Dick of the Day: Joe Roddy

By Antonio D. French

Filed Thursday, December 06, 2007 at 5:38 PM

While his constituent, an elderly homeowner, testified yesterday about her fears of losing her home because of Joe Roddy's eminent domain legislation, the alderman ignored the woman and read his newspaper in the hearing.

For that, he earns PubDef's "Dick of the Day" award.

He looks more like the "Cunt Of The Day" to me! I hope his constituents recall him like they did that donkey riding alderman on the south side for his contempt towards his constituents!

When people took off work to come to a daytime hearing about the Century building, alderman Kenny Jones similarly dissed citizens by reading the Sunday comics section during testimony. These St Louis aldermen are a joke and they don't seem to care if taxpayers know it.

This blog does itself no favors when using, or allowing, such coarse language.

To have it succumb to guttermouth temptations doesn't do St. Louis any favors either.

It's not my blog, but I doubt I am only one who feels the same.

Considering you have to go out of your way to visit this website, it's fair to assume my readers appreciate this kind of real talk.

While it is my right to use whatever kind of language I choose, it's really only things like this — people in power disrespecting powerless old ladies — that really burn my britches.

Hell, I haven't even called Slay a dick yet! Roddy's extraordinary disrespect deserves special treatment.

PS: I think I'm not even in the running for most gratuitous use of curse words. That prize easily goes to the Riverfront Times.

With all due respect Mr. French, if Imus can use gutteral utterences on the air in reference to some of our finest, I will go out of the way to hear you accurately identify an anal cavity as such when the term is most appropriate.

Just like the Mayor, he listens to the constituents that matter: those with money. Whether or not they live in the City is a secondary question.

I just wish they would even pretend to respect the rest of us. Look up from the newspaper? Ignore the cell phone? Exhibit the same manners I expect from my 6-year-old?
