      <![CDATA[As far as I am concerned, Steve Cohen is doing an outstanding job representing his constituents in D.C.  Our mayor seems to take pleasure in "thumbing his nose" at his constituents.  I look forward to a new administration which will serve the public in its entirety--not just create a feeding frenzy of his pets at his trough.

      <![CDATA[I have heard a lot of comments in reaction to Herenton's statement and they all have dealt with Herenton.  I am not a Herento fan, but for once the words uttered out of Herenton's mouth were 100% correct.  Cohen is a supreme asshole.<br>
<br>
If you ordered a train load of assholes from a company, and they delievered Steve Cohen, the company would have fulfilled your order.

      <![CDATA[Let's be honest. Like many, I, want to get the hell outta here.  But I can't, because I can't afford to move.  King Willie is holding this city hostage.  He is a megalomaniac narcissist who doesn't give one friggin damn about Memphis anymore.  He is in it for Willie. Eff history.  I wasn't amazed or shocked, Bruce.  It is what we have come to expect in this hole of a city.  Eighteen long years is enough for this man, but he will play, yet again, to the most reptilian minds in Memphis.  He will try to claim, that somehow, he has been put upon and made low because he is black.  I voted for Willie the first two times.  I voted for Obama.  I do not see color. I see integrity, character, honesty.  Willie W. Herenton is void of all.

      <![CDATA['Attention for attention's sake makes Herenton a happy man'. This shows a strong sign of low self esteem, common sense and minimual management skills. A wise man is reserved and not self-serving. Wille reminds me of young school bully, whose primary goal is to destroy anything he can't understand. CASE IN POINT: "Willie isn't the only person in memphis or anyother town who came up hard and disadvantaged, but made great in-roads to success". The chip on his shoulder will some day be his greatest down fall and he can blame only himself. In order to feel good about himself he adds to his work environment people of little knowledge and minimunal management skills, in order to seem BIG!, but, only in their eyes. If the people of the 9th district decides to send willie to D.C., then they will get what they deserve. Chumps like willie will not survive inside the beltway. I work for the FEDs going on 30 years and his type is considered fresh road kill. Prime example; Willie screwed up the school system, rocketed this town to number one in taxes, blight, HIV, rape and crime which puts Memphis on the map for all the wrong reasons. Now, before anyone get too upset for not kissing the great one's ass, remember, these comments are coming from a Black Man. When he braggs about cleaning up the inner-city by sending his crime ridden trash out east, he and his housing director should be ran out on a rail! I am for anyone who can get the job done, be they Red, yellow, green black or white, that can put this town back on even footings.
