Krystal Ball of MSNBC is sponsoring a website to boycott Rush.
You might remember Krystal Ball who got her start right here in Prince William County. She was the young woman that Greg and Riley decided to embarrass by displaying pictures of Krystal and her first husband playing naughty reindeer games at a Christmas party when she was first out of college. Krystal gained a great deal of notoriety over the pictures which were a little racy and she handled it with grace. Did I fail to say she was running for the 1st Congressional District? The blog posts were definitely political strikes.
She should be sending both men a fruit basket and a bottle of wine. She was a fairly low key candidate in a district where she had little chance of winning. The men who tried to “Rush” her by making all sorts of insinuation about her moral character catapulted her into a new spotlight and she is now a regular commentator on MSNBC.
It looks like Greg might be trying to get the new Manassas City democratic candidate a job with MSNBC also. He is vilifying Patricia Richie-Folks because she friended KKs. He linked another friend of KKs to her and now has what *I* consider pornography on his website to make Patricia look unacceptable as a candidate because of who has friended whom on Facebook. This is just another trashy attempt to invalidate women by besmirching their character and reputation.
Greg, with his flair for the dramatic, has some sort of exchange going with some alternative lifestyle person, complete with insults and threats to go along with his pornographic images. Is that really how the good people of Manassas want to decide their elections? Unseemly is really too mild of a word. What on earth is wrong with people that they continue to accept this trash instead of good political debate?
A whole bunch of folks got up in arms over an adult boutique, spent nearly $100k in fees to porno-proof Old Town, and now accept that one of their candidates is being bashed in this manner? Ms. Richie-Folks doesn’t know the woman involved in the porno pictures, yet this amateur attempt to make the candidate look risque or unfit for office is being used against her.
Its time for the Manassas Republicans to disavow this type behavior and stop allowing women candidates and/or their staff members to be be talked about like this. Stop the practice of ruining reputations for political gain. Its really that simple. Those people who came out to oppose KK’s ought to be even more outraged because pornography is being used to ruin this female candidate. Have some consistency.
I hope it works as well for Patricia Richie-Folks as it did for Krystal Ball who is probably now making a lot more money than Greg is pulling in each month.
Meanwhile, I know some of the Republican leadership in the City and they are good people who wouldn’t associate themselves with what is going on. They have now been put on the spot. They know that this isn’t how you treat women candidates. (any candidate actually) This kind of political “winner takes all” behavior is not going to continue to fly. Manassas Republican Leadership know that they get good results from being organized and by discussing issues, not by cheap tricks. The people of Manassas deserve better than this.
Moon,
Greg is trying so hard to villify this woman running for office in manassas. Greg pretends to be so G-dly, yet what he does to this woman is anything but G-dly. He isn’t just hurting this woman, he is hurting himself.

Expressing, heatedly, different opinions is critical to this blog. But what we don’t do is purposely destroy specific people based on innuendo and unfounded gossip.
I included the link,not because I am a bible pusher, but because I do believe that many people look to the bible for moral guidance.
It amazes me that the blogmeister insists on posting sexually explicit pictures. While, claiming to be such a good Christian. Perhaps, there won’t be a “poll watcher” at Sudley to watch today’s primary like there was in August. They probably have more dirt to dig up and pictures to look for. 🙄
I’m not prone to supporting Democrats, but Manassas taxpayers should ask themselves if they would be better off with Ms. Richie-Folks or Mark Wolfe who is constantly picking pockets in Manassas and PWC for the ballet he and his wife run, and its questionable practices.
It sounds like Sister Wacksalot will be very busy digging and other things.
Greg is busy whining about his phone number and address being passed along on Twitter. Too bad he doesn’t think of his family before he starts these crapfests. So….Manassas residents are supposed to cast their votes based on who friends a friend’s friend on Facebook.
Greg is a miserable, inconsequential little old man with a blog. Ignore him.
