Tonight the institution of a new feature at Maryland Politics Today, that I hope will last for a while, people who I think should be highlighted as saying or doing something stupid. I can't really call it "World's Worst" because Keith Olbermann already has a lock on it. I cannot officially call it "Candidate's for Mensa" because the self-parody would be more irony. So I am simply going to call it "The E List."
Our inaugural inductee is Salisbury City Council Eugenie "Shanie" Shields.
In shades of Prince George's County Executive Jack Johnson, who said that rape is not a crime, Shields at today's City Council work session speaking about some of the latest murders in Salisbury she said, "That was unfortunate but basically those three murders, those people knew who they were after. It wasn't like they were just randomly shooting people on the street."
When my fellow contributor from Salisbury News and Red Maryland G.A. Harrison mentioned it, I thought he was kidding. Then I came across the audio which was posted on Salisbury News earlier today.
All I have to say is WELL DONE MA'AM. AT LEAST YOU DIDN'T SAY IT OVER A MAJOR BROADCAST OUTLET LIKE JOHNSON DID WHEN HE SHOWED HIS LEGAL MIND! The sad part is Johnson was Prince George's County States Attorney before getting elected. So answer me this, just because they were allegedly targeted, does that mean that the families of the victims are any less deserving of our prayers and support during their time of grief. Oh, and when did you become a detective? Are you sure they were targeted?
Salisbury Councilwoman Eugenie "Shanie" Shields, the worst of Maryland tonight!

An "Award" well-deserved! She stunned all of us earlier tonight by actually voting "Nay" on something, then woke up and realized that she'd missed her cue...how embarassing for her.
How embarassing for the City that this non-contributing member was even elected.
She isn't called "Shamie" for nothing. We've known what she is for a long time: a mindless twit who is only there for the money she makes and the benefits she gets (and the chocolate!). I doubt she has ever even read the Charter, let alone understand it.
Welcome back PKB.
What's it going to take for these people to wake up? A Columbine?
She is just stupid. It is a shame she represents the black community so poorly.

Read the charter , first of all , she has to learn to read!!
Who wants to watch someone sleep?
"I doubt she has ever even read the Charter, let alone understand it."
You need to provide proof that she can in fact READ, before making such statements. Thank you.
Sir:
Ms. Shields is more to be pitied than censured for her ridiculous and mindless remarks, this being but one of many. The real idiot on that City Council is Louise Smith, a/k/a "Louweasel."
Hear it now, here:

That post has mp3 links to Shanie's wisdom about those murders, etc., plus some nuggets of knowledge by Bubba -- don't miss it
The constituents in her District should be embarrassed that Shanie is what they have as their representative--she is ignorant and mindless.
To the anonymous poster at 11:39 PM...
Welcome Back? I never left. What the hell man?
