ClaqueWatch NY: Newest Feature On That's Our gal


ClaqueWatch NY is a new feature here at That's Our Gal for monitoring local teabagger advocacy. 

When you attend Ann Marie Buerkle's in-person "town hall meetings" you find that they are exercises in futility for everyone except Annie's claque of raucous schoolchildren. These folks are simple to spot. They sit up front at the in-person meetings, they plant softball questions, and they are predictably loud and obnoxious when anyone asks a followup question after Annie tries to duck the first one.

The lamentable aspect of this element of Annie's support is that they can be depended upon to intimidate and shout down the opposition, protection which she eats up. Her meetings are conducted in a way that eliminates any real serious discussion of really serious issues concerned citizens have come to discuss.

Blueskygirl wants to thank TeamWatch NY and TeamWatch 25 for their very public contributions to the fun. This includes everyone from downstate claquers who love Carl "Porn King" Paladino to Syracuse locals who think Doug Hoffman and Ayn Rand are the nutz.

This ought to be fun.

  1. What you really hate is that Ann Marie Stands for something. With all your posts, they are not based on facts. The war debt item makes me laugh in that Bush spent 1.1 Trillion in 8 years and Obama spent 4 trillion in 1. Ann Marie wants to spend zero. Stop being selective in your posts.....