How is it that politics now days is more like high school gossip? I’ve even forgotten why we elect people. I seem to remember that it had something to do with managing a town, city, region, country, or something like that. It has all turned into American Dis-Idol it seems. Hell, half the past presidents would never be able to run for office again in this climate, too many blue dresses out there.
A tranny back in my day was a transmission. I guess I need to keep updated using the same sources as Black Velvet to stay current.
@BSinVA
LMAO!! I hate to date myself, but I was thinking the same thing.
In your quest to stay up to date. You might want to try urbandictionary.com 👿
@Second Alamo
I agree completely. I do believe the middle school climate of today, keeps MANY good candidates from running for office at all levels, but especially the local level.
Nice to see you chime in. Hope all is well. 🙂
Thanks you Second Alamo! You have hit the nail on the head. Middle School. Perfect description.
And yes, the queasy feeling hit, before Steve Thomas even asks. Its that rotational redirection that gets me every time.
Krystal Ball……just can’t stop laughing!!!
Her father was a physcist or geologist, can’t recall, named Ball. When she was born, he named her Krystal. The guy had a sense of humor and she ha sa name noone will ever forget. It will help her political life.
she’s laughin’ all the way to the bank there Slow!
Good…she can buy more “toys”.
Who is buying more toys? I thought you all meant Krystal Ball. I expect she has other things to spend her money on now, preparing for a 6 figure job in broadcasting. Why bother with politics? She has grown tremendously since she started on MSNBC.
Six figure job in broadcasting. Nobody watches MSNBC, you know that, right? You think she’s gonna be the next Rachel Maddow? My side’s beginning to hurt!
PS: Carbonite Stock fell right into the toilet after they abandoned Rush Limbaugh. Good move, Einsteins!!
Pokie, plenty of people watch MSNBC. Don’t be so self centered. Just because YOU don’t watch it. No one has to stay in one place forever.
Actually Pokie, the entire stock market fell in the tank having nothing to do with Rush Limbaugh. The Dow lost over 200 points. The daily caller reported that it was because of Limbaugh. Now there’s a credibly stock magazine. NOT. It lost 80 cents. Limbaugh had little to do with it.
Carbonite is a good product but its stock have been stuggling for a couple of months. I sold mine a few weeks ago because of that. Trust me, it has little to do with Rush Limbaugh and if you think that …well…get a broker you trust.
having some fantasies are we Slow? 😉
@Moon-howler
Maybe Pokie has changed his name to “Nobody”.
@SlowpokeRodriguez
The only thing that is dropping is Lumbago’s advertisers. But maybe he has enough to support his show. Unless, of course, his previous three wives are being payed off.
Over 30 sponsors now I think I read. @ George
When your name or brand becomes a verb meaning “bullied” as in “Rushed,” it’s not a good thing.

BVBL; Are you sure his name isn’t Rush? I don’t get it! He (BVBL) represents himself as the “republican party” but he might want to ensure the garbage he is throwing won’t be thrown back. Not all republicans are what they seem! MARK MY WORDS!!!!
Just like those who profess to be a prophet…and they are a FALSE PROPHET. IL
I’ll give those advertisers a week or so, and they’ll be back. I think the bottom line is more important to them than any kind of moral stand. Looking at his list of advertisers, what the heck is “Carbonite,” and why do I need it? Proflowers? Used them just once, and I got a compromised credit card and endless email spam for my trouble.
@Emma, Carbonite is an excellent back up program that runs seamlessly on each computer in your house. I have it on 3 computers at the moment. I use pro flowers everytime I send flowers. I don’t know if they are any better or worse than FTD or other online flower services. Carbonite I can vouche for though.
Why the contrarian attitude? Didn’t you make a big production of saying he was a loud mouth and you wouldn’t listen to him?
They go back, they get it again….Rush outdid himself this time.
Rush’s reference to wanting to get “pay back” from Ms. Fluke in the form of sexually explicit videos of her was the nail in the coffin. He was offensive in a way that was so much more than calling her a slut.
