Victor's Vision of Kim
Once again, Kim Capri has uttered one of her trademark non sensical and unsubstantiated pronouncements. This woman is the very embodiment of Bimbo politics. Her presence on Council is an affront to every hard working, intelligent female politician who is elected on merit.
In this instance, Ms. Capri opined that moving addicts to neighbourhoods will actually make neighbourhoods safer. How does she know this? Would that include the addict who stole presents from the child's hospital room last month? Or the addict who beat the kindly old man in the Cathedral? Ms. Capri knows she can make these types of airhead statements without challenge from from the media. That's her role on council. She is the Official Blonde and every time she invents one of her mindless factoids, she gives regrettable credence to that stereotype.
Vacuousness had been this woman's trademark since she was nominated. I recall a summer night, two years ago at the Italian Club, when Ms. Capri, along with a gaggle of NPA aspirants, made pre nomination speeches. I recall being gobsmacked by her solution to the drug problems of the downtown east side. She actually said the solution was to have more early childhood education. The woman beside me whispered to me " Is she suggesting we take all crackheads into regression therapy back to the womb and start again?"
Stupid then, stupider now. Why indeed would women be attracted to politics and risk being typecast as being in the Kim mold?

How about the crackhead that started following me as I was walking down an alley along east Broadway and then charged at me before cowardly running away. Boy, did I ever feel safe after that! Give this women an award..perhaps the darwin one.
Hail, hail, the bitter unemployed broadcaster. Your last blast at public notoriety is to run down others. Great stuff, DB. Keep it up!!!
My good lord Berner. I read the column where you took the piss out this lady because she called you at home, interupting your television watching, to suggest you be less personal in your commentary. This post is absolutely dripping with venom. Just nothing but one insult after another. I don't know what your employment status is, but the previous commentor's observation about bitterness is on the money.
Did you get away with this kind of mysogony when you were on the air?
