It takes a special sort of person that, when confronted with evidence, can say with a straight face, “I don’t believe it” and continue with their original presumption of a certain point of view.
With that, our favorite clownshoe in the OC blogsphere, Art Pedroza, is starting to look a lot like (in words and deed if not in fashion)Â birther Orly Taitz.
An amazing coincidence? See for yourself:
Art: Is confronted by a statement from Lorri Galloway herself, in a Liberal OC exclusive, that she had nothing to do with recruiting Sue Perez to run against Senator Lou Correa, and Art replies in a comment here, “I don’t believe her…”
Orly: Is confronted with a certified copy of President Barack Obama’s birth certificate and refuses to believe it’s legitimate preferring to believe a Kenyan Birth Certificate issued two years before Kenya was even a nation; doesn’t believe Honolulu newspaper birth announcements either.
Art: Has two jobs that are widely different — the head of his own safety consulting firm and publisher of a “opinion” blog. Both enterprises operate out of Art’s house and can be done in his pajamas with the fuzzy slippers.
Orly: Is a lawyer and a dentist. Must wear the fuzzy slippers to court while buzzing on laughing gas.
Art: Has friends of questionable character and integrity, like Tony Bushala, Paul Lucas, Terry Crowley and Red Vixen/Jill Puich (or is it Jill Lynn now..who still doesn’t show up on any fundraising lists for Dem candidates she says she supports).
Orly: Has friends like Alan Keyes who ran on a pro-family values campaign only to denounce his openly lesbian daughter and Wiley Drake, a man of God, who prays for the death of the president. And don’t forget Congressman John Campbell (R-Orly Taitz) who is the co-sponsor of the Birther Bill in Congress and the recipient of $500 from Taitz in 2005.
Art: Has turned against friends and friends have turned against him.
Orly: Even Wiley Drake isn’t part of her lawsuit anymore.
Orly: Sounds like the missing Gabor sister
Art: Is the missing Garbor sister.
Orly: Gets national media coverage and is laughed at nationally.
Art: Gets little local media coverage and is laughed at locally and often.
Orly: Never let the facts get in the way of a good story.
Art: Ditto.
A politicians’ denial does not constitute “evidence”. As a blogger, you should know that. Try again.
is there evidence to the contrary? I spoke to Lorri directly. She didn’t quibble and I don’t think she’s that good an actress. What evidence does Art have that she did play a role?
Dan,
I agree with you that Art is as batty as Orly. But hvae issues with two points.
First, as someone else mentioned, Lorri’s statement is not evidence. The problem is that you are trying to prove a negative (that Lorri didn’t do something) and that is pretty much impossible. I know nothing of the situation, but I think Lorri is more credible than Art but that isn’t saying much.
Second, it’s not fair to criticize those who have the good fortune of being able to work in their pajamas and fuzzy slippers. I have doubts about the legitimacy of Art’s “business” but if those doubts were based on what he is able to wear to work, I’d have to doubt the legitimacy of my business.
Actually, Lorri’s statement is evidence. Produce evidence to the contrary, because it becomes a situation of do you believe what Lorri said or what Art thinks? I wold think even Lorri’s detractors here would agree she carries more believability than Pedroza.
On the second part, you got me. I just hope he’s dressed while working, not to belittle people who work naked, like strippers and hookers.
Dan,
Actually, I work in the field a lot. But I do spend time at my home office too. Not usually in slippers though.
As for this Orly character, isn’t she a nutter? And aren’t Sue and Ed Perez nutters? I don’t hang out with people like that, but apparently your pal Lorri does. She appointed Ed to the Anaheim Planning Commission, and he appears in a YouTube video praising her.
Did she encourage Sue to run against Lou? Who knows. I surely don’t take Lorri at her word. She has had a beef with Lou Correa for some time. Even if she did not encourage Sue to run, she must be loving it.
Sue of course has no chance of beating Lou, but Lorri should get off her a** and endorse Lou already. That would clear things up more than your shilling for her.
Pedroza has more in common with Drake:
When speaking of the possibility that Mayor Pulido would be appointed as Ambassador to Mexico Art Pedroza said:
“… it is likely that at some point he (Pulido) will be kidnapped or whacked while serving in Mexico. Perfect! We will be rid of him in Santa Ana, and he will be taken care of by criminals in Mexico. It doesn’t get any better than that.”
Art — if you want to see a nutter, look in a mirror. Unbelievable.
“Did she encourage Sue to run against Lou? Who knows. I surely don’t take Lorri at her word.”
Thanks for again proving the point of my post Art.
Only one question…, if nobama has a legitimate birth certificate (not a record of birth), why does he even need a lawyer, let alone a herd of them, representing him at the court case on this? If someone challenged me on my birth certificate I’d be more than happy to take them to my city of birth and get an original for them. It makes no sense.
