| <Stan speaks for Stan, and he has the "give em hell, Harry" approach of
Harry Truman. It's a free country.> -- Randy Bauer on hatchet man Stan
Booz
We still have not seen the detailed cost estimates of the move to
Cross-to-Bear. The suppression of figures suggests a bumpy ride ahead.
Randy Bauer began by defending Stan Booz to this extent: he compares
the latter's excremental effusions with the energetic expressions of
Harry Truman.
What a low excuse to make, even by what appear to be Mr. Bauer's
standards. Truman was a man of considerable virtue who rose above his
tawdry political beginnings and who was rarely, in truth, profane.
Don Schultz exhumed some Board motions that Mr. Bauer supported,
essentially telling Mr. Booz to keep his trap shut or get off the
Finance Committee.
EB 05-33 (Hanke): The EB will send a letter to the CO-chair of the
Finance Committee Stan Booz asking him to cease and desist from
personal attacks on the Internet. PASSED 5 -2. In favor: Bauer, Brady,
Schultz; Opposed: Shaughnessy; Abstaining: Marinello, Shutt and Hanke.
What changed in the interval? Politics changed.
It is now inconvenient for Mr. Bauer or, methinks, George John (though
I will put the question to him later) to hold Mr. Booz accountable for
his intellectual hygiene.
Don Schultz has adduced yet another example of Mr. Bauer saying one
thing now and then doing another thing.
After Mr. Bauer provided us with his personal estimate of Cross-to-Bear
moving costs at $150,000 to $200,000, he defended leaving off legal
expenses, using as his excuse that legal expenses would have been
higher had the Federation stayed in New Windsor. Yet in a message here
in October, he told us the move to Cross-to-Bear was not being made
under legal threat and that everything was so hunky dory that Board
members had not even discussed a major Tennesee legal letter for
"weeks."
Mr. Bauer lied. That's all. He lied. He could not keep his stories
straight over several months. So he lied
Mr. Schultz has adduced another example of the same thing.
One point is now clear: Mr. Bauer's words mean nothing. He willchange
his tune according to political exigencies. There is still some hope
that his personal deeds in office will rise above his personal
character.
