Let me make something REAL clear. I do not have a dog in this fight other than the fact that I think it’s disgusting that a sitting school board member spreads gossip about a candidate and asks other people to spread it for him. The bad guy here is not the people he spreads rumors about – the bad guy is the one who writes this crap. He disparages other Republicans and elected officials. And then goes to church with them. What a jerk.
God made the Idiot for practice, and then He made the School Board.
Mark Twain
Whoever said that the government closest to the people is the best government has never been to a school board meeting.
The Fort Bend Independent School District has perhaps one of the nastiest school board races in the state of Texas. They consider elections to be a blood sport.
I’ve had some of their Republican Party emails sent to me because they are now eating each other.
Please meet David Rosenthal, a member of the school board. Here’s one of his email to his close friends, or so he thought. He’s asking them to do his dirty work so he can keep his hands clean.
You folks from foreign states won’t recognize these names but locals will. Kumar is Fort Bend’s answer to Fox News in print. He wants desperately to be loved by the Republicans and they, in turn, make fun of him behind his back. In this email, they appear to want to extort him. Deron is Deron Harrington, their candidate. Tassin is Kristin Tassin, their female opponent.
David Rosenthal, a school board member, is the author.
If anyone has other ideas, please state. Will any of this help or hurt Deron? That is truly all that matters at this point.
One thing we can do right now is to finally show that Ms. Tassin has no credibility. Here’s why and how:
1) Kumar – In his article, Republican Womens Club snubs candidate, Kumar wrote all kinds of stuff about Tassin including that she was a precinct chair and nonsense about some other Kristin Tassin. Is she really a precinct chair? Also, as we know, anyone who showed up was allowed to be a delegate. Problem is that, according to Tina Gibson, Kumar was not at that meeting. So who wrote the article? http://fbindependent.com/republican-womans-club-snubs-woman-candidate-for-school-board-p7257-1.htm
Would one of you be willing to contact Kumar and ask him who wrote the article and tell him that you are going to expose him?
2) The Fox 26 TV planted story. I have a facebook screen capture showing an admitted Tassin supporter admit that her husband was the camera man on that story and that she contacted Tassin to see if Tassin would be available. I know for a fact, that Fox 26 told the district that they would not be doing the story. The public needs to know that Tassin had no right to speak to this story, especially the way she spoke FOR the district and the board. She is not a Commonwealth parent, nor did the steering committee have anything to do w/ the Commonwealth overcrowding solution. It was between the district and the parents. Not even the board of trustees was involved. Her supporters are blaming Fox 26 for editing the story the way they did. How can we get this information out there? Is someone willing to go out and state it? I will attach the screen capture for you later today or tonight. Or one of you can go to the FBISD Concerns fb page and search for that thread and capture it. I can’t do this from work right now.
3) The most recent article in the Fort Bend Star quoted Tassin saying that she voted for John Edwards. Tassin then wrote on FB saying that she was misquoted. Can someone please call Betsy Dolan at the FB Star and ask her if she misquoted Tassin or if Tassin is trying to discredit Ms. Dolan. I would start by stating that Tassin is trying to discredit you.
4) Once we get the answers from Kumar and Ms. Dolan, can someone please go back to the FB GOP facebook page and ask Tassin these questions?
I would love to do this myself, but people keep telling me that as an elected official I can’t and shouldn’t, so it makes me even more frustrated.
I feel like Tassin’s response on the FBGOP fb site is sitting there unchallenged.

Rosenthal, if you’re not man enough to do your own dirty work, get the hell off the school board. What kind of lesson are you teaching our kids? And until they can scientifically prove that slime is not contagious, I am not voting for any candidate you support.
There will be more damn goofy school board emails tomorrow. Let’s let them twist in the wind on this one for a day.
Can you tell I’ve had it with these people?
I’ve also got sign stealing on tape and exploitation of the YMCA’s tax exempt status. (heavy sigh)
Lord, I hate local elections. I do.
