Amusing (The Next Mayor)

As Dan said, we'll be adding video of last night's crime forum as soon as it gets edited. But I thought I would elaborate on the moment Dan mentioned in his post...

Brady, as you know by now, did not attend. In his stead, he sent State Rep. Louise Williams Bishop, who was given a few moments of time to speak to the crowd gathered in the extremely high-tech Wolfington Teletorium (what a name) at St. Joseph's University.

It really is extremely high-tech, reports our spies, and so it wasn't really that surprising that Bishop accidentally pushed a button at one point that activated a large screen.

The screen began slowly to descend from the ceiling. It became obvious that the screen was the perfect size and shape to fall right in front of all the other candidates, obscuring them. Slowly it continued its descent, until finally Michael Nutter acknowledged the humor of the situation...

"Bye!" he waved.

I love the mayor's race. What a story.
