Rossi's Muff Matches Many Mayor's Madnesses
The latest dust up over Mayoral candidate Steve Rossi's inappropriate joke (see the last post if you missed it) at the Chamber of Commerce's Mayoral debate last week got me thinking.
This guy just might win!
Afterall, the last few Mayors of Fort Lauderdale were very popular and have said some mighty crazy things!
Rossi cracking up at Chamber Debate
Take former Mayor Bob Cox for starters.
When asked by a fourth grader during an appearance at Dillard Elementary (a nearly all black school) what it took to be Mayor, Cox replied "anyone can be Mayor of Fort Lauderdale, you just need to be free, white, and 21" ! Apparently Cox forgot what decade it was!
And Cox's plan to control the homeless was to "put Kerosene in the dumpsters".
And, then of course, you have our current Mayor - Jim Naugle.
Some of his Naugle's colorful quips ;
" I use the word Homosexual. Most of them aren't Gay, they're unhappy!"
And Naugle on the ACLU,... "they're the Atheists and Criminal Lobbying Union".
And he refers to his City's local newspaper (the Sun-Sentinel) as the Scum Sentinel!
So, ........ note to Rossi .... keep those zingers coming !

Yes, by all means, some more zingers.
Q: Did you hear that Steve Rossi was on a see food diet?
A: Yes, he eats everything he sees.
Rossi gives lawyers a bad name. Since people hold lawyers just below used car salesmen in overall respect, that is quite an achievement for Rossi. I think it's time for him to join Cindi Hutchenson and withdraw from the race.

It is interesting to compare Rossi gaffes with Naugle's. "Mayor Jim" has been an embarrassment to Fort Lauderdale for many years. Do we want to replace one buffon with another?

I noticed Rossi has a lot of signs up. Then I noticed his signs are all at restaurants he eats at. Man there are a lot of signs up
