There are some VERY STRANGE people who live in “New Joisey” and this fellow Sorrentino is less strange than who I have in mind.

“…he mooned patrons at a local diner while yelling racial slurs…”
Reality Check.
This is the Republican Party going a little too far.
I think he was hoping everybody had forgotten his past and moved on. He found that these days what is out on the web never goes away.
Apparently the fellow in question is a democrat. Unless that is you think the local republicans went too far dredging up his past from seven years ago.
“I work with special needs children. I love puppies. I’m a good person.”

Actually, had he been a Republican all would have been forgiven. It is another example of their hypocrisy. Bill Clinton bad, Mark Sanford good, Newt Gingrich good. Anthony Weiner bad, David Vitter good.

No, just another classy guy from NJ.
“my singular pursuit has been to be a better person than what this report alleges…”
Well, he had me until the word “alleges.” And saying he’s better than the contents of “the report.” As if there is question of what he did and the standard of conduct is about what is in a report, not what’s socially acceptable.
Rather than “I was an moron then, and I did things that were childish and stupid and racist. I am trying to be a better person now.”

How come you don’t put that he’s a Democrat in the headline like you do when Republicans do stuff like that, Josh?
Not just hard. It’s a blood sport.

The takeaway here is he yelled at a diner with his pants down as opposed to not being able to yell in an airport restroom with your pants down because your mouth was full.
Damn good thing it was not Christie…total block of the sun.
…but all Republicans are assholes.

Oh, I’m sure there’s a couple of them who just grew up that way and just don’t know any better. 
None of which, of course, has to do with the targets of his slurs.
To get you to read the article, and to out those posters who make conclusions contrary to information provided in the article.

I would be surprised if the school district he works for doesn’t act on this information. Actually, I’m surprised they didn’t act on it when it happened, or discover it via background check if he was hired after it happened.
He’s probably not going to be a coach or school board member for much longer either.

Yeah, that’s not so good. Seven years is a long time, but it’s a very long path from “pants down and… yelling “nigger” through the diner window”, accosting people as “dikes,” making “vulgar comments” and “threaten[ing] to strike the women” to being the kind of guy I’d trust to do the best for a special needs child of mine.
Might be better off sticking to politics.

Things might have gone better for him if he had owned up to it at the start of the campaign. He’s 29 now, and was just 22 and 23 when these incidents happened. He could’ve said he made a couple stupid mistakes when drunk and with a group of fellow drunks, but he’s reformed since then and see where the chips would fall. I’m having these flashbacks to the movie “Diner.”.
