Donovan's Explosive Meltdown (Accelerates)


8/27 UpDate: Morning Call freelancer and Mrs. "W" Mike Donovan [Diana Morse] foams at the mouth at LVS in a series of angry, profane, and uncivil name-calling emails, see comments section ...

More hysterical Donovan verbosity & pomposity (how soon can he resign?) ...

Already embittered and embattled Allentown City Council vice president (for now) "W" Mike Donovan (above left, looking like Little Lord Fauntleroy) has once again ignited a local firestorm of disapproval and protest against him.


In "championing" the whinings of a minority of 5 Allentonians, the self-admitted "hard of hearing" Donovan recently succeeded in getting the IronPigs baseball team to hush up(!) its 8-minute fireworks displays that were fan favorites and greatly enjoyed by the IronPigs' East Side Allentown neighbors, see: IronPigs to scale back fireworks shows.

The blistering backlash against Councilor Donovan in dozens of comments at the Morning Call's "Forum" drew this unhinged after-midnight comment from a Forum-hovering Donovan himself, and an astute suggestion from the constituent Donovan was threatening ...

wmdonovan at 12:24 AM August 21, 2010

I am the councilman. i am not an opinion poll watcher, and I look out for the minority, when necessary, something which is a benefit of democracy. The city does not get any taxes from the Pigs. There is no Amusement Tax that we receive. If I lived within the reach of that noise and had young children, you can bet I would be complaining about the frequency and lateness. The task was to work out something that would benefit both sides. For Nicholas, the next time you have a concern that perhaps only you and a few others have, but you sincerely feel you are being harmed, I'm not sure if I'll be the right person to ask for help. Best regards, Michael Donovan

Nicholas at 8:09 AM August 21, 2010

How the heck did you ever win an election with that attitude.... Folks listen to this guy. How about you quit now and do the majority a favor ...

Donovan's constituent abuse is continuing in a post called "Fireworks" at his ironically titled blog "Inclusion" (?) where Donovan, oozing self pity, hints that his days as an Allentown elected official may be numbered, voluntarily.

Since most Allentonians now "have Professor Donovan's number ..."

thanks to LVS's exclusive exposé coverage of colluding crony-crooked insider Donovan ...

we agree w/ Forum commenter Nicholas that Donovan should number his days as an elected official at that same number (zero) and resign from Allentown City Council, Allentown Economic Development Corporation (AEDC), the Allentown Parking Authority, and the Allentown Arts Commission immediately.

What Cedar Crest College ultimately opts to do w/ its "Ethics" Professor "W" Mike Donovan will be revealed exclusively here at LVS, ASAP.

Q. Where was "champion of the oppressed minority" Mike Donovan when legitimately oppressed (and suppressed) Allentonians the VILLAS asked for Donovan's help against out-of-town bloggers who were provoking, criminally harassing, and libeling them?

A. Donovan joined forces w/ these out-of-towners in provoking, criminally harassing, and libeling the Villas.

Donovan should resign from all City-related positions immediately.

Stone deaf (and dumb) is more like it.

Concerned Citizen said...

Let mme get this straight...Council VP Donovan is AGAINST neighbor puppy dogs, teens playing in parks, and family fun/fireworks...but he's FOR sadistic cruelty, criminal harassment, and libel against grief-stricken Allentown families. One helluva platform Mike.

Well, you made me look up his blog. In it, he says he will not tolerate name-calling. I think it's a little late for that.

Look's like Donovan got skewered by a few morning call readers. I agree with one comment, that the way the City reacted to five complaints about fireworks will be a red flag to anyone else looking to develop a major project in Allentown. We sure look like a bunch of rubes. I can't figure out Donovan's logic: That a bad decision is justified because it protects a "minority" of five complainers from a majority of clear thinkiing citizens.
I'm also alarmed that Donovan alrady seems to have decided not to run for re-election, so he's totally out of control, now.

Bill Villa said...

