Sporting a new jacket – and a new title

Posted by: Glenn Blain - Posted in 2007, Clinton Young, Mount Vernon on Nov 20, 2007

Is Clinton Young pleased with his victory in the Mount Vernon mayoral election?

Well, Young, a lame duck county legislator, was spotted walking the halls of the Board of Legislators’ offices this morning wearing a new varsity-style jacket with “Mayor-Elect Clinton Young” stitched in the front.

Clinton, who said the jacket was not paid for with taxpayer dollars, joked that he would buy a new jacket — without the “Mayor-Elect” — when he takes office in January.

   Get a new jacket that says: “I am humbled by the opportunity, and I’ll try to do a good, honest job.”

   on the inside..as appears is not the case with the
   present mayor

   His friends call him Speedo but his real
   name is Mister Earl.

   Someone said that he was WEARING a Speedo with “Hey, I just got here. I didn’t have anything to do with the non-feasance, mis-feasance, or mal-feasance” stitched in the front.

   Now come on there is nothing better to publish than this. Write about the murders that are unsolved. Come on a jacket. Who is responsible for this article needs to go back to school for journalism. This sucks. Just bored I see.

   “A white sport coat, and a pink carnation.
   He’s all dressed up for the dance.”

   That one is from back in the Consultant’s era.

    Hmmm. Could it be that Mr. Young has directed some supporters to the POH blog.? If he’s that sensitive about the jacket, here we go again.

    Wait till you see his Nehru. I think
    he got it from Sammy Davis Jr. in ‘66.

    Hey, even Sammy Davis and Moishe Dayan started seeing eye to eye. Goes to show everybody can get along in the end. To the tune of “Smoke Gets in Your Eye.”

    Good one, Ed. And the Guess Who’s “These Eyes” couldn’t
    make the cut.
