You all remember Scott Spencer, the guy who claimed he was running for Congress in 2010, but after all his bluster and hubbub about rockets and trains, didn’t even file for the Democratic primary? Apparently he’s now running for Mayor of Wilmington.
While he passed himself off as a progressive, his true colors came out during numerous appearances on the Fatman’s show down here in Sussex, where he espoused his anti-abortion rights and anti-labor stands.
You gotta love someone who embellishes his record on the web. According to his website, Spencer was responsible for “bringing the Amber Alert System to Delaware, … and jumpstarting the electric car industry in Delaware.” And Newt Gingrich is a historian.
Today is issued a press release demanding requesting that Gov. Markell form “an Interagency Homicide Task Force, within 30 days, to provide the expertise and resources of the State Police and New Castle County Homicide Units to assist Wilmington Police in city murder investigations.” Doesn’t say how he’s going to pay for this or who will have operational command. And he cc’d the presser to Paul Clark and Mayor Baker. Talk about amateur. Just a bunch of empty rhetoric from a wannabe pol.
And the pictures he uses on his website are a bit dated. When I saw him at the JJ Dinner in November, his hair was a lot greyer. Well, maybe he’s using Grecian Formula.
Scott, your 15 minutes of fame were over in the summer of 2010. Time to get a real job. I do have a question though – are you trying to become another Mike Miller by running for anything and everything (and losing)?
