Anchorage Mayor Resigns After Admitting To ‘Inappropriate’ Messaging With TV Anchor | Talking Points Memo

Didn’t you say something similar to the electorate around this time in 2016? Or was that Maya Angelou saying, “When someone tells you who they are, believe them.”?

I might have mentioned it up on a rooftop here and there, yes.

So did he go after the anchor, or did she decide that going, uh, undercover to get/create a story was the way to enhance her career?

Was thinking of her yesterday.

Old friend of mine was her lover – and vice versa!

He was a Beat-adjacent poet. She was … well, she was Maya Not-Yet-Angelou but already an impressive person.

They lived on neighboring houseboats but eventually drifted apart.

Well, they were!

Their skin colors were outrageously incompatible.

You didn’t like that I called the young her “already an impressive person”?

Oh, well.

I’m sorry, but it amazes me that in 2020, politicians still can’t keep it zipped.

What the fucking hell?

My impression is that it was a screen-keyboard-telephone relationship only but, to be honest, I can’t be bothered to find out.

And anyway, your point stands. Regardless of what the “TV personality” did, the late mayor’s behavior seems to have been rather foolish.