5:45, too late indeed. Donovan had no problem w/ his out-of-town political blog buddies posting and signing comments all of March 2010 name-calling me a "urine drinker," "incestuous necrophiliac," "Sheena's ashes snorter," "convicted criminal," "death threatener," "DA terrorizer," etc., etc.

A totally transparent fuckin' phony, Mike Donovan.

Bill Villa said...

5:54, if Donovan's announcing his self-imposed lame duck status now, why not just quit now? Unless he's just looking to extort pity for himself from gullible college gals like "Claudia."

"Donovan ... totally out of control, now."

I'll say.

An email I received today said...

[Posted w/ author's permission]

Subject Heading: I found someone else ...

"I have been fighting mostly silently with the Morning Call and DA office since October 2009. The State Police served a search warrant on my home accompanied by an ass. DA. When they did not find what they "thought" they would find the ass. DA had a temper tantrum. What was reported in the Morning Call was so untrue I thought the Morning Call would have to apologize, they never have. The whole Judicial system in Lehigh County needs to be carefully looked at. There is to much comradeship among prosecutors, defense lawyers and judges. What group to join to derail the total bias of reporting and unfair "Justice" that exists in Lehigh County?"

The emailer and I have swapped phone numbers and we'll be speaking by phone this week.

ok. now i get it. little lord donovan wants to be mayor of allentown. but he has burned all his bridges w/ his own party via bashing party "leader" rick daugherty. and being a follower of chris casey hasn't helped any. enter local gop "leader" dr. bob romancheck who has been showing up to support donovan everywhere lately, ethics board hearing, city council. so donovan switches back to being a republican (which he was when living in maine) and runs against pawlowski w/ the morning call as donovan's campaign manager.

Sounds like a plan.

Well, well. The local newspaper finally acknowledges that Donovan is an ass.
Give an idiot enough rope and he will surely hang himself sooner than later.

Bill Villa said...

Ever since I put a link to this post in a Forum comment at today's Morning Call "newspaper" story on Donovan, our already record-breaking visits to LVS have DOUBLED, which tells us our circulation and The Morning Call's are about the same.

Bill Villa said...

"Well, well. The local newspaper finally acknowledges that Donovan is an ass."

Indirectly, the truth does shine through Jarrett Renshaw's transparently pathetic attempt at trying to prop Donovan up again ... which Renshaw has a history of doing in defilement of real journalism.

Renshaw and his editors should get fired over this and we're on it.

It's hard to really tell if the Morning Crawl is praising Donovan or dissing him (?) sort of how fake professional wrestling works where the good guys and bad guys take turns being each other.

JR Superstar said...

I went to an Iron Pigs game with my son and the fireworks were his favorite part. There were a lot of other kids at the game and I bet many of them felt the same way, adults too. Because a few people complain (who are probably greatly outnumbered by people who enjoy the fireworks shows) Mr. Donovan wants to lessen a wonderful experience for children and families?

Bill Villa said...

Hey JR, "W" Mike Donovan just keeps making one really bad and high-profile decision after another.

In March, "W" Mike The Decider decided it was a good idea to let out-of-town hate bloggers criminally harass and libel my family for a month at his blog-- then he decided to publicly refuse to apologize for it.

Donovan's a duped dunce. He needs to be removed from Allentown City Council and Cedar Crest College ASAP.

Bill White writes today that Donovan is "interesting" and displays "gumption."
Mmmmm, that's interesting. It takes a lot of gumption to soft-peddle the embarassment that is Donovan. But since the Morning Call cartel has adopted the Dipsy Don as one of its own, it has no choice but to spin Donovan's lunacy as simply "interesting."

Bill Villa said...

Thanks for the heads-up. The Morning Call "newspaper" obviously thinks its readers will swallow anything like Bill White does.

Cordero was pressured and intimidated into withdrawing. The judge was ready to find Donovan guilty. That's what I've heard.
