Joe Mondello ought to stop listening to Julie C. as he concocts plans for the revival of the defunct Nassau County GOP.
His latest, directing his Conservative-Republican minority to assist in the installation of the two most liberal members of the Nassau Legislature in leadership posts is the most recent in a string of his bizzare decisions. We see it blowing up in his face all over the place.
The previous one - deciding at a two-man dinner party to run the disgraced Greg Peterson as County Executive was digested just fine among the fat-ask-no-questions Executive Committee, but was thrown up in their faces by the voters of Nassau County.
The one before that, to stand with the State GOP as it used Communist-Style tactics to keep former Vietnam War Vet, POW and now U.S. Senator John McCain off the NY State Primary Ballot - even going so far as to tell Nassau Republicns that a vote for McCain is "ill advised", which good Nassau Republicans promptly stuck in his eye by voting for McCain by a margin of almost 2-1.
The one before that, lining up his then majority members under the Klieg lights of News12 to shred Tom Gulotta's budget - sending a clear and unequivocal message to Republicans everywhere that it's okay to Trash Tom.
The one before that....oh there are too many to tell, but how bout this one, firing a good hardworking loyal member of his team on the recommendation of his secretary and replacing him with a young man who's first prominent action was to get himself detained overnight in Nassau County Jail for knocking down Democrat signs. That got lots of chuckles..Keep up the good work Julie!
Boy oh boy, Mondello has made great decisions over the years. Keep him on boys, - there are still some Republicans left that could benefit from his next great move!
