Repub Women Stunned By Display

Mary was livid. She felt compelled to jump up from her chair. She said something about how Dan Gookin was the better choice than Deanna (Goodlander, pictured). While Mary was pontificating about Dan, Duane Rasmussen, co-chair of the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee, was standing in the back of the room, watching the scene unfold. After watching a red-faced Mary go off, Rasmussen told the Republican women that he had talked with Dan Gookin personally and Gookin had told him that he wouldn’t have GOP tattooed on his (buttocks). After audible gasps by the Republican ladies subsided, Mary blurted out that Dan’s statement was a “private conversation amongst friends.” Shortly later, Mary stormed out of the luncheon leaving behind a stunned group of Republican women/ The Gookin Squad .

Question: Does it matter to you whether or not Dan Gookin is a card-carrying Republican?

A pair of red birds told us that Mary Souza left a Saturday luncheon for Republican women in a huff after it was disclosed that the candidate she supports isn’t a Republican.

The luncheon was held to honor the national president of the women’s organization. The president gave a stirring speech about supporting women Republicans to a smiling audience.

Then Deanna Goodlander, who was in attendance, was invited to say a few words about her election race. Goodlander, a long time Republican, stood up and told the group of about 20 women that she was a running for city council. She said she was a Republican and that her opponent wasn’t.

Mary was livid. She felt compelled to jump up from her chair. She said something about how Dan Gookin was the better choice than Deanna.

While Mary was pontificating about Dan, Duane Rasmussen, co-chair of the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee, was standing in the back of the room, watching the scene unfold.

After watching a red-faced Mary go off, Rasmussen told the Republican women that he had talked with Dan Gookin personally and Gookin had told him that he wouldn’t have GOP tattooed on his ass.

After audible gasps by the Republican ladies subsided, Mary blurted out that Dan’s statement was a “private conversation amongst friends.”

Shortly later, Mary exited the luncheon leaving behind a stunned group of Republican women.
