Mayor Calls City 'Corrupt' (PDT, 8/19/10)

From today's Portsmouth Daily Times:

In her interview in the Portsmouth Daily Times today, Jane Murray tells us what she really thinks of herself.

"It's why I was elected. A lot of people said it. Finally after 30 years someone is willing to stand up to the good old boys network that controlled this city and ran it into the ground."

Jane Murray believes she is the savior. The chosen one.

Portsmouth's messiah.

She is the One the CAVE People have been looking for.

This Messiah complex, in her own mind and in the minds of her followers, will soon be her downfall. She had the political skill to gain victory in the primary and general elections, despite her arrogant personality. She had unsavory personal connections (with the CAVE People, Roy Payton, etc.) but these would not have necessarily have brought her down. Despite her years in government, Murray has very little knowledge of how to run a municipality, and seems to stumble from one disaster to another. But this lack of knowledge would not have crippled her, if she only had the ability to work with knowledgeable and experienced city officials and admit that there are things she does not know. (As a Portsmouth Times editorial, from Jan. 12 pleaded: "Off and running-We urge new mayor to slow down.")

Her real downfall is the fact that she believes she is better than everyone else. Her followers, the CAVE People, after so many years of scheming and conniving to "take power" in Portsmouth, also believe she is superior and they feed into her irrational, impetuous style of "governing by divine right." Her sense of entitlement, her insistence that "I stand by every decision I've made" despite the fiascoes she has created, and her arrogance all point a real personality disorder.

Everyone else is corrupt. She's the martyr. She knows what is best. She only listens to her worshippers. She's the Messiah.

Even now her followers are pecking away on topix.com and other cesspools of the internet telling her to "Go Jane Go" and fight "the good old buoys." These true believers will never quit until Jane Murray is dragged kicking and screaming from 720 Second Street in November 2010. River Vices, the gay atheist CAVE-propaganda website, is even comparing the recall of Murray to burning her at the stake like a 'witch.' (For the record, we have never called the Mayor a witch or anything that rhymes with witch.)

In honor of Jane Murray's messiah-complex, we present the prayer that all the CAVE people (maybe even the gay atheist) are praying lately:

THE PRAYER OF THE CAVE PEOPLE

Our Mayor, who art on Dorman,
          Madam, be thy name;

Thy queendom come; thy will be done,
           no matter what the Charter says.

Give us this day our daily meds.

And bless all of our recalls,
           but don't forgive those who recall against us.

Lead us not to P-Town Underground;
           but deliver us from the SOGP.

For thine is the queendom,
           and the power to be mayor for ever.
Awoman.
