Sue Myrick Bitch Slaps Robert Pittenger
Submitted by Betsy Muse on Wed, 01/24/2007 - 6:36am
Jim Morrill from The Charlotte Observer got a chance to step outside his typical dry political world and write about something juicy. I'm not going to give it all away, so you will have to go read it yourself.
Grist for the mill: Sue Myrick is in for 2008. She blames Robert Pittenger for spreading a rumor that she was not going to run. Sue no likey Robert Pittenger anymore and it looks like another man is involved. Oooh, a political menage a trois.
Lift the covers for the good stuff....
In a rare public rebuff, U.S. Rep. Sue Myrick Tuesday severed ties with fellow Charlotte Republican and longtime supporter Robert Pittenger.
Myrick told Pittenger, a state senator, that she was kicking him off her congressional finance committee and asked him to remove her picture from a Web site.
"I no longer think it appropriate for you to have a part in the strategic direction of my political future," she wrote.
:::snip:::
In her letter to Pittenger, Myrick said she had heard "from numerous sources" that the two of them had "cut a deal" where Myrick would run for governor and endorse Pittenger for her congressional seat.
"I am not going to run for governor and I am not going to support you for Congress," she wrote.
What does Pittenger have to say and where does he place the blame for this development? You'll have to read the Observer. I can't give away all the juicy stuff Jim worked so hard to ferret out.

Mom/school thing this morning
I thought this one would be fun after we all put ourselves through the agony of listening to Dubya last night.
Robin Hayes lied. Nobody died, but thousands of folks lost their jobs.
Fight! Fight! Fight!
Reminds me of the food fight in Animal House with these GOP State charactors.
Surge one for Jesus with a creampuff girls and boys.
Has anyone check the water in Charlotte lately?
I told you
That civitas poll with her at 20+ percent was BS.

Well, it certainly is now ...
even if it wasn't before.
This, right here, is why I love the NCGOP
This kind of drama would be more fitting in association with the question of which sophomore would run for junior class president, but here the NCGOP does it up in style and right up front for all to see. It's a little bit like the Office, in that it's really just a series of character studies about being blind to your own plain-as-day faults.
I'm glad Sue's not going anywhere. If the current crop of NCGOP leaders were to fall off the face of the earth tomorrow, I might have to subscribe to cable!
Imagine my delight
at being able to enjoy this as I had my first cup of coffee this morning.

This was a really good, tight story
made even better by the juicy subject matter.
Be sure to thank Morrill for digging in on it. He's email is in the Char-O link.
Har Dee Har Har Har!
I bet 'Ol Sue is blowing a gasket that this was front-paged at the Observer!
Maybe we should talk Pittenger into running against her so we can sit back and watch the fur fly for the next two years.
Wheeee!

Isn't Sue one of the Greeders
who promised she'd step down after over-staying her 12 year welcome? Has she ever truly responded to that issue?

Maybe she's over-stayed her welcome.

That's what happens when you take out a contract on America
Do we have a lamb to sacrifice for Sue's pagan bloodlust yet?
she has
said something along the lines of, "Well congress didnt pass the law so its my choice." I dont think the article I saw quoted her directly though, probably because you cant say words like "I hate people too much to leave." and "na na na you cant touch me" in the paper.
