back when that scandal emerged where he and Dunn fudged loan papers on it, so's the repugs could buy the election and take the 2/3 County Commissioner majority, and bring us Rowdy Jim Roddey as unitary exec.

So the repugs went from always having to be included as a minority in the county gov, to being able to own the whole ball of wax. It wasn't really Flaherty and Forester's faults, but Joe Moses was one big blemish on the public face of the Dems, & that thing with Tom's stepkid and the undercover surveillance van maintenance, too.

Never liked Larry, even after he switched. Dawida was no great shakes, either.

I went to one Irish fest down Station Square while Dunn and Cranmer were running, Bob said 'My kids are Irish' from the stage, though he didn't bring the wife or kids. So I heckled them by booing and yelling 'up the republicans'. (Wasn't tipsy either, because St. John charged $8 zillion for a pint of Guinness.) It was worth it, because right there, I was Pittsburgh's Irish Democrats.

Good times.
