Payne-ful (of it) Response

Not too terribly long ago we saw how the Marty boys and girls respond when they get caught with their hand in the cookie jar. In light of the way the rest of the Chavez administration reacts when confronted with the truth, it's no surprise how The Captain responded to being confronted with his role in the $35,000 de'Pascal pleasure cruise.

Blogger Mario Burgos got a response from Captain Payne on his involvement in the de'Pascal campaign. Like "Linda" (CFO Gail Reese's "alter-ego") Payne reiterated his Journal denial (Subscription) of involvement (sort of), but managed to poke yet another hole in de'Pascal's campaign boat and his own credibility.

You see, The Captain claimed that he asked Sandra Richardson to "please forward this to Mike Collins. He'll be consulting Paulette on the campaign." Payne's response actually does two things... First it confirms the authenticity of the email posted on this site. Second, it's abundantly clear from Ms. Richardson's email, that The Captain is none other than Payne himself.

Perhaps Mike Collins is The Captain's Little Buddy? What we do know for sure is...
a. Greg is the only Captain of this ship. He creates the strategy. He decides.
b. I am his First Mate. I report to the Captain. YOU report to ME. Period.
c. You are the candidate. You report to me....NOT "if you get time" between all the "flowers." You MAKE time. I'm not your mother...I'm your coach. This is the PLAN. You want to win? You follow Greg's Plan. Period.
- Sandra Richardson Email
The Captain's Little Buddy (Mike Collins) is not mentioned anywhere in Richardson's email tirade. Payne desperately wants to create the impression that he has nothing to do with this taxpayer funded fiasco. His involvement not only raises ethical questions (Easily gotten around since Sandra Richardson's husband Cliff sits on the ethics board) but exposes the role that Marty is playing in the upcoming election.

One huge 500 pound of shit + informed voters = A New Mayor of Albuquerque. PRICELESS!

I'm so sick and tired of having the Albuquerque Journal give these people a free ride. Don't the people of Albuquerque have the right to decide if they believe Payne and Marty, or don't? But they don't cover it. WHY??? They don't have enough room? They don't have enough reporters? They don't think anybody is lying? Payne denies everything that he gets caught in. And then that's the end of it because nobody ever challenges him. On the record, I'd love to know - who is Tony? How many times did he "accidentally" run into paulette at a coffee shop? Who arranged to have city employees help her collect her petition signatures? How come Paulette and Sandra were seen at a Democrat party function together AFTER all of this came out? Guess Paulette doesn't think Sandra's crazy...

The purpose of the "function" was a Listening Tour put on by the State Chair of the Democratic Party for Bernalillo County Democrats. What it looks like is that Democrats, though in disagreement, can behave professionally with one another, as opposed to some of the commentors for this blog.

oh yeah Dems in NM are famous for professional behavior... just look at Manny Aragon / the dope connection/ the los padillas connection w/his partner jerry padilla/the courthouse/ highlands univ.----yeppers, he is the "professional" pinnacle that Dems aspire to

The Journal and the Trib are bought and paid for by the Kingdom. To call the Editors "journalists" is a joke to REAL journalists everywhere. You will never see this story in either rag, and if you do, it will be spun in favor of the criminals that sit high on the perch we call the 11th floor.

So let's hear answers directly from Paulette: Who is Tony and how many days did he help with signatures? Who is Caleb and in what capacity does he work for your campaign to earn a paycheck? (this quoted by Sandra in the Honeybee email) On what date did you receive the voters list and on what date did you pay the $400 for it? On what date did you change your party affiliation from Republican to Democrat?
Paulette, please answer these questions. It would seem reasonable for your constiuents to have these answers directly from you - and not cwlange. You have stated on your blog that you wish to run a clean campaign and that you appreciate respectfulness. We are respectfully asking these questions.
