This gives a twist to the saying "caught with your pants down'. Cleveland mayor, Eric Brewer lost the primary election just after scantily clad pics of him dressed as a woman began making the interweb rounds.
East Cleveland voters must of not have liked what they saw from their Mayor late last week as Eric Brewer lost in today's primary by a margin of 2-1 to challenger Gary Norton. Brewer made headlines late last week when photos that were said to be him dressed in provocative photos as a woman surfaced to a dismayed public.Norton, who was the City Council President, will now assume the duties as Mayor at the beginning of next year as he will run unopposed in the general election. Brewer said after the photos were leaked that it was dirty politics and asked the voters to look at his record as they headed to the polls.
The new ex-mayor is partially right. Some voters don't want a cross-dresser in office. But I suspect a lot more voters don't want a sloppy politician in office.
The mayor is old enough to know better. One does not take pictures while half naked as a public figure and then act surprised that they end up on the interwebs. If he is that stupid about something that is so easily preventable and common sense, what other more important things can he screw up? No one wants a politician with a sloppy personal life...they're vulnerable to blackmail, they're susceptable to making stupid decisions that will affect people's lives.
Politicians without dirty little secrets are trecherous enough...no one needs one that damn sloppy.
And on a lighter note, the ex-mayor should really get some better foundation....just sayin'.
