Brooks at full tilt: Peters ‘is a phony’ (the Michigan View.com 10.07.10)

Posted by hpayne on October 7, 2010

If Democratic Rep. Gary Peters’ gutter-ball personal attacks on Rocky Raczkowski have taken the 2010 race for the Congressional 10th to new lows, they have inspired new heights of wicked commentary from Rocky’s Oakland County fraternity brother, Brooks Patterson.

While Raczkowski has responded to Peters’ with stern press releases, the county exec – and the state GOP’s most charismatic pol – has launched an entertaining arsenal of searing poetry and video volleys at Peters in Metro Detroit media.

The theme? Peters is a mud-slinging phony – a Pelosi poodle who is attempting an Extreme Makeover after selling Michigan down the river with Obama’s far-Left agenda. In his Detroit News “Brooks Blog” this week, Patterson waxes poetic in “An Ode to Gary Peters”:

If Peters would run on his record
His campaign would be a big dud
That’s why he has gone so negative
And has been busily slinging mud

Oakland County voters aren’t stupid
We’re smarter than the average bear
We still remember Peters voted for
The Stimulus, Cap & Trade and Obamacare

On Monday, September 27, Patterson does his imitation of the lead singer for “The Platters”:

Ooh ooh, yes, I’m the great pretender
(ooh ooh) Just laughing and gay like a clown (ooh ooh)
I seem to be what I’m not you see…

I’m dedicating this classic song to Congressman Gary Peters. Why? Because he is pretending to be something he’s not you see. There’s a word for that: phony. The Great Pretender can claim to be a friend to small business in his campaign ads, but his 98 percent vote in lockstep with Pelosi and Reid’s programs sings a different tune.
Ooh ooh, I seem to be what I’m not you see. . . .

In a September 30 blog, Brooks accuses Peters of being “a wolf in sheep’s clothing.” On October 4, Peters is “running from his record.” Then Brooks puts it all together in a video tour-de-force for The Oakland Press. Like a fighter weaving in an out of Peters’ reach, Peterson jabs his finger at the camera and challenges Peters to explain his smears on Rocky’s business record.

“Are you listening here, Congressman Peters?! It’s not his partner (who is suing Rocky). His promoter is suing six vendors. This is what I mean. He’s a phony. He’s really starting to tick me off.”

Slam, wham, bang. This is better than “Detroit 1-8-7.” Keep it up, Brooks, and Lansing will throw you a 40 percent film tax break.
