Bipartisanship, Nawbany-style: Jeff, Adam and Pat sacrifice a fellow Democrat so Danny C. Trump can place a Republican as council attorney.

Earlier: Council Power Poll: Join us as Dan Coffey selects the next city council attorney.

Quoth the Green Mouse: "Consider this."

All 6th district councilman Scot Blair must do to see a Republican installed in the council attorney seat is vote with Dan Coffey and the three "real" sitting Republicans, and voila: Kristi Fox is right there, seated next to Coffey.

Scratching your head, you wonder if this is what the Three Democratic Stooges had in mind during the six weeks they spent chasing Matt Lorch around the council chamber with a rubber knife.

Slapstick Troika: "We have come here to remind Lorch that his future in the party requires being a good soldier and stepping aside, not to praise him."

Lorch: "I'm not dead yet."

ST: "Stop running around the room. This is for Gahan's your own good! Don't you want us to allow you run for judge again?"

It's funny how when Trump does it, local Democrats are outraged, but when they do it ... we're supposed to rise and salute.

Council Power Poll: Join us as Dan Coffey selects the next city council attorney.

Don't forget, because it's White Supremacist Night at Monday's meeting: Seize the gesture and read the city council's non-binding "Resolution Condemning the Promotion of Intolerance."

Having succeeded in deposing longtime city council attorney Matt Lorch at the behest of Guido Cappuccino, Team Gahan now turns to fixing a successor. The packet for tonight's meeting includes resumes from three potential candidates.

Steven S. Lohmeyer
Kristi L. Fox
Amy Rebecca Stein

Lohmeyer's CV runs to the length of a Tolstoy novel, including details about his distinguished local family's preferred brand of kitty litter and where they vacationed in 1986.

Fox practices law with her father, a noted local Republican, which will disqualify her from service until January 1, 2020, when Admiral Dickey will have run city Democrats aground as effectively as he has the ones in the county.

Stein practices law with her father, a noted local Democrat, and she appears to be the most left-leaning option (in the context of right-wing NA). This should prompt much spittle and bile on the part of Dan Coffey, who didn't knife Lorch in the back to be seen seated next to a liberal twice monthly.

In the absence of other candidates, my guess is Lohmeyer as prohibitive favorite, but don't take my word for it.

Ask Jeff Gahan what Dan Coffey thinks -- then flee the stench accordingly.
