian bondage strippers.

    Print is dangerous though. Print stories can propogate and end up on multiple servers and end up easily found in Google forever.

    Of course you can usually count on News Journal linkrot to hide your sins and make them go away after a suitable time.

    Mike – actually, DL did not endorse her in the general election. Gene sunk himself.

  6. fightingbluehen says:

    Oracle, she used that picture in the election, and it was a shocker back then.
    To me, It’s the same as lying.

    This is what’s wrong with what KWS is doing. She created a new division in 2009, the Captive-Financial Revenue Generating Division, and staffed it with 3 out of state contractors that together make over $40,000 a month, almost a half million dollars a year, at a time when the rest of the state is cutting back. And that number doesn’t include that office’s staff.

    Her excuse would be that the ICs office doesn’t use taxpayer money, but the excess income they generate goes into the general fund, and that’s a half million dollars a year that could be going into the general fund at a time when the state has been dealing with record deficits, salary cuts and hiring freezes.

    The Markell Administration has been trying to squeeze every penny possible out of state agencies to avoid layoffs. What KWS is doing with the ICs office is an affront to all of the Administration’s efforts and all of the state’s employees and all of Delaware’s taxpayers. Just her office’s travel expenses alone show how oblivious she is to what’s going on in the rest of the world.

    But then you would expect someone with KWS financial history to ignore mounting deficits and spend like a drunken sailor anyway because that is her life’s MO.

    When Stewart called Rick Jensen’s WDEL program while Rick was interviewing Lee Williams, it became perfectly clear why Elliott Jacobson and others are shielding her from the public and the government. These people found it absolutely necessary to isolate her this way so her room temperature IQ would not become obvious to everyone. They managed to steer her through the campaign by feeding her scripts to memorize, beyond which she was totally unable to speak as we witnessed on several occasions. Unfortunately, this had no impact on the election results and she rode the Democrat wave into office. Her backers must have been aware long before then that she could be easily manipulated to their ends as long they made it well worth her while financially, which appears to be the case here. We need an immediate and in-depth investigation of Stewart’s and her “consultants’” financial dealings, especially in terms of the extent to which this scenario increased her own net worth. She was nearly destitute prior to the election as I and others who know her are aware. Hence the fact that she did not own a car.

    Stewart to appear before joint House/Senate committee:

    Looks like the legislators are smarter than you bloggers. If you smell a rat, there’s probably one in the nearby sewer we call the DOI.
