Will "W" Mike Donovan Run & Hide from July 21 Showdown City Council Meeting?

[Why won't Donovan apologize to the Villa family? Will we need a court order?]

LVS readers, as you know, the next scheduled (for now) meeting of Allentown City Council on July 21 promises to be a blockbuster!

But sadly, the co-star of the show might be a pusillanimous no-show. Yep.

Email exchange w/ Allentown City Clerk, Mike Hanlon ...

Hi Mike, have any of the Allentown City Councilors given notice that he or she won't be attending the July 21 meeting?

I think Donovan and Schweyer - but I am not totally sure, I am actually on vacation, checking my mail...

----------------------

Merci Mike Hanlon, and don't forget sunblock, so readers ...

Will "W" Mike Donovan run for the hills wearing wet panties on July 21?

Will "W" Mike Donovan grow a spine before July 21 and show up?

Will Mrs. "W" Mike Donovan be pointing her flip-cam at me the whole time again? (and can you blame her?)

Inquiring minds will find out on July 21!

Bill, expect (duh)more cancellations (just sayin').

Wouldn't surprise me, City O ...

Know who's going to be the most disappointed here? Donovan's mentoring and motivational football coach that's who.

Why won't Donovan (left) apologize to Sheena's family?

Bill Villa said...

Excellent question ...

especially considering how "sincere" (wink wink) Donovan was in his "dismay" about all those vile anti-Villas comments at his blog on 69 News's coverage of the Ethics Board Whitewash ...

Watch for Donovan's eyebrow twitch; it screams, "I'm lying" ...

And everyone says I was really good on TV, a natural, relaxed, truthful, credible ... no wonder Diana Morse isn't showing her flip-cam footage of me at City Council on June 16 anywhere in the local blogosphere ...

Jon said...

"natural, relaxed, truthful, credible ..."

It's a gift Bill, and I'm jealous!

Subject Heading: You Speaking w/ Donovan

Hi Jeannette, were you able to speak with "W" Mike Donovan (and Ray O'Connell) as you pledged to me you would, when we spoke on the phone a week or so ago?

If yes, do you know if "W" is prepared to give me and my family a public apology at City Council on Wednesday evening July 21?

I'm hearing there's a chance Donovan won't even show up on Wednesday night.

Is there anything you can report? On the record ...

Didn't Donovan just go on vacation? Walden Pond or soimewheres? He was waxing pathetic at his blog from up there. So what's his excuse for missing July 21?

Angie Villa said...

Maybe football practice ... ;D

"Why won't Donovan apologize?"

Attorney (for now) Dave Najarian wouldn't apologize neither and look where that got him (just sayin').

Will Donovan pimp the cancer card to extort pity for himself? Inquiring minds want to know....

Bill Villa said...

I think you can take that one to the bank(er).

Hey, I wonder what 100% Integrity-Free Jarrett Renshaw "thinks," here he is again ...

Jarrett won't get involved. He's too busy reading comments at the newspaper web site from the paper's intellectually-challenged readers: Check out the story today about the Sands casino. Comments on the "nice titts" of the woman in the photograph.
Stay classy, Morning Call.

Angie Villa said...

Anon 7:52, to pander to the lowest common denominator, the Morning Call "newspaper" actually has a feature called "Crazy Cleavage," it's at the bottom of their website under "Photos." Very classy.

U Can't Hide said...

Donovan to 69 News: "Indeed, sometimes I just let the comments run ..."

Donovan on his blog: "... they (the comments) are fun to read."

Asshole.

Bill Villa said...

Indeed.

You won't get the true story (not even close) of what went on at "W" Mike Donovan's blog for all of March 2010 via our local media coverage of our efforts to expose it.

We believe 69 News approached and reported on the story as honestly as they could ... and we don't blame 69 News for the fact that Donovan lied to them in his interview answers. We of course do blame The Morning Call "newspaper" because these people lied in a transparently concerted effort that included the perpetrator participants, the "reporters" Jarrett Renshaw and Bill White, and the "editors" Dave Erdman, Mike Miorelli, and Tim Ryan.

However, the verifiable truth on this story is readily available here at LVS (scroll around, it's all there) ...

and ... at Allentown City Council, the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of every month, until everyone there fully "gets it" and we get our public apology from "W" Mike Donovan.

Anonymous said...

Heard back from Jeannette Eichenwald?

Bill Villa said...

Nope.

And that's the Allentown politico way.

1. Make a "promise" (wink wink) to a constituent in private ...

2. Don't honor it.

3. Ignore all follow-up inquiries about it.

And then get really really pissed off when your private promise is made public.

Oopsie.

The City Official said...

Bill, you should speak at this meeting ...

Bill Villa said...

(Merci), I'm there ...

Geoff Brace will be there (just sayin') ...

Oh I'm sure they'll ALL be there :) co-mingling ...

(Jim Martin, Bob Romancheck, Pappy Glenn Kranzley, Pam Varkony, Judge Platt, Dean Browning, Rev. Grant Harrity, etc.)

plus ...

LV NEW BOY NETWORK

Should be real tasty ...

Take your flip-cam!

Good idea, we could do a post about it ...

All LVS readers: Remember to mind your manners during the assembly!

In today's news:

Colo. city would bar disrobing at council meetings

The Associated Press

Civil rights advocates in Colorado are urging a city council to reconsider a set of proposed roles that would bar people from taking off their clothes, stomping their feet and shouting at council meetings.

Boulder's so-called "rules of decorum" were inspired by an incident earlier this year when a man stripped down to his boxer shorts while speaking before the council.

The Boulder County chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union has criticized the measure as too vague.

Well said ... ;D

Bill Villa said...

"LVS SS," let's not jump the gun on Fitzpatrick Lentz & Bubba (I've personally seen them on our SiteMeter(R) dozens of times; they're probably just LVS fans), although Phil Lauer is definitely an ass-picker, I've witnessed that myself in court.

"Donovan is on vacation and could not be reached for comment." -Helpfully Enabling "Reporter" Jarrett Renshaw in Morning Call "newspaper" story today

Jarrett, try the contacts listed for Donovan at the City Council web site ...

484.550.9241
donovan@allentowncity.org

Donovan always emails me back in like 5 minutes.

Plus, most normal elected (for now) officials would be only too happy to provide a quote while "on vacation" (wink wink), makes 'em look "dedicated."
