First Essex – Toohey Cheating, Family Mocking Reporters with Slurs

October 22, 2012 By bcal92

Any close readers of BMG will know that I’m not a fan of the politics of The Valley Patriot Publisher Tommy Duggan.

 

Though I will tremendously enjoy the steak dinner that he treats me to after Elizabeth Warren beats Scott Brown…

 

Imagine my surprise to see him report that 1st Essex Candidate Shaun Toohey was cheating during the debate!

Money quotes:

“Throughout the “candidate forum” held at the Haverhill Library Monday evening Haverhill City Councilor Bill Ryan, who sat in the front row, a few short feet from his son-in-law (Republican candidate Shaun Toohey) was observed giving answers to Toohey while other candidates were speaking.

Ryan in previous debates was much quieter and only mouthed answers to Toohey but in the League of Women Voters Debate he vocalized talking points to Toohey angering two of the other candidates.”

To literally add insult to injury, apparently Toohey’s mother-in-law lobbed anti-gay slurs at a reporting covering the event.

Tommy, i’d love to hear any additional color you could provide and the time of our dinner reservation at Burton’s?

    I’m surprised he didn’t give Mrs. Ryan an ‘atta girl!’ for her remarks.
