Sly- Madison's Favorite Jackass

Uncle Jimbo- Bestriding the Internets like a Colossus | 5/15/2006 11:43 am | ...

The first I ever heard of Lucy Mathiak was when I saw her face on an ad for School Board here on madison.com. She is an advertiser, I am an employee of madison.com and Sly is a JACKASS!

These three elements come together because the rotund, radio maroon decided that knitting is bad and threw his weight as a local luminary into slagging Ms. Mathiak. She incurred his semi-coherent wrath for having the unmitigated gall to knit during a school board meeting. I mean what kind of message does that send to the children of this town when a school board member willfully introduces dangerous weapons into what should be a safe environment. Imagine if Mathiak lost control, became enraged at the lack of funding for after-school activities and plunged one of these dangerous implements into someone's eye. Oh wait, that's not what the big clown is all chafed about?.......He is just being a jagoff because she was knitting, period? Jeez this guy is better at parodying himself than I am, oh and it gets better.

Apparently Ms. Mathiak has a bit of a wry sense of humor and once the clown prince began lobbing satchels of crap at her, she answered him stylishly, asking folks to guess what she was knitting.

1) A gavel cozy for board prez Johnny Winston Jr.

2) Secret signals to Ruth Robarts

3) A felted purse for the Campus Childcare's June 15 silent auction

4) An Isadora Duncan-length scarf for WTDY's Sly

Now self-absorbed, bloviator Sly immediately dispatched an intrepid assistant to google Isadora Duncan and inform him of just how he had been slandered, and so informed he goes on to prove his ill mannered and semi-educated status by failing to note he had been deftly zapped so he writes:

Isabella Duncan was a turn-of-the-century dancer ,

It's Isadora there dum dum, and she died when her overly long scarf caught in a cart wheel and she was drug to her death. Ms. Mathiak's inclusion of this possibility means a horrific death threat has been lodged against Madison's Favorite Jackass and he doth protest:

"I expect that Mathiak was thinking that she could make this reference without worry - it would just go over the head of a crude, illiterate talk personality and his lowest-common-denominator audience."

I assume she figgered the audience might get the reference, and hopefully explain it to him. I would go with crude and semi-literate though, I mean I can understand his inanities to an extent.

You know, the same listeners that voted at a ratio of 3 to 1 that Lucy should stop knitting at those meetings. Believe it or not, Lucy, I figured out that you would like to see me dead, with my neck broken, dragging behind a car.

I realize that dealing in 15 second sound bites designed to deride an opponent rather than address an argument makes it tough to marshal a thought, but really. His child-like glee in uncovering her heinous innuendo is charming. I wonder if he will engage the services of a bodyguard to protect him, or take Kung Fu lessons in case she menaces him with her knitting needles of death.

I'm sure that many-a-politician has wished for my eminent demise, but nobody has ever been so arrogant to say so publicly.

As in most things he vastly inflates his importance to politicians or anyone, more likely they simply wished he would shut his cakehole, and then ignored him when he didn't.

Lucy, you are setting a fine example for students in the Madison Metropolitan School District. The next time a student is chastised for being rude and distracting in the classroom, perhaps they can publicly hope for their teachers physical demise.

The image of this buffoon trying to paint the hobby of nice ladies and Grandmas around the world as rude and distracting is a whole new echelon of ironic or meta-ironic, I will have to consult the Book of Foolishness. Not that we have a right to expect much from the clown prince of our radidio spectrum here in Madison, but in the words of noted philosopher and social critic Bugs Bunny "What a maroon!"
