Souza: Me Hatesss Nasties Mikeysss

Mary Souza’s fixation with All Things Mike Kennedy continues in her latest City Pulse newsletter. Not content to let OpenCDA.com buddy Bill McCrory castigate Kennedy for publicly questioning county Election Department mistakes made in the city election, Mary weighs in about the “extremely serious charge!” that Kennedy made about County Clerk Cliff Hayes. At the Coeur d’Alene City Council meeting last week, Kennedy called Hayes’ absence a “dereliction of duty” because he wanted an explanation for the dozens of illegal/improper ballots cast in the Coeur d’Alene city elections Nov. 8. “That’s an extremely serious charge!” fumes Mary. (Ah, actually it’s simply one public figure getting a dig in at another one. No harm, no foul. And certainly not as serious as the ongoing OpenCdA.com claim that Coeur d’Alene government is corrupt.) Mary then defends why the larger number of mistakes of the 2011 Coeur d’Alene election aren’t as meaningful as the ones in 2009, which led to the Souza-supported election challenge of 2009 by Jim Brannon.

Question: Are the mistakes of the 2011 Coeur d’Alene city elections more/less/same comparable to the ones of the 2009 city election that led to Jim Brannon’s lawsuit?
