The bridge is out on this pointless Tlaib recall
Political consultant Adolph Mongo, that bellwether of credibility who once used a photo of a lynching in an ad supporting sweet, innocent Kwame Kilpatrick, is now targeting Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib.
According to a report by our Tom Greenwood, following up on a report in the Michigan Information and Research Service newsletter, Mongo and Ambassador Bridge owner Matty Moroun are contemplating a recall drive against the Democrat from Southwest Detroit. Mongo subsequently said the recall is his very own idea, but he confirmed that he's on the payroll of Moroun's Ambassador Bridge Company, so his believability quotient is not high.
Moroun wants to build a second span for his bridge, which is located in Tlaib's district. Tlaib prefers the proposed Detroit River International Crossing, which would stand about a mile downriver from the Ambassador.
Mongo's record suggests he'd support cancer if there was a buck in it, but this could be a new low -- making the public pay for a recall election against a perfectly credible and well-liked politician because she's irritating a billionaire who'd like to get a little richer.

Tlaib recall
JoeBlog works for Moroun too, although claims he doesn't (like Mongo). He is on the non-public arm of Moroun's propaganda machine, spreading lies and rumors about the benefits of the Ambassador Bridge, and smear campaigns against anyone that opposes Moroun.
Mongo paid by bridge company
Thank you Neal Rubin.
I can't imagine that a man who doesn't live in our district will attempt to remove my representative, who is well liked and respected and appreciated. Rashida Tlaib really does speak for the majority of southwest Detroit.
Tlaib Recall
"making the public pay for a recall election"....seriously??? What about making the public pay for the DRIC bridge when Moroun is willing to build a second span with his own money! Not to mention the fact that the DRIC bridge has proven to be completely unneccesary!!! This article is complete (((EDITOR'S NOTE: CAPITALIZED CRUDE WORD TO DISPLAY AUTHOR'S DEFT TOUCH WITH THE LANGUAGE)))! Where's the journalistic integrity? Report the facts...
You're missing the point. Also, don't be vulgar on my Web site, lest I pound my mighty keys and make you disappear altogether.
As far as I'm concerned, they can both build bridges. So can you, after you explain why Ambassador II is necessary but DRIC is not. What's undeniably greasy here is for a political consultant who doesn't live in Rashida Tlaib's district to initiate or even threaten a recall based on a single issue on which he's being paid to take a side.
Tlaib recall
Then again he might NOT! Fantastic, building a slam on what someone might or might not do now to go after MOROUN.
I guess your spellcheck was not workig or was that a deliberate smear too?
Gee you missed this comment:
"but on Friday Mongo told MIRS that he's working solo.
"If the bridge wants to support it, that's fine, but this is my baby. I don't need to hide behind the bridge or anybody else," Mongo said"
Too bad you did NOT quote this but then again, it would ruin your Blog!
That same report quotes Mongo saying he does plan a recall, and that the Ambassador Bridge Company is his client. If you'd like to believe the bridge company has nothing to do with Mongo's sudden interest in Rashida Tlaib, step right up to the toll booth and buy the whole structure.
