I guess because his first name starts with the letter “G” too, or something. But Bill Colley speaking for God is not the story. The story is that WGMD talkshow host and blogger Bill Colley apparently is now a bought and paid for shill for the Glenn Urquhart campaign.
Our story starts off the 19th Annual Gridiron Dinner on May 1 at the Chase Center on the Wilmington Riverfront. Mr. Colley was present, though, not as a result of paying his own way or having his employer, WGMD, pay his own way. The Urquhart campaign paid for his ticket, and Mr. Colley sat that the “Team Urquhart” table. How quaint. Urquhart has a team.
Yesterday, 10 days after the Gridiron dinner, Bill Colley endorses Glenn Urquhart over the establishment Michele Rollins and the other also rans Rose Izzo and Kevin Wade in a pretty indecipherable blog post on the WGMD site. Now, none of this is really shocking to me since we all know Bill Colley is no journalist, and if he considers himself to be one, then he should know that he is a pretty biased and unethical one. No, all Bill Colley is an uninformed talking head who fills the downstate airspace with his blather for four hours daily.
No, what is shocking is that Bill did not hold out for more. Remember that Urquhart bought himself a County Council President for the price of $5,000. Colley’s price at being a bought and paid for shill for Urquhart: $150.00. The cost of the Gridiron ticket. Who knew Colley’s integrity was so cheap.
How much is Dan Gaffney’s? I want an on air shill, and I got $200 to spend.
