Press Talk: Building a shenanigans scale
Category: Word Press
Ted S. Warren
State Sen. Joe Zarelli, R-Ridgefield
Politicians often do funny stuff. In fact just the other day I was looking for a synonym for the word "politics." What did I come up with?
Shenanigans.
Goodness gracious, I love that word. I just don't often find an opportunity to use it.
Now when state Sen. Joe Zarelli decided not to run for re-election I wasn't thinking shenanigans. I was thinking "Oh, my."
But then as The Columbian slowly pieced the story together I was able to resurrect the word I'm growing to love.
Shenanigans.
You see after Joe decided not to run, he hatched a bit of plan. He would tell very few people that he wasn't running. What's the advantage of this? Well no Democrat in his right mind (sorry, Ralph Schmidt) would really think he had a chance against Republican Zarelli. So if Zarelli were to announce that he was out -- early -- more folks might jump in the race.
