"Shakedown blogger" Don Allen, who is leading the forlorn "black Republican" charge all by himself most of the time, recently made a bid to become chair of the Minnesota Republican Party.
I am told Allen garnered 28 votes and to some it was a surprise Don Allen got any support whatsoever. But the most notable part of the competition for GOP Chair was what Don Allen expected for a salary...
According to Twitterspherian Jeff Kolb (@jpkolb) Don Allen asked for a salary of "six figures, with expenses and a severance package." Kolb reported the room erupted in laugher.
Another Twitter commenter added, "Don't forget everything you own as well." This apparently alludes to some kind of conflict Don Allen is having with somebody (when isn't he?) and a remark that was reportedly made by Allen to the effect, "I'm coming after you and everything you own."
I'm not sure of the context or who the remark was directed toward. I know that with Jill Clark lost in lawyer loony land, Don Allen doesn't have much of a shot at hiring any attorney to come after everything anybody owns.
I am told that chair positions of major parties in Minnesota are sometimes volunteer positions. It's typically a lot of work, but the people who occupy that ethereal portion of (major) party politics usually have enough money to get by and take on a volunteer position. Former DFL chair Brian Melendez was an example.
Other times, these positions are paid positions because the person believed to be best qualified can't otherwise afford to give that much time away. I am told it's usually a flat salary and, in our state, tends to top out around $50,000.
To quote the reader/source who tipped me off to this story, "So Don Allen was asking for at least twice the going rate, plus an expense account. Can you IMAGINE Don Allen with an expense account? And he apparently can tell people will want to get rid of him because he demanded a severance package up front."
To this I say: Can I imagine Don Allen with an expense account? Well, if I imagine such a thing, the imaginary scenario involves definitely involves strippers, cocaine, and Las Vegas.
The Minnesota Progressive Project blog called the four candidates running for GOP Party Chair "a hoot" but when it came to Don Allen said only, "you gotta see this for yourself" and provided a link to (yet another) cheesy Don Allen website.
Johnny, thank you so much for this story filled with exciting information about the MN GOP. Since you don't have a clue about the actual proceedings, I would be glad to give you the correct information in a candid interview. You know my number, call anytime. Again, thank you Mr. Hoff.

... so, as dandy Don Allen leads the black conservative community into the 21st century we will not hold our breath waiting for the first report of him being black...
ReplyDeleteUnbelievable!

Don Allen couldn't be any more cartoonish than Tom Emmer, who lost to a mental patient during a record landslide year for Republicans. Allen might be a good choice just for the entertainment value.
ReplyDeleteGive him a rope, he wanna be a cowboy, Gus!
ReplyDeleteHey asshole, why don't you just admit that you want to rip off as many black people as you possibly can. While I understand that you like to STEAL from our military veterans, you also STEAL from anyone one that you think you are conning.
ReplyDeleteYou are a statistic waiting to happen since I see you all of the time and share a past with you that you have no clue about. HERE IS THE RIOT ACT, DONNY BOY... stop ripping off black people and veterans or I shall seek YOU OUT FOR A CANDID DISCUSSION as you like to say to "Johnny". You can rip-off all of your fake white friends that you have acquired to, I guess, rip off also. Keep it up and you will find out, I PROMISE! There will be no return response...you have been warned!
donny, howd'd it feel to have a bunch of honky folks laughin' at yo' black ass? you better stick to stealin' from black folk cuz whitey be laughin' and talkin' 'bout yo'stupid ass
ReplyDeleteWasn't there something in your postings about Jerry Moore, with an expense account - some medical procedure alleged at a restaurant or some such?
ReplyDeleteCan you imagine the two, sharing an expense account?
Let me imagine it now..
ReplyDeleteDon Allen and Jerry Moore...with a fat expense account.
I know, says Don, let's start an organization to give prostate exams to strippers and help them with their coke addiction...
Neither of them knowing or realizing that strippers don't have prostates, not if they were born female. That's how I imagine it.
I imagine them pooling their money together and making an on-line purchase of prosthetic testicles.
