For example, on July 23, Goldy wrote that he would not vote for me because I am âthin-skinned.â Thin-skinned? Really? Is that the best you can throw at me? Besides, itâs not even true.
My skin isnât thinâit is thick and supple like a well-marbled pork belly.
True story: Once, during a rousing rendition of âYou Canât Get a Man with a Gunâ at our weekly legislative session karaoke night, Senator Pam Roach accidentally let off a shot from the Glock 19 she keeps in her purse. Hit me square in the cheek. Didnât leave a mark. Never found the bullet.
Howâs that for thin-skinned?
As for the rest of the feeble barbs tossed my way by Stranger staffâthe accusations of being âinflexibleâ and âdisingenuous,â and of having âenormousâ eyes âlike a weepy deerâ (yes, I know you were tweeting about me, Anna, and I have a fucking thyroid condition)âwell, enjoy sucking an ex-mayorâs cock for a change. My communications director makes more than all of you combined, and heâs got standing instructions from the motherfucking mayor to tell you all to go fuck yourselves up your asses with a rolled-up Weekly. This is my city now, and my face eats bullets, motherfuckers. And if you call me âthin-skinnedâ one more time, Iâll burn you to the fucking ground.
