"The incident was called a "verbal argument" between Councilman Jim Gordon and his wife, by the responding officers, police said Friday."
The Republican candidate went on to say that "his wife called police and later regretted it?"
Setting aside this story, we at the Polloi have a few questions:
- How many times have you called the police during an argument with a spouse?
- Is a spouse somehow unbalanced or irrational if they phone the police unnecessarily?
- Does a spouse phone the police during the first verbal argument or does the spouse have some reference point from prior arguments and knows that police presence is required?
As for the story, Gordon used some rather unfortunate words: His wife phoned the police and later regretted it? How and in what manner did she regret the call?
Finally, the Times Union used an unfortunate photo to accompany the story.
Note: All females wearing sunglasses. Just sayin'

Glad to have you back.
ReplyDeleteGlad to have you back.
ReplyDeletePeople argue... who cares, pretty boring and pointless story for the first post
ReplyDeleteThe police are called to the home of the republican mayoral candidate on a domestic dispute and you think its pointless and boring ?! Of course you do Harry
DeleteTrue, people argue. My husband and I do. We don't call 911.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back. There are more pressing stories, though than "candidate has argument with wife."
ReplyDeleteHow about candidates wife calls police after argument erupts over infidelity! Would that be better. Don't minimize sleazyness
DeleteA wife feels the need to phone the cops, just for an argument? Please. There's a problem here.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree. What about the Wiltshire/Everett feud?
ReplyDeleteThis story reeks of the author personally not liking a candidate. I'm happy this blog is back but please post articles of actual value.
ReplyDeleteAnd others such venues don't? Can we limit Rich Crist's comments per post please?
ReplyDeleteSo we have a flawed Republican candidate. When compared to those on the other lines, I suspect this guy is a saint.
ReplyDeleteI curious what makes you say this? Got anything juicy?
ReplyDeleteImagine Bill Dunne running his yap about this. Now that's funny
ReplyDeleteNo one ever called 911 on Dunne. Stick to the topic. If it's so innocent, the Gordon's should release the report and audio of the call.
ReplyDeleteThe republican candidate for mayor has the police called to his house by his wife and this is not newsworthy? Give me a break. Can you imagine the field day Jim.Gordon and his pals would be having if Mr Wiltshires wife called the police on him? It would be all over social media. And if you Gordon supporters don't think that would happen, then you are delusional!
ReplyDeleteLet me hear you say yeah!
ReplyDeleteLOL...need we even do into Dunne's little imbroglio at DASNY?
ReplyDeleteTry English next time.
